I'm at the middle of chapter 5 and what a great experience this is. They really need to keep that IP, it could be a huge success in the west with the right marketing, hopefully people won't ignore this game just because it's a new IP.
Had 0 framerate problem so far on 360, got some bug on voice recognition, game stopped detecting my mic in the middle of the game, had to reboot the console to fix this, and sometimes the game seems to pick random english words from background noise from my TV so Dan talks sometimes without me saying anything, feels like japanese recognition works way better but maybe it's my shitty english accent.
Boss battles are awesome, there's always a trick to down them, Story is good so far but quite simple(it's not a RPG after all), i really love the voice acting of every character so far but Faye (she doesn't sound chinese enough...), they all sound so unique and it's always fun to listen to all those accents.
Anyway, it's a great game and will certainly close the mouths of those saying japanese can't develop games anymore, buy it guys!
