I guess I'm one of the first ones to claim the game feels almost ready for release? It looks alright, except on that part where the blonde girl touches the tree, that thing looks rough, but it reminds me of Chronicles X in many aspects, that game looked very unpleasant quite constantly due to low res textures and other graphical details here and there.
The art style is another story... It looks generic as fuck, I'm afraid to say, like something stripped out from a Tales of game, and by that I mean that this game looks like it lacks the uniqueness and personality that even the original game and even X hold. Monolith Soft went safe here, or maybe the idea of the "outsourced company" isn't too exaggerated after all. I'm going to give a little credit because at least it looks like this game won't have lifeless dolls that X had, hopefully they show footage of it tomorrow to verify that.
As for the game releasing this year, well, like I said, it looks like something by now, so maybe a Japanese release in 2017 is indeed a thing. Either way, don't think we'd have to wait more than 2018.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
