This game looks worse every time I see it. Seriously, it looks like it runs on the Mario Party 8 engine.

Screens look interested, but why do Wii RPG's all seem to have worse graphics than Symphonia?

Tales of Symphonia 2 had pretty crappy graphics too.  Honestly, this game pretty good when they're showing shots of the scenery but as soon as they show the character models it goes way downhill.

2005 PS2:

2009 Wii:

Looks like there is an arena, a guild and a library in this game.

Also, so people excited about the 4 player party, if you look at the screen shot again, you will notice the fourth character is a guest character. Just so you don't get to excited.

Why would a trailer totally comprised of cutscenes convince people that the gameplay screenshots are just bad examples of the graphics?  Do you have a video of the actual gameplay in motion?

I'm buying it.

You're absolutely right, if someone was badmouthing FFXIII gameplay screenshots and then you came in and showed a trailer with only cutscenes it would be the exact same situation and again would prove nothing.

Yes, all games look better in motion, goes without saying and this is no exception. The videos from the battles look good, though I'm not liking the character designs that make them all look like they're out of an anime for girls.

If you look at the screens, the environments and effects look nice, but it's the character that look bad. And it's the same in the trailer.

Like Grandia?

 I don't know, I haven't played that game.
