You're joking, right? Story is one of the main driving forces of a JRPG, especially a turn based one.

EDIT:I know that graphics is the least important thing in an RPG but despite good character designs and some cool CGI, the in-game visuals aren't that impressive, even for a Wii game.  The textures are bland and the character models are somewhat blocky looking.  I understand that the developer doesn't have the budget to produce FF-level graphics but I am just stating an honest opinion.  They could've atleast used cel-shading like in ToV to hide the bland textures(no, those screenshots are not using cel-shading if anyone disagrees with me).

Some of hear power has been used, the actual size is different (bigger) depending on the energy she has in them.

Well now I know why the guy's look like their from Eureka 7...
Main Character Original Design: Kenichi Yoshida (Eureka Seven)

Marvelous Entertainment is doing a great jop fulfilling the gap for JRPGs for Wii and DS, like Atlus and Bandai/Namco great opportunity for small studios to get over the giant hype that surrounds Square-Enix and the only hyped RPG their are making Final Fantasy franchise.

My opinion on the matter is that the stagnation the genre has been suffering for years is because the majority of western gamers are filled up with RPGs that plays,looks like and has the felling of Square-Enix games. I believe with this generation we will see a lot of new experiences on the Wii from JRPGs form new studios on the mainstream market like Epoch,Atlus,Grasshoppers,Sega(not new but with fresh ideas).

Marvelous has already realesed on the DS fresh ideas on TRPG like Luminus Arc,Atlus also with Rondo of Swords other games like Etrian Odyssey,Baroque(remake).

and we still have time for new announcements TGS,2nd October Nintendo Events.

Thats a heck of a unique IPs for the Nintendo systems. Now we must find time to play them and the most important money to buy them.....

I thought the audience being largely adolescent boys was obvious. Same with comic books.

I like unrealistic bewbs, keeps it unrealistic.

That picture is really lacking in detail on the character's clothing.

Or maybe I'm just too used to FF games where every character has a 5 or 6 dangling/frilly things as part of their clothing.

I would imagine that the game has a small budget since the game is being made by a small developer.  They could've atleast used cel-shading to hide the bland textures.

Honestly these graphics talking are becoming excess, the game looks fine, were even here talking about bewbs and newds, that clearly means we can tell it's not a trap and a game without any form of trap is a must buy in my book.

I've never been the same since:

That is a dude in anime. =/

Ask Capcom, one second Poison was a chick then at some point during the 1st or 2nd year of third impacts release she became a he.
