Meant to post here last night, accidentally posted in the WKC2 thread...
I want to buy another RPG, but I don't know if I want this, Demon's Souls or 3D Dot Game Heroes. I've read and watched some reviews on WKC and they seem to put a lot of emphasis on the single-player campaign being quite predictable and eventually redundant, but I couldn't help but think that had this been a Final Fantasy, or at the very least, Square-Enix title, that it would have got a better review.
I really like what appears to be the open-world nature of this game. After playing FFXIII, which I did enjoy, I want something with an open world. Online quests look really fun. But is the single-player portion as mediocre as reviews suggest?
As for the story... well, it's a JRPG. Seems like typical "save the Princess" fare which is fine by me.
What about the battle system? Is it more akin to say, gambits, or are you executing things on the field as you battle?
