Are you talking about Knights in the Nightmare? That's a DS game. The portable consoles have had a TON of great rpg's, I'm talking about the consoles. ;)

They just put that 'western' (read: grey & guns) twist on their game. Hell I'll buy it, although it looks really weird having an all gun mechanic in a Jrpg. We'll see... I'll buy it... but we'll see if it works.

It's supposed to be marketed to western audiences, but it has a lot of unique flair that I enjoy. Or maybe that's because I'm a westerner. Bah. It's working.

tri-Ace might not put out any amazing RPGs, but I've enjoyed them nonetheless. This one is looking pretty nice.

Extreme Gunplay and a Jrpg mixed into one brown and gray smorgasbord of what looks like pure adrenaline

Tri-ace must want my "non-existent" money huh

Are those actual combat scenes? That was sick... and stylish. Love it!

I think squall just took the blade off his gunblade, looking at the video's placeholder image.

well as long as they mix up the weapons enough to keep it interesting e.g. miniguns, rocket launchers, shotguns etc...and the battle sequences don't get to routine too quickly then they have my money...

Naw av, not enough inner-angst, and definitely not enough fluffy collar jackets...

And chuck, damnit you are right. He was the best character out of FF7 personally, and hell I bet he could give Dante and Nero a run for their money.
I remember the Bahamut Sin fight in Advent Children, while everyone was beating around the bush, he was right on top of Sin the entire time, blasting away at it. He may not of taken it down, but he never unleashed Chaos on Sin either so =P

Fun Factor
It's an RPG Shooter! That should be fun. I wanna see them characters actually reloading their guns. I wanna see a man's gun like Magnums & RPGs not just some sissy guns like these.

So far this is the only RPG that matters.

I was so disgusted by that badly designed poor afro guy in FFXIII. Its so insulting and not funny Tetsuya Nomura.
I hope this game trumps FFXIII.
