Yeah we have another thread on this but the TC has put up a silly Topic Title so I am making this thread to change that and tell more System Wars visitors about this game.

A Friend mentioned the game a while ago to me, i didn't listen to him thinking i would know about it if its any good i stand humbled so far.

very surprised to be honest...

I'm actually a basher for "From software" games :P

Edit: and I'm still having all the doubts I had for the game :P

I'm not a fan of generic medieval settings either, but there's typically more to a game than still imagery you know?

YEah i know i felt it deserved another if i get in trouble so be it the other Title suggested a bad games when clearely its not. To Clembo 1990 just read the reiview i could say the same about another Mario game using Mario again for the main Character, i see where your coming from but i could say the same about an awful lot of games. Its all about the quality lets see what GS thinks huh?

The music was absolutely horrible. I think I'm deaf now..... :?

Horrible music aside, the game looked very nice. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

I have been keeping my eye on this one. Sounds like I may need to go ahead and import the asian or korean version with english. No telling when it will land here in the US.

Odd review. While he doesn't bash the game he doesn't seem to praise it all too much either. He just keeps going on about how hard it is.

I imported the asian version. The game is good, but wouldn't give it a 9.0 tbh. it's a 7.5 - 8.0 for me.

The game sounds cool and challenging from the reviews I read and definitely want another RPG. I hope Sony releases this in NA especially since two versions already have english vo, menus, etc

I have been plying it at my friends house, the game is absolutely fantastic. It is a fairly difficult and challenging game but nothing you cannot adapt to and use a few cheap tricks to get ahead.
The online part of it is amazing. Invading other peoples worlds and having people invade yours (especially when you are in a party) is awesome.

Going to stop myself there, I could write dozens of paragraphs on this game and its features but I have a feeling it would be wasted here. Lets just leave it at, if you can afford it, this one is worth the chance.

Really, the graphics and gameplay don't impress me that much.
