Well, so far I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. Even though we only heard two characters talking for little more then seconds, the voice acting was anything but disappointing. I hope they'll bring out a more chatty trailer soon, to compare the animation when the characters are talking.

The trailer reminds me of Mass Effect... and that's not a bad thing at all.
I'm still wondering how this new story will fit in with the story of SO3. Retcon part 3? Maybe the new game is a prequel? Or is tri-Ace simply ignoring whatever sense of continuity the series supposedly has? |

It's been speculated there's no UP3 Law existing for SO4. The law that existed for undeveloped planet interaction mentioned in the three previous SO games, the one Fate wouldn't shut up about for a while. So events may led up to that.
Of course this was a while back when there were only three characters, so not sure if any background information was released concerning it. |

And that's why I prefer the PS3, 'cause I can guarantee this one will be region locked as hell. -_- <--- still has a grudge against the 360 for Vesperia, which still isn't here. Quote:

Maybe Famitsu doesn't care about graphics but heavily emphasizes gameplay and originality? After all, they've had a history of rating games very high that while not entirely polished, shattered the mold in terms of how its played.

Dude, Last Remnant have crappy story, superb graphics, superb gameplay but had ridiculously glicthed horrible loading times. Proof that Squeenix hasn't fully understand how to properly implement the Unreal Technology like Gears of War 2. The horribly glitched graphic loading times it self, which most likely to occur on every battles is enough to make the game no where near perfect.
Why they rate Last Remnant 38/40 while Valkyria Chronicles received a 34/40 is beyond me. |

See thing is, if you install the game to HDD, the graphic load times become minimal. And if you're really REALLY anal about what little slowdown there was even after all that, then go down to 480 resolution, and the lag disappears completely.
So yeah, you'd have less than stellar graphics, but then again graphics doesn't affect gameplay and you've pretty much got rid of what's the biggest complaint about for the game. Which again as I said, Famitsu probably rated TLR most heavily on gameplay/originality moreso than any other factor (including graphics). After all, they just kept on raving and raving on about its battle system and didn't mention much of anything else in their review of TLR. And yeah, I'd rate TLR at 38/40 and VC as 34/40 myself. I personally find VC overrated by critics. It has an interesting story, looks awesome and runs like a well oiled machine, but the gameplay is just a minor improvement over say, Operation Darkness, if I had to give a comparison. |

But in terms of gameplay, then yes I have to agree with you. Last Remnant was simply superb in its own right and a pioner and definitely blows VC out of the water. I would give Last Remnant 10 solely for gamplay and 7 for VC. |

I agree that the battle system was very enjoyable despite the lag, but the graphics definetly weren't the main complaint. For onw thing the storyline was really bad and there were load screens everwhere heck, I saw a load screen in the middle of a cutscene. Even though last remnant was pretty good Famitsu shouldn't have give it a score that high and it's rather obvious that they only gave it a score that high because it was released by Square-Enix, they give extremely high score to all S-E games, and this game is no exception. If any other dev released this game it definetly would've gotten a lower score. Well i'd rate VC as 38/40 and TLR as 34/40. I find that VC was perfectly rated by critic, VC was better than TLR in most ways the graphics, the story, it had no visible slowdown or lag and it's battle system was rather innovative and fun, even though it's nt as innovative as TLR's. I do however think that TLR was a little underrated I mean despite all it's problems it atleast deserved a score in the mid-high 70's. Wow...that was an extremly long post... |

Whereas TLR will have you spending 100+ hours on the sidequests, dungeons, and grinding your stats plus equipments. This not include new game +. TLR have longer enjoyable hours. Most of us play TLR just for the gameplay, while VC for the story and eye candy graphics. Hopefully SO 4 will have the combinations of all of them above. |

So far from what we've seen of SO4 I'm getting mixed vibes. Technically impressive, combat looks fast-paced, but I do hope the quality of the fights will be good, and I also hope there'll be a decent number of decent sidequests as well. |
