I like what I see, and the story looks awesome, but LMAO @ the voice overs. They're absolutely horrible! Who in their right mind assumes we want to hear jo shmo American from down the street coming from a bunch of Asian-looking characters? At the very least, get real Asians with Asian accents to speak English. That would be much better than this crap. And, no. Reading English text with the English voices turned off is not an option for me. That's just dumb.

The only asian looking character in LO is probably Kiam.
However are you telling me an asian person who was born in, hmmm lets say america for instance should speak with an asian accent even though he may not speak an asian language, that just silly.
This game isn't even set in Japan so what does it matter how they sound.

damn that was close.... well fought BLim! :) Seriously though the game looks awesome, only hope they sort out the framerate issues soon, the tearing is horrible in some places. Still, it looks like a truly next gen RPG in every other way. Personally I really like the voice overs. I think they got it spot on for a change (I'm looking at YOU, Rikku. And YOU, Penelo. Oh. And vaan. And tidus...oh geez, only Auron had a cool voice)

I was a little bit scared when IGN said: looks like a High ress PS2 game, but as far as I can tell, The game looks awesome, solid graphics, nice environments, awesome art direction, very detailed characters and nice textures (not the best on Xbox360 for sure but this kind of game don´t need Gears of War textures in my opinion) The voice acting is great, I like a lot Kaim, Jansen and Seth voices, and the voice acting is better than in Blue Dragon, much more natural.
Jollipop said he is 51 hours far on the game and not finished, and with that, I know the game will be between 60, 70 hours for sure. I lke to explore sloooowly all the maps in games like L.O.

Wooow cant wait any more...man the game looks cool
Its true the graphics are not mind blowing
But i wish the story is good...thats enough for me
till now i finished eternal sonata - (i didnt like the ending and the final boss is easy)
Blue dragon - (reached the 2nd disk....booooring)
Ist true the game runs using Unreal engine??
If thats true the game should have looked much better
By the way i loooooooooooooooove the battle music

The graphics can be surprising good in places, as with any game the standard fluctuates a bit.
The best looking JRPG out there without a doubt.
If Blue Dragon didn't keep you entertained nor will this I'm guessing.

Voice acting is probably one of the best I have seen in a JRPG, FF12 and DQ8 being the only other that come to mind really.
Anyways people check this high level spell out .. :P

That's like assuming all african american's should speak like 50 cent. And all red necks should have a hick accent.

You really should change the name of the feature to "The First Hour" instead of "The First 10 Minutes"

hmm.. I'm a bit disappointed ,that in the 2nd boss fight the actual big worms are only there to make the smaller bugs weaker .. If all of those small bugs only used their magic attack instead of that charging thing , they'd absolutely destroy the hero group , so in my opinion the enemies are acting pretty illogical there to give the players a chance to win the fight...
Ofcourse this is not the only JRPG that has moments like that , but still this always leaves a bad after taste in my mouth ,if I see it.

Voice-over for Kaim was made by Wentworth Miller (Scofield from Prison Break) and he really did a great job!

Voice acting is great as far as I heard some dialogs, and the voices works perfectly on main characters, Kaim, Jansen and Seth.
