are you also on Neogaf? that sounds like the kinda thing they would say.

We'll all get to judge it soon enough......probably......maybe.......

No. He's negative about most things.

Hence the reason it got RPG of the event and the people's choice award. A great sign.

I'll just wait for LoD's opinion.

Who are those people disliked the game? Curiously.

How many other RPGs were on show? lol

Thats half rhetorical, half actually asking. I can't think of any big ones

I'm positive about a lot of things but those arent talked about because they aren't popular. Not my fault that mainstream taste is apparently mostly shit.

The only mainstream FF opinion I can get behind is that FFIX is great. Then again it's usually mentioned after the god awful numbers 6 and 7. If the same people who love the boring FFs also love this one, why should I not be skeptical?

Not that I need their opinions, since looking at the cast and combat system it's easily apparent how bad it's gonna be.

I remember everyone I knew loved the FFXII demo that came with DQVIII (PS2). It was this amazing beach scene and there was zero grinding. They gave you the characters overpowered and with a lot of stuff you weren't really going to have at that point in the actual game, at least not on your first "blind" playthrough. The game felt likee a very fast "action-rpg" like Diablo with your characters melting the enemies left and right. The demo even had a Boss at the end so you could go wild with the summons. It was very fun to play.

Then the game came out and I was the only one who kind of liked it among my peers. That beach scene ended up being pointless, with very little to do. But it was the grind that killed the game for most, I think. The Demo felt a bit misleading by comparison and I guess "controlled" is a great word for it. Anecdotal evidence I know, but this was before Youtube.

Great news!

Reviews are obviously more important but good to see positive user feedback.

have you played kingdom hearts? If you habe did you like it?
