I didn't like Xenogears or Xenosaga (even though I know there's zero relation) and I didn't like Final Fantasy XII (yeaaah, now I know I'm digging my grave here), so that on top of importing and modding (yes, I know both are easy) I'm just waiting on it at the moment.Aeana said:
I will get to play it though, somebody I know is buying it. Although when I can actually see this person in a capacity that I would be able to sit down and give the game a spin is a very dark and cloudy question. By the end of September maybe?
I will be honest, I'm probably lurking in this thread simply because the exictement and impressions are getting infectuous and it may help me just take a blind leap of faith on it.

Something else that I like that I forgot to mention - the fact that if you die during a boss battle, the game still just sends you back to the nearest marker so you don't have to watch or even skip the pre-battle cutscenes (unless it's part of a larger set piece).

Do you plan to post more or less once you have the game?

Less. But I'll come here when I have a question on something, I'm sure someone can help me.
Is that a good thing? Haha.

Why would I not? I've loved all the screens and videos of it. What little I played of the Japanese import. Unless it gets brutally hard during the game, or story gets stupid, but I don't think this game has that.
Sure it might be hard at times, but this is no Demon Souls.

Quick question for Aeana, can you max out the affinity stuff between NPCs all together or do you build on it as the story progresses?

I've had so many problems grasping the English tutorials, nevermind if they were in moonspeak.

Must have been seen with the Monado, thankfully the future can be changed.
Suddenly found myself 7 hours in, still in the first area. There are quite a few quests, which not entirely original, are a decent enough distraction. One thing I really like is the affinity chart thing, linking all the relationships between the npcs lucky enough to get a name. Got 3/5 stars so far on Colony 9's Affinity.
Oh those small ball guys are adorable.

Anyone in the USA that ordered from GAME, can you please tell us your experience when the game arrives? i.e. How fast was the shipping, any problems with customs or whatever, any issues with GAME processing your payment, damage in transport, etc.? I really, really want this game, but I'm nervous to import.

Can you link them all straight away or do you need to let the story progress for the affinity to go up?Reknoc said:

I would LOVE to answer that, but I'm drawing a blank on it right now, it was SO long ago and I don't think I played any more then five or so hours of it.. if that. I still have the demo that came with Dragon Quest VIII, so I could probably run through that to see if it sparks anything.Aeana said:
I'm guessing that the comparisons are solely aimed at the battle systems of the two games?
BocoDragon

More like the open world-ness of both games. Although there are similarities in the battle systems in that they both happen in real time on the field.Princess Skittles said:
I think it would be sad if someone was opposed of the idea of an open world in an RPG in general (it's the antithesis of everything XIII was criticized for), but there are different ways to lead the player into it than XII did, which may be more or less palatable to the individual gamer.
