[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]I liked it.
i think the thing that will knock it down is the whole "turn based just seems so dated" garbage like rpgs actually have good gameplay to begin with.
and the us voice overs are going to stink. i dont know, but they ususally do.kankthetank
Well, it really depends. When considering traditional JRPGs, having an excellent story and character interaction usually overshadows some of the shortcomings of the so called "dated" gameplay. Randomecounters, for instance,might seem frustrating but if the battle system is good enough and the story is intriguing to make you wanna go on, then you wouldn't really mind it much.
Luckily, LO's story looks to be very good especially when you take into account who's writing it. Plus, from this footage, the battle system looks fun to play and tankfully, unlike Blue Dragon, you don't have one animation for most of the attacks. The game looks like a next-gen FFX (hopefully, a lot less linear too).
Also, judging from the english trailer from E3, the english voice acting is actually pretty good. So there's hope there, plus, I believe there will be a Japanese voice option to choose in the NA version.
yeah but i even watch anime in english. SOrry but i listen to things i can understand.
But honestly after watching that, i dont see how this isnt hyped higher. Blue Dragon was kiddy looking, childish, looked simple, and the demo showed alot of its flaws. But all in all it was a good game for the most part with mixed reviews.
This game the gameplay looks fine, the story should be interesting, the characters arent so lifeless looking, and i doubt Kaim will have an annoying phrase like "i wont give up" a thousand times. And the scenery is just amazing. I love the look of the game.
F that I HYPE THIS GAME AA myself and i say the game has a good shot at AAA IMO.
