OPINION:

 "The more the merrier"

I've been waiting ages for a nice long rpg to bite into. It seems like nowadays games are getting way way to short for my taste.  RPG's in general use to takes weeks or months back in the days (Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 7/8), but now most console games can be completed with one rental which is dissapointing. Metroid Prime 3/Heavenly Sword, im looking at you. So im looking foward to this game even tho we might not get it until late 2008.
