has anyone else had a chance to play it yet? i'm highly enjoying it - much better than blue Dragon. It's still an old-school turn-based RPG, but with lots of perks like front-row defense walls and linkable skills. the graphics fucking kill me, in that good way, like staring into the face of a deity. a few framerate hiccups, but nothing too terrible. i also find the story, particularly the dream sequences, quite good also. |

didn't play it because I haven't yet touched a 360, but I almost bought the soundtrack cos there's some amazing stuff there, liking it better than blue dragon on that front |

I think it's funny that the 360 is getting way more JRPGs than the PS3. This game looks good, I might buy this used pretty soon, problem is I think FF12's ''real-time'' battle system might have spoiled me. |

I think it's funny that so many people still see the JRPG as an interesting, viable format for video games. |

ok that was much too negative. :p Just a little bored by the fact that they all seem to share the exact same story arc, not to mention the characters are almost always a rehash of the same template. But hey, whatever floats your taco. |

the same could be said for all FPS games released in the last 10 years, but people don't seem to mind specific boundaries, because only within certain boundaries it becomes fun to mess around and express yourself... games like blue dragon and lost odyssey are probably almost too conventional (almost 'retro'), but not all j-rpgs are the same. |

yeah, don't get me wrong, the FPS genre is subject to the same lack of originality. If I'm going to complain about J-RPGs, then I should add that very few genres are consistently original or "fresh." When so much money goes into making a single game, I could see it being easy for developers to fall into the "if it ain't broke...." method of development. Thus, they stick with the proven formulae more often than not. |

yea and especially at Microsoft's behest: it seems that they specifically hired the Mistwalker team to produce a couple of "token RPGs" for the X-Box 360 - the height of cynicism, in a way... It was probably in their contract to provide as traditional RPG's as possible. (oooh, conspiracy theory!!) |

wtf JRPG? is that a new genre? |

Well, you know, there's obvious aesthetic/game design differences between Eastern and Western RPGs. You can instantly tell what continent a given RPG is from. You just can. But dumbing either down to a ''rehash of the same template'' doesn't do them justice, of course. Everything's a rehash of something if you don't appreciate or understand the details. |

You could'va just said it stands for japanese rpg, the ones the characters have spiky hair and big eyes and are all kinds of emo and you can't tell apart the male characters from the female ones. |

VIDEO GAMES. IT IS THE FUTRUE. NO DOUTB ABOUT IT. |

i actually agree with you. I thought Blue Dragon was boring. In fact, I don't really touch many turn-based JRPG's, but this one grabbed me. The interesting dream story sequences (written by an award-winning japanese novelist), several new battle tweaks such as on-screen casting time, changing equipment during battles and customization are really keeping me. that, and it's nice to look at. i honestly don't know why it's grabbing me, but it is. the storyline's quite matured for such a game, even it is the same arc. |
