Any one else get this game? I preordered it (on $12.50 which covered the whole price of the game SIQQQQQQQQ) and played a little bit of it yesterday. I had some pretty low expectations given talk about the crap translation and VO. While it's pretty obvious this game was made on a budget, it's saccharine-sweet JRPGing. Right down to the characters, the music, the visual design.

The battle system (so far) pulls alot from Chrono Cross; you have a stock of action points and decide how to spilt it up amongst your characters. Reading the manual, later on you get combo attacks (sounds like Techs in CT - Image Epoch obviously couldn't get enough of the Chrono series, lolz).

I just started the game, but for some reason it hooked me. I was going to trade this in immediately for S&P2, but I think I might stick it out.

First, I apologize for not replying to this thread. I hadn't played it when you posted, and why I never came back, I don't know. Probably because I'm not worthy.

But seriously, I am not a fan of this game. I got probably an hour and a half into the game, and I just could not make myself care. The script is ridiculously generic, but even that wouldn't have been so bad if the dialogue hadn't been so abominable. I've heard some praise directed at the combat system, which isn't bad, I suppose, but it's not great, either. Honestly, this game spent about half a day in my house, and I was asleep for 5/6 of that time.

When I get back to my Wii I'll definitely keep playing it. As you said, there is alot wrong with it, but for some reason I'm in a JRPGfanbitch mood right now.

Yeah, I felt pretty much the same way about the second Symphonia, so I don't have room to judge here. :P
