I have not got around to buying this yet, as I'm playing Ninja Gaiden 2 ATM. But this game really looks amazing to me. My gamestop is sold out (they don't even have a display case). I think it was undershipped.

Still, from what I have seen, I have to put Lost Oddyssey above it. LO is, IMO, the best JRPG released this gen. I'm not including the DS, of course.

This game looks like a solid #2 though behind LO.

 

Yeah, a lot of people hold LO in high esteem. I'm not one, but I respect those opinions.

Anyway, yeah, the game is relatively hard to find. I had to go to three gamestops to get it. If you think this game is significantly worse than LO, I think you might be in for a pleasant surprise. Especially if you're an anime fan.

Actually, I don't think it's really worse than LO at all. It's just that LO's style fits my JRPG tastes more than ToV does. I like the art-style LO a lot. Because of that, I'd say it's visualy better, though ToV is pretty amazing looking too. And I love turn-based stuff lol.

I would say that ToV just offers a different JRPG experience than LO and it does what it does just as well. I just like LO's style more. That might change though when I buy ToV. For all I know, it could end up being my 2fav JRPG(nothing can top my 1st).
