I can't say it's worth the wait, but it is a pretty good action RPG.
It has far too many Japanese tropes. The gameplay is good, but the graphics are very last gen. I love the setting, but the plot isn't anything new. Overall it's slightly better than average.
It's worth picking up if all you have is a Wii or you really love Japanese style games. I think the whole "Operation Rainfall" thing may have blown things out of proportion. Granted Nintendo should never hold a game back when it's already been translated. But it's not like it's the killer app that many hoped it would be, unless you only have a Wii and you're dieing of game thirst in the vast desert between Wii releases. |
How far in are you? The story doesn't get really good till after a while, and the graphics are only "last gen" if you're looking at character models. The world and environments are far beyond last gen.

I'm not far at all. I'm just giving my first impressions. As for the graphics, I have to disagree with you. The art design is really very good. However the textures are blury and the polygon counts are low. It doesn't look bad, it just looks limited. I'd love to see what the game would have looked like without the limits of the Wii's hardware.

That's fine. It DOES pick up later, and, although the areas may look a bit washy close-up, the long shots more than make up for it. I mean, just look at this below:
You wouldn't notice that the polygon count is low if all you're seeing throughout the majority of the game are amazing scenes like this...and this is the first major area no less!
