Yeah yeah..... It's like if they wanted to follow the western-games trend of making bald protagonists... right?-_-!

Anyway.. I loved the art in Drakengard 1 & 2. So yeah, I'm in love with the art in this game too.:D

The game looks REALLY GOOD in those scans, I just hope that the combat system will be fun.

Wow, Last Story looks spectacular, it's almost as if Nintendo gave Mistwalker some Pikmin dust to sprinkle all over it.

No, he has a good point there.

Personally, I sort of see where the artist was heading with her, and the stoking/thigh-high boot hybrid. Just wish the shoes looked a tad bit more practical, but I am assuming there is a story behind her not being in proper battle gear.

Looks pretty cool.

Like pretty much all RPGs however, I'm more interested in how it plays.

Hear, hear.

I am actually becoming as worried about the battle system as Cosmic.

judging by one of the cutscene shots in the scan, it seems Kanan is at some kind of ball, where her current attire would be appropriate. personally, I prefer here original outfit (the one with the tiger)

I've been worried about the battle the whole time, though from what we know it seems at the very least interesting. It probably won't turn out to be my ideal battle system but I'm looking forward to what it is regardless.

I dont know if its because ive been watching the xenoblade trailers but the environments in the screens look like theyve taken a hit to make the characters more detailed or something.

Why did they have to pick blue for her nice looking dress? It stands out so much. The plain white looked much nicer in the art.

Yeah, that made me sad too.

Although, it seems like she was wearing two different dresses in the scans, so perhaps we can change their clothing?

Shame that they could not to a better job realizing the art.

Looks excellent but I'm still wary about the battle system. I can't get my hopes up just yet that this will be a spiritual successor to FF.

Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were his "spiritual successor" to FF, this is going to be something different. Whether that's a good thing, well I can't say I wasn't skeptical about that for a while now, especially if the developer is Artoon.

It looks kind of interesting though, looks like these countdowns will be a key part of the battle system, Elza was distracting the enemies while Jackal was casting a spell on the bottom of the second page there. It just makes me wish this was turn-based or time-based though (something like Grandia), since I would rather have Elza distract the enemy and still cast those spells my-self instead of letting the AI do most, if not all, of them.

With a name like Last Story, I don't think he's given up on making a spiritual successor. This will probably be his last chance and I'm not ruling out the possibility of it capturing the magic of FF.

If it's something different, that's fine too. Like you, I would prefer it to be turn/time-based but I won't write it off until I know more about it. I'm just really worried that the A.I. and free movement is going to cause it to resemble FF12 but with some other form of A.I. control taking the place of gambits, a game I despise.

I think he just likes these types of titles, Story is more related to Odyssey than Fantasy.

Does the girl's proportions in the art seem really screwed up to anyone else? Like, her stomach seems twice or three times as long as it should be. Or she's just freakishly tall.

This game could capture the magic!

But I don't think it will sell as well as FF, but for me yes it could make me love it like a FF, since I love every main FF game ever made!

That balcony scan reminds me of FF8!!

A name does not indicate a desire for "spiritual successor". That is a result of fans imposing their own desires onto his works.

I´ve got to admit, I hate it when a female character looks TOO hot, as it is the case with Kanan here. Cant concentrate on the game, then, and feel jealous of the main character :/

But besides all that, I really am excited about how well and lively the real in-game town translates from all the info we got so far. Hope there´s a lot of interaction going on.

It isn't just the name. The logo is also reminiscent of FF. Hey, I may be completely off and it could be unintentional but that's how I've interpreted it.

Not to mention the roman numerals on the clock in the logo after X are blocked out. There's no way that isn't intentional.:lol

Yeah, it definitely seems that there are intentional references/digs, but probably not indicative of a 'spiritual successor.'

At least not from the info we know so far, this may change as we learn more.

So was Xenoblade, but since MonolithSoft did make Xenosaga it still looks and sounds a lot like those games than this does Final Fantasy I-X.

If it is a spiritual successor then let's hope it'll end up as Final Fantasy's Bayonetta.

They already confirmed it isn't when they said it's an action RPG, these new gamplay details only add to that.

Holy shit you are right. And it's on purpose because her arms and hip are freakishly long too.

Don't make the same mistake I did; take the artwork down... =)

Oh, and her proportions are fine. Again I think people are misinterpreting the "brown shorts" when they are just really high boots. And it's just because she is so slender that people are thinking her arms are long, considering it goes about halfway down her thigh (try seeing where your arms reach and you'll see what I mean...)

Yeah, it's the top of the boot folded back down.
