hope those guys who still buy it will enjoy it - doesn't look like a bad game at all, although it seems to have some faults

but one thing really got to me "The voice acting offers only English dubbing" .. ugh... to me that would be a hard pill to swallow (judging by the videos I've seen of the english version)

 

The english dub only is a pretty big negative for me, but I pre-ordered anyway. The comments about how linear it is and the whiny persona of the main character make me think "Oh god, not Tidus and FFX and that pile of crap again", but the rest of his commentary about the story and gameplay were pretty positive.

This tidbit - "In fact, there are 18 characters you'll be micromanaging during the course of this fairly brief adventure" - is a huge plus for me, since I do in fact enjoy the managing aspect of my characters, and I like large character casts (like FFVI, which had an awesomely huge cast).

I didn't see any real complaints about combat or gameplay, mostly just story/game length, and since party management is a plus for me and not a negative, I don't think I'll regret my preorder :)

Yes, but the characters in FFVI were fleshed out.  One of the negatives of the IU review was that some of the characters didn't fell very important in the story

 

 

 Not all the FFVI characters were as fleshed out as the core 10-12 chars or so.  Umaro? Gau? Gogo? Mog?
