Jumpin on 20 August 2011

Honestly, I am a little disappointed so far in the gameplay. I don't find the game nearly as interesting as I thought I would. It has a very gimmicky feeling battle system, like FF13 and FF12 had, which I am already tiring of after mere hours; I always feel like RPGs would be better off just sticking with a regular battle system and not do these weird feeling ones that end up being more annoying than already existing ones. While I am not overly a fan of FF10, it is the style of battle system that I wish RPGs like this one would use. Xenoblade also feels very big and sparse as well. Still probably the best RPG on console since Dragon Quest 8 or Xenosaga Episode 3, but there are quite a few handheld RPGs I would take over it.

The graphics are better than I thought they would be though.

Maybe over time I will warm up to the game, afterall, some of my favourite RPGs ever I was not thrilled with on initial playthroughs.

If you have a problem with the combat then it just means you are not good enough with it yet =P It's much faster paced like MMORPGs with cool downs and whatnot, even when I played the JP version, I immediately knew that it's closer to MMORPG controls with tweaks that fit well into the game design.

I agree here. Give it a bit of time and you'll find when things get a bit hectic, that's when it gets real good :)

I wasn't considering this game, but I might buy it just because I can.

To retaliate, the OP could buy something in America that you can't buy.

What games that's released in NA and not in EU? Nothing? Oh....



Pre-order limited edition Blue Slime Condoms

For the Wii, there is Trauma Team, Mario Baseball and Excitebots.  I can name many more for other platforms if you want.

can we interpret lots of tears as a success for operation rainfall?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

If you could read my sig, Trauma Team would have been a better choice.
But it doesn't matter, because I can buy those too if I really wanted to.
Amazon.com is just a few clicks away - if I can import, so can Americans.

Dude... that's just wrong. I'm American too and I'm patiently waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail.

OT: I think this trailer is more appropriate

Man I kinda did.

Well seeing as you are enjoying the game, would you at least support the developer by purchasing a copy now?

You do want them to continue making awesome games, don't you?
