I played this game on the Xbox 360 a while ago with my friend who had the game. To me, it was REALLY fun and a good RPG. Yes, I agree the story might be a little lacking (based on what I played with my friend so far), but it's still a really good game for all the "true" JRPG fans out there, kinda feels like a Grandia on steroids! I thought the graphics were really nicely done, very colorful. I like well done cel shaded/3D graphics. Remember when Zelda: Windwaker was coming out for the game cube? Everyone was trippin that wasn't 3D and the graphics are gonna be crap, etc. etc. Personally I thought Windwaker had one of the most interesting graphics of it's time, and here we are looking at games that are more polished based on that original Cel shaded style graphics (Tales of Vesperia looks amazing too).
Anyways, a must buy I think for any PS3 owners who are hardcore JRPG fans, because I don't see a nice classic JRPG style game like this coming to the PS3 anytime soon =( Ultimately the JRPG genre is dying in this era of gaming at least on consoles, most JRPGs nowadays are being released on handhelds, and I'm not so sure why.
