My cousin bought it today and I got it today via gamefly and so far being lv 10 I am enjoying the game. Just to give some background my cousin and I are hardcore jrpg fans from the snes days and some genesis playing the lights of lufia,ff,bof and many others. So far we really enjoy it and hope it stays that way. Funny thing is most bad reviews I seen complain mainly about the story and lack of innovation (there goes that word again) but almost all gave the battle system to be fairly good which so far has proven to be true. Again only lv 10 and so far the story is decent and the fighting has been good especially since I am trying to beat it without grinding by relying more on strategy then brute force. Only wish they allowed you to pick hard from the start as the only rpg I have ever played again was chrono trigger due to the +game. I am hoping it sells well though mainly so that more jrpg are made as my cousin and I enjoy them.

I think it should be able to sell at least 500,000 worldwide. It's done nearly 200k in Japan already, so EU and NA should be able to fill the gap no problem.

Games you and your cousin should look forward to: Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Cry On, and Infinite Undiscovery. If you like Square Enix, also look out for The Last Remanent.
