IU is a MGS funded game, so sorry, no go on that one. I want to check out a demo before I totally commit to this game though. I keep getting all these SE/Tri Ace games mixed up due to the use of the same aesthetic
(IU, LR, SO4 all seem like one big ball of real time combat JRPGs)Speaking of Tri-Ace, however, I think its safe to say that once the exclusivity window is up and they finish getting the engine up and running on PS3, that we'll see Star Ocean 4 be multiplatform. They'd lose too much in Japan otherwise...
Either way, PS360 is the way to go this gen

Real-time combat = no buy for me, unless the developers are doing something really, really different. Which they don't seem to be.

why is ps360 the way to go this gen, for jrpgs? I mean.. if its coming to 360 why is owning a ps3 helpful?
not saying ps3 is bad but.. jrpg wise it doesn't have a leg to stand on right now and it getting a game already on 360 'maybe' doesn't really sway either.
Ps3 is more for littlebigplanet

Seamless is definitely a good step, but aside from Mount & Blade and some bits of the Tales games, I have yet to experience a single game that's pulled off real-time combat that can compare to good turn-based/pausable real-time systems. This game seems to be making all of the traditional mistakes, based on the information I've seen. Vague and indirect party control (that will rely heavily on AI--something RPG developers can almost never get right), a focus on combos (which, paradoxically, makes combat more shallow), and lots of subsystems that will make it impossible to properly fine-tune and balance combat encounters.thetrin said:
Of course this is all theoretical for now, and maybe the game will put to rest all of my concerns, but at the moment I don't think it will.

He didn't say anything about JRPGs. He said it was the way to go this gen.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Last Remnant look better to me. Hmm. I need more videos for IU.

I don't know where this video derives from, but the one placed at Gamestop's page (and probably many others) is pretty awesome.
Yeah, for real. Mirche/Michelle has the most revealing outfit so far, and it's barely revealing at all. They're pretty much all dressed as though they were, you know, on the move a lot.fartblast said:
Also, I enjoy that Aya looks like she could actually use a bow without snapping her arms right off. She's not giant, by any means, but she looks a little bit thicker than your average JRPG heroines.
Really, the only design(s) I don't like are the little kids. Something about their faces just throws me off -- especially the boy.

I'm about to replay Star Ocean 3 and god, its going to feel marvelous going to an HD nearly non jaggy better version of it :3
Oh and look at the lower left corner. A pen, paper and music note YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYMan, I can't decide if I should get this or not. If I should get the tales game instead, or just simply skip the both of them. The last years I have been really hyped over some rpg's and even bought them on day 1, yet hardly played any of them more then a couple of hours. Guess I want to still be into these things, but can't :/
Characters seem to belong to this gen of consoles, but environments looks kinda last gen to me :/ Still no grass, just a green moss texture. (for example)
(Wants Uncharted 2 nao!)

Agreed. I blame UE3... you can get some nice effects with that engine, but if not totally optimized, you see some rough edges (and I don't just mean graphically). LO had some framerate issues to go along with the world's thickest eyebrows...
Also, I hope Epic gave SE the build of UE3 they used on UTIII because I fear for the performance of that game if they didn't. UTIII was by far the best implementation of that engine on PS3 so far. Probably the reason for the delays as well, more so than any moneyhat.
As for my earlier comment, yeah, I meant PS360 is the way to go for gaming overall this generation, but if you play JRPGs, you have to own a 360 right now. Its ridiculous the amount of solid games incoming in that genre.

Looks amazing. I'm actually beginning to think that this game can not fail.

I am anxiously awaiting this game now. The screens look great. I thought Lost Odyssey was good but I didn't really like the art style.
Like the hat?

Mistwalker should've chosen/made their own engine for LO as the did for Blue Dragon, UE3 isn't an optimized engine yet, i think/know that EPIC can take the best of UE3, but that doesn't apply to third party companies.
IU looks amazing, i'm really hyped about it and i have the feeling that it won't let me down, it's my most anticipated JRPG nowadays, and it's sooooo close than days seems to be as long as weeks, and weeks as long as months, heh
you can call me a Tri-Ace fanboy, but man, Radiata Stories is my favourite (A)RPG, so i expect great things from these guys

Best RPG of next gen is a worthy title for it.
This week's Famitsu has a 2 page article showing off 3 characters (only 1 is a party member though) as well as some stuff we didn't know about before:
- Privite Events are in! When PEs happen between the main character and a party member, there are dialogue options and stuff just like in the SO games!
- Party Connects in towns and villages! When in a town or village Capel can Connect with a party member like he does in battle, allowing the player to bring that party member along with Capel around the village to interact with people (and animals) to get results that he would not get alone!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! tri-Ace :bow :bow!

My hype for this has officially gone quite a bit beyond any game this year.
