oh im playing it now.
You might need to go to the Warriors Honor in Virtus Parish and start a quest there.. there are two guys (and I think one of them is gay) talk to them to get info.
Look around this bar there are several new NPCs with quests you should do.. the first being this lady
As for the game.. Well I wasn't too keen on it at first but its starting to grow on me.. I think if you like Lost Odyssey you would probably like this too.
The battles.. .(you know in LO when you have to time the ring RT to get a perfect to do critical attack) well that is in here but its much trickier as you might have to perfectly time a button press that could appear on: ( X, Y, A, B, RT) ..
The game is deceptively very old skool..but with "current gen" graphics.. even though their is slowdown it seems as though its done on purpose.. there are cut scenes that have hundreds of characters onscreen and it barely slows down yet there are scenes where even with just a few characters the framerate stutters.. it also stutters a lot in battle when there is a lot of characters loading up/appearing on screen and I think this is due to data loading up.. even via HDD.
Texture pop up is typical of the unreal engine and even with the install its still noticable.. infact the only benefit you will gain with the HDD install is increased loading and quieter 360.. Playing TLR normally well this is one of those games that puts the dvd drive into rocket overdrive (like Mass Effect, Fable 2 etc)
The main character.. Rush Sykes I find really annoying but i suppose he's gonna grow into a better person as the story progresses... and the way he runs.. Its like a little japanese guy in a Western body... >.> well.. I guess you have to see it yourself..
His voice along with David and Emma take some time getting used too especially since David talks with an english cockney accent.. >.>
Again.. this is starting to grow on me despite the faults... and as mentioned this will appeal to the old skool / Lost Odyssey crowd. It will confuse you at first especially the battle but later on I can tell they are gonna be a blast despite the turn based system. The buttom timing thing that seems to randomly appear during physical attacks adds to that "keeps you on your toes" feel.
Oh one last thing a bonus is that you can save your data almost anytime except during battles.
