I'm so going to import this, since we still haven't heard a word a western release yet.
Proper in-game footage on youtube I'm really impressed. The areas are big and loading is kept at a minimum. I think this game got the balance right, between graphics and performance. |

Pretty sure they have and I would expect this and Graces to get announced, Last Story probably too far off. God I'm surprised I'm looking forward to nearly as many or even more PSP and Wii games for the rest of the year than I am Ps3 and 360.

The animation is fine, as far as i can tell, framerate is smooth and gameplay is fast. Only thing you could complain about is the art direction/character design, but i see it as a trade-off that did pay-off. High framerate + low loading times will always beats CGI movies.

You're comparing a game against a dating similation/similator. I never played any 3d eroge, but as far as i can see older titles tend to focus on the characters and the environment is kept at an acceptable level. And that is basically the trade off, do you design a game where all the processing power is pumped to rendered the characters and let them run in a blocky or blurry world, or do you try do balance it out. Since the consoles are always limited by their components, you cannot compare these tiltes to their computer versions or to computer games in general, see RE5/BH5 on PC vs 360/PS3, in comparison the 360/PS3 version were running like a joke at low 30s. |

But I don't think it'll happen. After all, this IS the year of FF13 and Resonance of Fate. It's difficult to end up on either far end of the spectrum, but landing nearer RoF is certainly possible, especially given that RoF was a small-studio game that did better than the linear motor FF13.

As expected of Yoko Shimomura! (I know there's 5 other composers who have contributed to this as well) BBS was really nice and Last Ranker should be good... If Versus XIII and 3rd Birthday come out this year as well she could arguably have the best year ever for a rpg composer.

haven't been posting in this thread yet, but I picked this up on release date last week, and man is this probably the best rpg I've played in a long time.
I had started to think I was getting burned out on Jrpgs finally, turns out there had just been a bunch of really crappy ones in a two year stretch or so ^_^;; The story has really started to come together at the 15 hour mark or so, the gameplay fun, the world huge and beautiful. Dungeons are vast and well designed. The characters are well written and endearing. I'll save my final verdict for when I finish the game (and that could be awhile with all the questing and exploration), but at this point I may have to say that not only is this a great rpg, but may end up being one of my all time favorites. It's already on the same level as Xenosaga/Gears IMO Just got to one area with hauntingly beautiful scenery and music at night, and had to finally pull myself out of being mesmerized by it all to get some things done ^_^;; Great job Monolith, let's hope that you get more chances to make amazing pieces of gaming such as this! tldr; its a really fun game. Highly recommended for import or on domestic release

Finished the game. I guess I still have a few quests to do, missed a few quests, and need to defeat that lv.120 dragon, but anyways...
It was AWESOME! Wow, talk about amazing. Just everything was amazing. So complete! The BGM was great! The characters were great (No lolis! Rare!)! The story was great! I played more than 100 hours! etc. etc. Nothing but praise for this game! Wow... Thank you Nintendo! Thank you Monolith! And thank Bandai for being stupid enough to sell Monolith to Nintendo! ...Pity there is no release in America yet... There are listings though.
