Based on what you guys know, would this be a suitable first JRPG for someone who has never played one before?

Also, any news on a Euro releasedate?

New info in Chinese Famitsu... D: can't read it though...

I could, but I'm too lazy to look for a scan of it online. Plus work has blocked a lot of gaming sites in the last week.

She's called Amanda. Sounds pretty nasty. :lol (Her voice not the name. :lol )

Graphically very underwhelming IMO. Which is sad because L5 are one of those few j-devs who can consistently make great looking games for their platform.

since no one's responded, i guess I'll put a GAF WKC club together in Home tonight if it doesn't cost anything/much.

Clubs are region free unlike the homesquare/common areas right?

I think they cost $4.99, and are regionless.

I'll judge that when I play it on my TV.

I guess when you consider it piece by piece to other games, yeah. But when you take into account that the game is has large open environments to explore with seamless battles, character customization, and online integration, then WKC is doing a lot of stuff that many Japanese devs won't even consider. I mean, there are still a ton of Japanese RPGs that don't have visible equipment on your characters yet.

So with my new interest in importing jRPG would GAF suggest I wait it out for the NA localized version or just go ahead and buy JPN?

God I love Level5

I suggest waiting for NA version. If you don't have a decent knowledge of japanese, you won't know what is going on.

So I don't want to sound dumb but is there a date for NA? and is the JPN release gonna have english subtitles?

The NA version will likely come out by spring, so March/April since localization is already under way. I doubt the Japanese version has English subs.

God I see so much potential with this IP. All Sony has to do is refine a few concepts, pretty up the graphics, and bundle the fuck out of this and FFXIII.

There was an article just posted from a website that shall not be named that showed an increase of sells of PS3s from a week ago with WKC being in it's second week. If that is confusing, it means, WKC wasn't a "one week wonder" and it might have some legs to it, like monster hunter or mario kart.

I hope it comes out in the States soon, I want to try it out.
