I am now officially hyped for this game. The US release needs to hurry up(if their is one). If not, I WILL be importing this bad boy, my first imported game ever.

I had a feeling this game could be epic!!!

 

It was my first ever import game. Well worth it, as it's only a few more dollars than a regular game. Too bad the asian version is backordered everywhere.

 

I have a question? I know the Asian import has English translations, but what about the text? Even when I am watching a video on someone who has imported it I always see Chinese text. Can you change that?

In-depth, indeed Mr. Cloud
Great read my friend!!! We need a Western release now

 

I am getting a tad impatient waiting for all these RPGs. I want them NOW!!!!! ^^

And I must commend the review. It was really informative on pretty much everything I would want to know about this game. I hope this guy does other reviews.

This game got a 9/7/7/6 from Famitsu.  Seems mediocre.

Isn't famitsu the ones who rated Haze and Last Remant really high? I dont know about trusting them too much. As an american, I much prefer a fellow english speaker who knows english culture's opinion. The way this reviewer makes it sound, it sounds awesome.

The 6 was predictably from someone who thought the game was too hard. Denegeki gave it 95/85/85/85. The fan and critical response to the game has been overwhelmingly positive. Hasn't famitsu handed out some questionable and unwarranted review scores in the past? Declaring this game to be mediocre hinges on much more than a poor Famitsu review.

Here is a quote from the person who gave it a 6.

'It's super-difficult... 'Souls' are needed for everything from shopping to power ups, and the entire game is unforgiving. Even worse, there are almost no hints. Demon's Souls is far too stoic... it's not a game for everybody.'"

...and from the person who gave it a 9.

Good reads. Hope this game gets released in NA and finds an audience.

@forevercloud3000 and ameratsu

Let's have an English lesson.

Please tell me the difference between the following two items:

"This game got a 9/7/7/6 from Famitsu.  Seems mediocre."

and

"Famitsu gave this game a 9/7/7/6 so it's medicore."


Ding ding ding!  Time is up.

The first is a set of two independent clauses (sentence and sentence fragment) while the second consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause joined together with a coordinating conjunction. In the first set, the items are not necessarily related.  In the second set, the items are definitely related due to the use of the coordinating conjunction.

Now, you typically learn about these things in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th grades depending on your school and I tend to assume that most posters here have at least a 3rd grade education. 

Perhaps my assumption is wrong.



@coktoe^

I really hope JRPG lovers in US and EU will buy it(if it is really that good). Games like VC and this deserve better for doing something different. I think many JRPG lovers in US complain about games like FF taking to long and mediocre JRPGs of late but when a good one comes along they dont buy it(VC).

Hopefully that won't happen with this game...

@WoW: So why say that a game "seems mediocre" based off of only a famitsu review? what else are you basing it on? Sorry for lifting your original statement out of context.
