I read the reveiw and it sounds pretty good to me.

The battle system [new ATB] contuinues to grab my attention. Looking like a purchase for the PS Triple latar on if they ever decide to publish it in America.

I was expecting a 2 from Eurogamer. Sounds good, though it won't stop skeptics from talking about the low Famitsu score.

And 8? It should fair pretty well. I see it getting similar reviews to Lost Odyssey (aka 7 and 8s.)

The numeric scores from eurogamer has always been suspect to me.

Interesting read though.

This part made me happy. Eurogamer quotes....

" The lynchpin of the system is combo attacks, which you create and name yourself from the vast selection of commands and actions that open up as you level up your characters. You can string together magic, close and long-range attacks and aerial moves into fantastically satisfying action-game-like chain commands, which then slot seamlessly into your move-selection menu. They're executed with timed button-presses in the field, contributing to the combat's hands-on, action-heavy feel. Hits are pleasingly weighty, especially with axes and longswords, and fights against more impressive enemies can look properly gorgeous, particularly when fighting on a beefed-up scale as the White Knight. " (Eurogamer, 2009)

I think the combat is alot faster then what they have been showing at demonstations like TGS

Lets see...

WKC reviews thus far 29(famitsu) 70%(rpgfan) 80%(eurogramer)

Star Ocean reviews thus far 34(famitsu) 70%(game informer)

I don't see how it got "better" reviews, they are roughly the same right now.

Even still, the fact that they are roughly the same is pretty impressive. SE is not the giant it once was.

Only on Eurogamer, everywhere else SO4 has scored better - doesn't stop both games from being very average though.

To be honest, after reading that, I think they are pretty accurate with their JRPG reviews.

i've been looking forward to this game. Level 5 made some fun JRPGs last gen (DQ 8 and Rogue Galaxy were personal favs of mine) and haze unit has said alot of good things about the game...so hopefully it is as good as Eurogamer believes...

Nothing. Technically it isn't even announced to make it stateside, but the lead dev said he has hopes to bring it over.

Eurogamer could score games very low (MGS 4 8/10), or very high (Halo 3 10/10), so we should wait till it gets more reviews and comes out over here, I am still looking forwards to it.

It is only one score there, shouldn't you wait a little bit before actually saying "this should silence those haters!"

Right now going off 2 scores(famitsu and Eurogamer) the average score is 76%, when you had Sony fanboys claiming that Level 5 is the new SE, it is going to take a little more then 80% to quite fanboys hating on the game.

I should of put " " arounds it. but for MGS 4 a 8 was pretty low. They could play very hard ball on some review scores while going easy on others.

Still why would hell freeze over? Were you expecting SO4 to blow WKC out of the water? Level- 5 is just as good as Tri-Ace when producing games with deep customization. Don't expect SO to go that far

IIRC all the trailers say it's coming to Japan and NA at the end of the trailers, no mention Of Europe though :(

I expected a 2/10 from them, so it's a nice surprise. However, Eurogamer is BY NO MEANS a reliable source. I still remember their MGS4 bashfest and now they put WKC on the same level as MGS4.
