I hate it when reviewers and hardcore gamers put so much emphasis on graphics. NIS is a tiny company what the hell did you expect? The graphics are good enough for a JRPG. Maybe this JRPG is rubbish, but IGN gave a terrible review for Disgaea 3 just because of its graphics.
People, like reaver_x, saying NIS should be shut down don't know what they are talking about.
