I just got a hold of this game the other day as a birthday gift and checked it out a little to see what it was like. So far from what I've seen I'm digging it. Unlike Tales of Symphonia, that was a little weird but grew on me, this one is already sounding very cool. The graphic style is a lot different and there is tons of nice character artwork during the story line. This one is more 3D looking than Symphonia was, and has very sharp looking environments. The FMVs are much more anime like and are pretty awesome, making this story look cool. Already I can tell the voice acting is going to be a lot better than Symphonia. I wasn't annoyed right way like I was with that game. You still can't play with the original Japanese, but the English is pretty decent. This seems like it'll be quite an adventure, and I'm thinking of playing it next. I'm definitely pretty intrigued by it.
