My wife and I are looking forward to this one. And we are not 6 year old girls.

This game is obscenely pretty. It's not right. It's the first cel-shaded game to actually trick my eyes into thinking it's a 2D Disney film.

For a flash second i saw the image in the video player and thought "Pirates!"!

Then was disappointed, but looks interesting either way.

@Esposch I love you. And I love Xenoblade even more.

I'm just a big fan of Haiyo Miyazaki, so I'll probably pick this up.

...Too bad Hayao Miyazaki has nothing to do with this game.

This game looks like it will be great and all but ugh, I had to google Mana Ashida after this and I think the cuteness of what I found is going to melt my face off!

Now this looks like the true follow up to the PSX final fantasy generation Ive been waiting for!

Seriously Square? I thought you said it was technically impossible or unrealistic to accomplish a vast open world like you had before with the demands of current gen hardware. I cant remember anyone asking for elder scrolls just a nice well designed top down map, like this.

This game looks incredible! :D

I was moderately impressed by this... until the dragon part! Absolutely stunning animation and art work.

I just hope the gameplay is good and the story is delightfully heartwarming and non "too sweet it's sickening" style.

I have high hopes for this one, a JRPG that deserves to stay in my collection this generation. So far, the only three to earn that are Neir, Lost Odyssey, and Valkyria Chronicles.

The rest are just tepid and not worth the 50 hour investment. Eternal Sonata was a close contender, but a bit too... eeyech.

I'm completely in love with the old-school overworld map.

Bought the game yesterday, and played for about 3 hours.
It's a bit early to make definitive comments, but overall impressions are positive so far. The fact that I could play it for 3 hours is in itself a good indication.

It's nothing mind-blowing so far, mind you (although it looks and sounds great), but it's a nice old-school JRPG.
