I liked it

Only doubts I had was the fighting system. Hopefully that will improve since the demo had a limited amount of folks available.

I literally just beat FFXII two weeks ago. Going from FFXII to Folklore I honestly wasn't impressed. I thought the areas you run around in were too bare and really didn't look too next gen to me. The character models look decent though. I'll still probably rent it on Gamefly but I wanted more. I also believe all next gen titles need to have voice acting. The comic style dialogue is cool, but they should still have voiceovers during the discussions.

I have the import version of the game and have not played the demo. The demo must really look terrible because there is no way it looks anything near a PS2 game, even FF12.

The game has been out in Japan for quite some time, the US and Asian versions of the game will only differ in the languages, i.e. English for US version, English and Chinese (selectable) for Asian version.

So expect to see the same graphics (which I felt is good enough for a PS3 RPG game) as in the demo.

BTW, if any of you have played the Japan demo version, it actually had some dialogues and cut scenes etc which for some reason were taken out in the US/EU demo. However, the US/EU demo did have more boss monsters and slightly different path :)

I had originally played the Japanese demo and wasn't very impressed but I gave the US demo a chance hoping that being able to understand the spoken dialogue would interest me more. The idea of capturing your enemie's souls and using them in battle is a novel idea but the actual gameplay felt repeitive and cheapened by the area layouts. Wandering from area to area as each spawns a collection of critters to kill quickly became quite boring.

While I like the coloring and imagination used in the graphics I didn't find the graphics themselves to be anything terribly impressive. I actually found most of the characters and enemy models to have a similar look to Enchanted Arms.

Of course this is all just my opinion and the full game might be quite a bit better than these initial areas, I just don't see myself picking this game up.

LOL youre joking right? high-dynamic range is enabled, and theres no way a ps2 could pull that off. i thought the graphics are amazing, some of the best on ps3 so far. theyre not the best, but theyre leagues better than ps2.

personally, i cant wait for this game. im gona preorder it when i go to pick up lair on friday

i agree about the battles, the ai needs to be improved or they should be more aggressive. Though thanks to the Amazon deal im buying this game anyways ;)

I liked the game it wasreally good and so far this game (or demo) uses great potential of the sixaxis motion for once. It seems cool that pulling the ps3 controller back sucks up the enemies souls.

It's better than PS2 graphics, but they aren't top notch either.

I could not have said that any better myself!, pans labrynth is the first thing that came to mind when I played the *** demo, allthough I loved the english demo I for some reason liked the *** demo more because it showed a bit more story and non fighting interaction, like exploring etc.. Allthough couldn't understand wtf was going on lol =)

Should be a Decent game =)

I liked it, it certainly has appeal. The music when you hover over its icon reminds me of MediEvil, so it has oldschool charm to it. I also liked the unique ways to kill enemys and bosses and the way you attack
