This does indeed look incredible. Brings back a lot of the charm and wonder from classic JRPGs but still innovates on many levels and pushed forward. I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli films and this game will have a lot of family charm with a lot of heart and soul too. I can't wait to play this title. It seems to have been ages since we have gotten a good JRPG. This and Persona 4 Golden are filling that void many of us have had for a while now.
What does the review say? Like I mean, the words and stuff.
The article has some clips I guess: -Epic, enthralling adventure that’s brimming with character -Gorgeoulsy unique and magical title that conjuers the wonder and joy of a kid’s cartoon, while delivering the sort of hands-on depth to satify even the most seasoned of Final Fantasy fans -Challenging battles early on, ”hard as nails” boss fights -Unusual battle system fuses real-time and turn based components into speedy and fiercely tactical bouts of combat.
Level-5 is expressing interest in basing their possible next game with Studio Ghibli on one of their previews titles. I'm hoping they lightly base it on Laputa: Castle in the Sky, or Spirited Away. I'm really excited at the thought of this!!!
I know this game will be fantastic.. I cant wait to play it & Tales of Xillia when they come out.. This gen has been deprived of jrpgs & ive been waiting a very long time for a good one
I know this game will be amazing and as a day one supporter, I hope this game does well enough to get the developer and publisher to localize more games. I would also love to see them do Dark Cloud 3 or at least an HD remake for the PS3 and/or Vita.
I also hope for a digital release for this game, I pre-ordered the retail version for the steal case, but I would like to know I can have it on my hard drive at all times. I doubt it, because I don't think Japan got a digital release, but they could, right?
Level 5 hasn't made any amazing games. Everything has been really average. I put 120 hours into White Knight Chronicles 2, and while it was one of the better RPGs for consoles this gen, that's because every other RPG sucked. Dragon Quest 8 was the best Level 5 game and it's not really a Level 5 game. It's more of a collaboration.
Rogue Galaxy is had beautiful landscapes although the draw distance is absolutely terrible. It's the combat and poor camera system that keep this game from realizing its potential. The combat feels as if it couldn't be a more generic hack and slash. It's like they took the Dark Cloud gameplay and made it worse, and that's how they came up with Rogue Galaxy.
Dark Cloud 1 and 2 are probably the best Level 5 games. They're good games, but I wouldn't say they're amazing.
Who knows though. There's the possibility that this could be an amazing game. Yasumi Matsuno only worked at Level 5 for a short while, but who knows. Maybe he could have gave Level 5 his input and they came out with an amazing game because of him?

Between this and Persona 4 Golden that I'm playing now, my JRPG fix will be taken care of for the immediate future.
Edit: corrected spelling
Did anyone play Rogue Galaxy?

If this game is successful (which i hope it will be) i wish Level-5 & Studio Ghibli collaborate on another game.
I strongly suspect certain Japanophobic sections of the Western media will gleefully nitpick it to death, but that's to be expected.
I also hope for a digital release for this game, I pre-ordered the retail version for the steal case, but I would like to know I can have it on my hard drive at all times. I doubt it, because I don't think Japan got a digital release, but they could, right?

I love Studio Ghibili.. Princess Mononoke is one of my favorite anime movies of all time!
