I don't read Japanese but looking at the pictures showcasing the "Personal" section it looks like every character is gong to have some sort of Item Creation ability! That rocks. The red lady look cool too.

Not every character has a IC ability, but different characters will have different IC abilities yes. Writing, forging, cooking, etc. Some characters also have Character Skills, it's not fully explained yet but they're character traits that probably have certain uses in different situations. Characters also have personalities that are listed on the profile screens. This means that in certain circumstances they are more proficient, like Gustav referring to be in a party with Aya, and Eduardo preferring to be a leader when he's in a subparty because of his leadership skills.

Ugh, I'm playing SO2 right now and I really want to fug with this new IC system they've got going for IU.
Seriously, Square and Namco should have gotten together and planned on separating the release of these two RPGs. Having them both come out within a week of each other on the same system is seriously unfair to those of us who are anticipating them both with equal excitement.
I hope they will rethink their release strategy next time. I am sooo torn on which one to play first

only thing i ask is that they figure out a way to lock into the enemy, so you can strafe around them and back up ...
this last-gen walk back and turn around crap should be banned now ... it was technically unacceptable after zelda 64 had the lock-on mechanism ... that game is like 10 years old now ...
bad controls/movement mechanism can ruin a game completely ... square seems to be very good at bad controls...
i couldn't play ff xii for one year after i found out you couldn't inverse the camera stick (made it really unintuitive for me)... after a bit of a break i had to spend multiple hours training myself to think differently everytime i touched the right stick...
oh yeah i believe vesperia has the same lack of lock on issue (you have to run in the opposite direction before you can turn around and start attacking again)

Just this...

That seems to be how Square Enix does their marketing these days unfortunately. VP DS is coming out in October and there hasn't been a single gameplay trailer yet, Last Remnant is coming out in Nov and we don't really know many real details about the gameplay either. Recent S-E games are no different, Crisis Core, Sigma Harmonics...

Man, I so agree. Enough of this Vesperia bitching--I want it too. I want both of these. I wait forever to get my hands on one of them, and they both come out almost at the same time...blllaaahhh.

if i'm not mistaken IU runs at 30fps while SO4 runs at 60fps
I've never played FFXI, or any other MMO for that matter.Rimshot said:
That particular shot isn't exactly a graphical showcase and that isn't what interests me about it. I like it because of how barren and desolate the town seems along with the billowing clouds/mist/fog/smoke in the bg in contrast to the sky. Nice change up from the towns and fields we've seen so far.
Last time I responded to this question (in an older thread) I was greeted with a snide remark. We'll see...Gizmo_Monkey said:
I'm kinda glad they aren't showing too many gameplay videos,I had my lesson with LO,where i probably had seen all of disk 1 almost by the time the game realeased...just one more month before it ships,and that's usually when i start my media blackout(for video's) from now on.As for the FPS,all i'm asking is a rock solid 30 FPS and i'll be happy.

From what I've read, its 30fps and the reason for this is due to the seamless battles. Star Ocean 4 on the other hand is supposedly aimed to be 30fps Overworld 60fps Battle Area.

Any info on online aspects for the game?

I'm half excited for this game and half worried. Reason why I'm excited is that it looks fantastic, I'm just through Lost Odyssey and need a new epic after I'll next play Blue Dragon.
The reason why I'm worried is the real-time mechanic. I like my RPGs turn based, the FFVII Crisis Core thing doesn't really work as well for me as it feels just reactionary. What would be some more assuring examples of IU mechanic? I've played Mass Effect and Secret of Mana for example.

I am pretty confident that this game will deliver an amazing jrpg -experience. I'm almost through Lost Odyssey now ( which, by the way, is a masterpiece ), and as such the release of Infinite Undiscovery is already pleasantly close. If I need to close the gap, I will probably buy Blue Dragon ( which I haven't played yet, unfortunately ).
It basically plays like the newer Tales games, only it doesn't cut to a different screen for the actual fight. You can perform simple attacks, combos, special moves, and call on your allies for help. Your allies will fight and aid on their own, and their AI seems pretty good from the little I played. It works better than Tales and the like since there's no transition between wandering and fighting. Just don't expect it to be Devil May Cry.Chittagong said:
Same concerns here. Waiting for the game a long time, but this real time battling thing looks .... scary (if it actually IS reactionary).Chittagong said:
We'll find out in the demo i guess ....
EDIT:
So my worries are real ...Aaron said:
Vesperia has an awful battling system IMHO. Sometimes you die and the rest of the party wins by ... themself and the whole thing rests on your reactions. Eternal Sonata's battle system was way better IMHO (too easy though - but that's fixable)

The only best example is Star Ocean 3. Think of a 3D Beat-em-up or something. Your fully in control in the main character while your AI controlled party members use skills you set for them.
Probably closest, in your example, to Secret of Mana but 1) You have more skillsets and 2) you have 3 other people with you (I believe thats the amount?)
icecream said:
Ahh ok. I could have sworn I read about IU being 30fps but I guess I'm mistaken. Hopefully its higher than that, I would be pleasantly surprised.
