Jesus christ why has this taken so long? Are they adding anything new to the game?
They're adding tons and tons of content for the US version. Way more than what was in the Japanese release, anyway.

BTW the voices are actually pretty solid overall; they chose some really dull clips for the trailer.

I totally get the pessimism, especially after it's been delayed this long, but I do think people will be pleasantly surprised at the US version when it finally hits. If nothing else, I can at least say it's a lot better than the Japanese version.

Good to hear that. I've always loved how Level 5 games have truckloads of stuff to do. Being able to take that online and play along with a party of friends still has me hyped.
 
Looks good.

I don't care how much it's delayed if the product is all the better for it in the end, but I play video games and not awkward message board hype.

Yeah, but it might be a "lipstick on a pig" situation. I didn't like Rogue Galaxy, despite the fact that it was supposedly a huge improvement over the Japanese release.
 
Man I was so hyped for this game...but releasing it next to FFXIII is the worst thing it has going for it. Maybe I'll get it when it drops in price.....

This game will likely be out in February/March, while FFXIII will likely come out in June. Plenty of time.

And how would you happen to know all of that good sir? Did you guys work on the translation for this?

It's ok if you can't say, I understand KAYYYYYYY! :D

They're both "Spring 2010". If there's a 4 month gap then I might get it but if it's 1-2 months.....might as well wait for FFXIII.

Edit: Also yeah old trailer looks better than new trailer.
 
Well... I finished this game Jan this year already. But I have to say, the online stuff they added afterwards is pretty consistant. I am assuming all of it will be on the NA/EU version.

After they annouced 2nd wave DLC (it's suppose to be huge and you'll be able to create you own version of the game world + even more customization oppotunity) I wanted to take a look at the game again but couldn't find my copy untill last week. I popped in, updated, and guess what... 20 new quests was waiting for me. I think i stopped playing it online some times during march. They also made the whole thing less grindy, I heard item dropr ate has been significantly increased too. Looks like they are gearing this a lot toward the western market.

Hehah :) Yep, we translated the entire thing. SCEA took care of the voice recording tho (same as with Rogue Galaxy and Jeanne d'Arc).

Some of the new content is pretty exciting -- that Georama stuff they announced a couple of weeks ago is gonna be rad.

You guys do great work so this is good to hear. Now get crackin' on Vesperia PS3, I need it badly and I can't dedicate the time to learn japanese right now.

Use your great powers of influence to make Namco bring it over, I'm counting on you guys to do it KAYYYYY!?!
 
I wish this game looked like it did in the first trailer.
I'm not a fan of character customizations/creation.
I have a feeling customization played a role in the overall look of the game.

You are correct.
 
I hope the lip-sync is being worked on because it's horrible to non-existant in this trailer.

Otherwise it looks pretty solid, nothing spectacular but should be decent fun!

Lip-sync sucked in the Japanese version as well so, it'll be the same!

I really hope all this stuff they wanted to add is good because the release version of the game here in Japan is awful.
 
Looked pretty good. The music sounded so familiar, and then I realized I watched a Chrono Cross trailer that had similar music a long while back.

Music was great.

A main character with amnesia is not terribly inciting. How where the reports on the story?

Yeah I don't think people will buy this for the story. I know I sure as hell won't. I'm actually glad they kept it simple. I just want to dungeon crawl by myself and with a couple of friends of mine.

Wait, it's going to be a Dark Cloud-esque dungeon crawler?

Well, that drops it off my radar...

no
story mode is standard rpg fare i believe

but u can take ur customized character online and do quests with friends
 
When this was first shown all those years ago I was hoping and praying it was a Zelda clone.

When I heard it was an RPG I was disappointed but still interested.

After seeing the trailer, I have pretty much lost interest. Shame they couldnt keep me hooked

I'm still a little wary about real-time combat, though, to be honest. I'll admit, I prefer my RPGs to be menu-based, though I did enjoy Tales of Symphonia.
 
Wow, well that was a shitty trailer. :lol

Games like these are (in my opinion) why the JRPG is struggling this gen. They're not trying at all.
 
Im still excited about WKC. It doesnt look as good as some of the other games coming out this fall for the PS3 but I like RPG's and I like what Ive seen and read about the online portion of the game. As long as it doesnt release within about a month of FF13 I'll be there with cash in hand.
 
I've been losing interest for this game for quite some time, but for some reason, some of my friends is still really hyped for this. I think I'll probably get it just so we can have solid co-op team.
