ok now im concerned. not about the banana peels that sound like silly fun but the whole MMORPG thing that is the only genre of game that I HATE. I could just never get into them. THats what killed FF12 for me, I loved the story, characters and graphics but the goddamn battle system was so boring I could not force myself to keep playing. I am still going to remain optimistic but If this is just another FF12 i will have to pass

I don't think this game's battle system has much in common with FF XII's or an MMO's.  It strikes me more as a Resident Evil 4 clone, mixed with RPG stats and some elementary squad-based tactics.

Aye. It's like halfway between Resident Evil Mercenaries (or Gears or any over-the-shoulder game) and Mass Effect

Part of the reason i feel this has a good shot in the west, though on paper Monster Hunter should be big in the West too, since it's basically a boss-focused Diablo
