Game looks gorgeous

Teo, I actually agree with you on the importance of XBC vs. Star Ocean 4, but for reasons I don't think you will agree with. Star Ocean 4 was shit as far as story and voice acting go, awful rubbish really. It is one of the examples people use as why JRPGs are dying. XBC has a compelling story, and the voice acting is refreshingly decent. Also, with its open world it lends a sense of discovery missing from RPGs for far too long.

One final note. I stated that I didn't like Star Ocean 4's story or voice acting, I still love that game for reasons I don't really even understand. Also, these are my opinions, not facts, so take them as you will.

Ok, a real final note, thinking about it, the inclusion of the Heropon in this game makes it the best RPG since Mario RPG, and that's a FACT-PON!
