I wouldn't bet on that the asia version will be region free, like Blue Dragon wasn't either.

Apparently there was an event yesterday where bloggers were invited to check out LO. Here are some stats.
From starting a new game to getting into the first battle: 10 minutes
From starting a new game to getting to the title logo: 42 minutes
(In this entire intro process, you cannot save the game)
Initial loading time when you start a new game: 20 seconds
Loading a save game: 3 seconds
Saving a game (pressing A at a save point, going through the menus, etc, and getting back to the field): 14 seconds
Random Encounter (from the point of the transition up until the menu appears): 12 seconds
After an encounter (returning to the field): 6 seconds
There are three types of loading in the game -
Short loads: 2 seconds
Normal loads: 5 seconds
Long loads: 15 seconds
In normal and short loads, you just seeing the Now Loading text at the bottom left of a black screen. In long loads, character design art appears in the middle of the screen. This seems identical to how Blue Dragon handles it.
Overall the game itself feels very traditional, but the customization systems make it rather interesting. Normal enemy encounters are pretty easy, but the boss is pretty tough.

Either they count really fast or the transition is twice as slow as it was in September at TGS? I count eoughly 6 maybe 7 seconds from the point of the initial encounter to when the menus pop up.
Edit: Also isn't the enemy with the shadowy face, shell helmet, and leaf on his head from this video http://youtube.com/watch?v=q7fPxQDWzYc in Blue Dragon
?

Even the demo released with Famitsu Weekly last year had 6-7 second time difference between the encounter and menus appearing. It's kind of hard to believe that they went backwards in development with a year left, especially when Sakaguchi said they were tightening up load times several months back. But I guess the inexperience of Feel Plus could be a factor?
Edit: Took out an actual watch:
The video here: http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_3494_en.html random encounters are between 8-9 seconds.

I watched same vids and I make both battles to be 4-5 secs,or do you consider loading time until you take control of your character ? (to me thats not loading time)
Jinko said:
Thats still considered loading time. It may be less boring to look at then a black screen but you're still not in control.
Also, DuckRoll. What did you use to do your timings? Using my watch, I came up with times that were typically 1-3 seconds shorter then yours.
Bah doesn't matter, still a long time for random encounters
Fact of the matter is that a loading time is not part of the character animation before a battle, pretty much all tun based JRPG's have these sort of things, regardless of random battles.
So as long as you are used to JRPG's and how the battle is set up, I don't considered it that long in my opinion.
Seems people will complain about the smallest thing though, just to draw attention to themselves

All the complaints about how many seconds this and that takes don't really bother me since when i watch the video of the game play it looks just fine.
