lol, poor girl, even the chipmunk wouldn't touch her :P

wish they weren't using a fixed camera, but o well, still looks good nonetheless. English dub wasn't bad either. However, do they have the option to use the Japanese voices?

Nice :)

2007-03-16 23:21:31

Everybody is raving about the graphics especially concerning the artwork, but imo (and I'm not flaming here) that is the ugliest game I've ever seen...

Are we looking at the same thing ? no offense bt if you think this is ugly then you must have a really bad taste. May be you dont like it but that doesnt make it ugly!

Well, I did put the "IMO" bit in there for a reason. Taste is subjective, you know..?!

No need for no personal insults...

It wasnt meant as an insult and if you took it that way Im deeply sorry. You just only said it was ugly when in fact you just dont like the art style, that's why I said not liking its art style doesnt make it ugly. They are two different things.

Sorry again for that comment about the taste thing. that was totally uncalled for. :D

No problem man, it's not a big deal. I also misunderstood what you were saying so my bad as well.

Anyways, yeah I see what you mean, but it's not just the art-style, it's mostly the colours that really put me off and to me it is really ugly (though I probably could have chosen my words a bit more subtle, like: very unappealing or something like that, hehe.)

No worries :D I happen to actually like this sort of stron coloring in games. I find it very appealing! or may be it's because Ive had enough of dark games already ;)

This is my next must have title, without a doubt.

Love the artstyle, the colour, everything is perfect from a graphical point of view.

I'm not so keen on the battle engine, from my expereince, (Tales of series and such) these type of battle engines get very boring 30+ hours into a game.

Will still get it though :D

in some parts it does look like a dreamcast game, but overall, it looks next-gen.

Kenshin which parts are those then?

Or was that a quote ? :P

Marumaro for the WIN !!

2007-03-17 22:15:13

well maybe not Dreamcast, well I mean I don't know of an jrpg on there I could compare it too.

But some parts do look straight out of one of the Tales games on the PS2 or GC, key word some, meaning not many. It's not a bad thing either, since I happen to like the look of the Tales games. Overall it looks like a next-gen game, and some thing that could only be done on 360/PS3. So cool your jets :P

2007-03-17 22:22:47

Nah.. its cool i know what ya mean, i think the battle sqeneces look kind of average to me also.

Cutscenes and town area's look amazing though.

---

2007-03-17 22:37:58

Yeah, the cut scenes and towns in know way look like any previous gen game. The battle scenes look average to me too, but then again from what we've seen those scenes look like they were taken from early on in the game. You know how most jrpgs battle systems suck nuts at the beginning, but get better as time goes on. Hopefully thats probably the case.
