Is it me or do all the 'bad' bits of this sound like a subjective thing? I don't doubt that this is a bad game, but is there nothing worse than 'It feels wrong' going on here? Does that make it worth a four?
@RealTerry - Indeed, the article is rife with typos and grammar issues. Was this put together as fast as it seems it was? I did enjoy it though. Wish you'd point out instances of the curse skipping people, though I suppose that'd make for a boring article.
As I watched this trailer, I kept thinking "It's like they took little bits from all of the old games and put them here."
This Cocoon place looks like Zanarkand to me, and the steampunk thing sounds Midgar-ish. Not to mention the 'former government operative with crazy powers' schtick from FF7 and FF6.
Also, did anyone else notice the kickass retro-y music?
My only concern is this odd battle system. Can they make it work?
DiMaggio has a damn sexy voice. There's no way he's really in this, though, is there?
As for Jbo87 thar, I like the brown/grey comparison and I'm all for cynicism, but the sad truth is that we quote-unquote gamers who bought a Wii are desperate for something that isn't made for grandmothers and housewives. Mario and Metroid can only hold up so long against a tidal wave of minigame collections.
