Some guy in Japan got it a day early, and you can watch him playing the game here:

You'll get a nice glimpse of the gameplay and the environments, but you shouldn't get hit by too many spoilers unless you're fluent in Japanese

The first thing I thought was....Rogue galaxy!!

Did you see the overworld?? wtf...

Yeah, the save points especially remind me of Rogue Galaxy.

Hopefully I'll like the game a lot more than Rogue Galaxy. Rogue Galaxy's non-existent story, random encounters, and sometimes brutal save points (the jail? my gosh!) made the game a bit troublesome to get through for me. I still haven't finished it, and I may never.

Some positives I've noticed:

• Fluid animations, especially during combat with the combos.
• Very little loading.

So let me get this straight about the combat:
You can set moves (7 of them) below in the bar..
Your circle thingy will fill up & you choose your attack from them? is that right?

People are really interested in this vid he? It had 480k views when I watched it and now it is around 650k


EDIT:  THOS ARE VIEWERS WHO ARE WATCHING IT NOW o_O.

Hmmm... turning into the White Knight was... IMO.. not very amazing...
