"The way IGN has been towards JRPGs this generation"? You mean... generous? Not sure why you would be surprised.

Halo: Reach - 10
Uncharted 3 - 10

Tales of Vesperia - 8.2

Hardly.

Not surprised at all. That game looks absolutely tops. Makes me wish I still had a PS3...

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

Game Informer gave it a 7/10, but they disliked the difficulty level and the "absurd amount of random encounters".

There are no random encounters, lol.

High or low?

She said that she "Cursed at many cheap boss fights", so I am guessing the difficulty of the bosses was too high for her.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

I am not surprised at all. This game will sell over million easy if westerners support it. If it sells two million the Playstation is still the console of choice for JRPG's. At 40+ hours of gameplay I will be buying this game full price. Miyazaki films + Level 5 all in one? You cannot lose here. I will be also buying tales of Xillia as well as I am hearing its great.
