My impressions so far
- Combat is really fun and probably the best so far in this generation of jRPGs
- The lead character is alright in personality. Not someone I will be constantly pissed off at like Squall.
- The item creation system seems much more user-friendly than SO3 right now. Also, healing items are much more reasonably priced.
- The color palette is awesome. Environments are beautiful.
- Voice acting is not the best, but it's bearable. As an anime fan, I've seen better as well as worse.
- The story is good enough to keep me interested
- Character modeling is about PS2 level for NPC characters. Not great for playable characters either.
- The native resolution SUCKS if you are playing on an HDTV. It is VERY noticeable that it is sub-HD resolution.
That's about it so far.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
