The hell is with you and your stance against Western devs, Western pubs, Western reviews, hell Western anything?. You have a real case of Xenophobia going on here.

The game is as it is scored and reviewed, that's what it's been like for practically all other games since the beginning. I've played and liked games in the apst that got shit scores and that didn't stop me from playing them. Last gen I gave Bullet Witch a whirl and thought it was a decent game and had a good time with it and just look at the reviews and scores that game got. 

It's called being a weeaboo. It's quite an epidemic on the internet nowadays and you'll see it in any corner of the internet that involves something that looks like, sounds like, or is referred to as having anything to do with anime or Japanese pop culture. Reality and objectivity are thrown out the window in praise of almighty Nippon and every other part of the world just sucks and is trying to oppress them and bring them down whenever something critical is said about anything related to Japan.

See what happens when you consort with foreigners. They betray you in the end. Hope this taught you a lesson, Kobayashi(and others).

Seriously, I expected this. The game is simply alright.

As an American, I value my fat and am proud of it. I put countless hours at the buffets, fast food chains and bbq pits. I even sacrifice some sleep to have some late night eating.

Everyone is admitting to their defeat with fighting obesity. Look at M$, they are stopping services for Xbox Fitness, because they are fighting a losing battle.

We need to embrace and let be. 😚

As far as disc swapping goes. I cringe at the thought of even having to walk to my console to put a disc in. After buying a game at the store, I have buyers remorse when I get home. The effort I have to put in to unwrap the plastic is tiring. 😐

Agreed I'm all about guys getting as fat as they can. Makes it easier for me.

Are you one of the alien overlords who's waiting for everyone to plump up to the optimal plumpness and then harvest us to feed your planet?

Feels exactly like Star Ocean 3. The battle system is exactly like SO3 and Fidel has all of Fayt moveset... Even his battle qoutes. The music so far feels entirely SO3 stylistically.

Serious Deja Vu right now.

Playing it right now. Starts out better than 3 and already enjoying the characters more than 4.....

Only an hour or so in but its good (not great but good) so far.

And it supports remote play and plays well through it, deserves ATLEAST a 60 just for that.

edit:  I cannot seem to get the First Day DLC Code to work.  Get the Thank You Screen for entering it but nothing else. 

Fat is the best part of the meat, you n00b! It retains the most flavour in dishes and that gelatinous texture is to kill for! Go back to People Eating 101. Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. 😐

So it is going up.  But the complaints sound familiar compared to the ones from Japan:  bit short, obviously held back by budget, doesn't seem to do much new.  Still looks like a pretty good game and looks like it will probably get over 65.  But it seems like Square may not have put the resources in to push it to the next level.
