Did a search, didn't find an existing topic, so I decided to create it.

Got it on sale after thanksgiving, the reviews are great for this game which is very suprising for a SEGA rpg (when was the last time sega had a well reviewed rpg since Skies of Arcadia? speaking of that game, does it become bothersome to anyone having the existing Skies of Arcadia characters in this game?) Played it for a few hours just past the part where the player is given full control of the squad, the game seem very solid overall, plays well, good story, nice voice acting, and unique with lots of interest ideas that seems to be well implemented.

Since all the square/mistwalker games on 360 are not that great (just got The Last Remnant too, heard it sucks...) while Disgaea & Tales are not very different from before, this game seems to be one of the best new RPGs on either PS3 or 360 next to Eternal Sonata, and it's different yet rather realistic setting seem to capture my attention a lot better than all the other complete fantasies.

I've been playing this game as much as my schedule allows it for the last month or so, and I must say I'm in love with it. The battle system is so fresh, and I haven't found a battle yet that I've felt dragged on for too long. The graphics, while nothing out of the ordinary technically, are quite beautiful, and I think the voice acting is pretty good across the board.

This is pretty much the RPG(if it can be called that) that I've liked most in the last couple years.

I played the demo but am just about out of money this month so I can't buy it yet. But the demo was great. Beautiful colours, although you couldn't get much of a sense of plot just from the demo. I do look forward to buying it when I have the cash to spare.

I should be receiving a title of that nature during the events of an upcoming holiday... :P

I've been following it since it was still "Valkyrie of the Battlefield," and has impressed me even from that early stage. Seeing the glowing opinion that the final product has received, my faith has obviously not been ill-placed. I'm really looking forward to playing it, I have to say.

I played the demo but I have not picked up the full game. I should pick it up over the holiday season though.

Like Oppenheimer and Goldy, i too have played the demo. Really impressive, but i don't know if i'll be picking it up soon. But it's something that i will play sooner or later.

I wouldn't call it an RPG, from what i can tell in the demo. I would call it a strategy game. But i'm being a bit picky in playing the PS3 games, so wanting to play this says a lot.

Got it for Christmas, and I'm in love with it. The demo is good, but the full game truely impresses.

I would call it an RPG, or to be precise, an SRPG. It's more RPG than Suikoden Tactics, and better in every respect. You don't see most of the RPG side in the demo, but when you're outfitting characters, researching new equipment and other such deeds, it really becomes what many consider an RPG. Suffice to say, there's more to it than the demo would have you believe.

Highly recommended. If it keeps going as is, it may well be my favourite RPG this year, Japanese or Western.

I bought it as well. It's really really good. Great plot and likeable characters, beautiful artistic graphics, and really fun strategy. I can't recommend it enough if you like any of those things. I'm playing nothing but it recently.

Same here Oppenheimer, I picked it up over Christmas and I love it, a very good SRPG with a great plot! Love everything about this game and I have to say the demo did not do this game justice at all, if anyone liked the demo they will love the game! :P

I'll have to wait for a little while. I went out yesterday to get it, but i went to 5 game stores nearby and found that while they were there before New Years Day, they all vanished. It turns out that they all have been sold out here in Australia in less than a week! So i ordered my cop to come in whenever possible.

I hope that you guys won't go straight to the spoilers before i finish! :lol:

Hey just in case someone doesn't know, this game's been on sale at gamestop for only $30 new right now for another week or so. I got a sealed copy and traded in my used copy somewhere else for $25, so it's not really price cutted perminately, consider getting it cheaper while you can if you still haven't got it.

What?
[quote="rickyleung90":3r915w1u]I called 5 eb games store and they have no copy. They say its discontinued.

It's part of their yearly sale of new games that's either over stocked or they are just clearing out, you can always check online for the closest store to you that has one, it's been going on for almost the entire month but the sale ends very soon.
