I never played the 360 version, (just the demo over and over and over), but the new PS3 version is out and I couldn't resist. The game is brilliant so far - the visuals are astounding.

I'm glad something like this is out so I can avoid getting sucked into the hype with Fallout 3. I don't like Western RPGs, generally, and this is a real treat to have something so new yet obviously a throwback to old RPGs. :)

Anyways, the extra content is really helping the reviews. It got 8.7/10 at IGN which is the score I'd give it so far. It's a very well-put-together package. With the flurry of games coming out, this is by far the best jRPG this season.

I loved this game. I played it on x360 back in the day. The graphics are slick, and beautiful. My favourite parts are when you complete a chapter, and there is a background of Chopins life, while they are playing his music. Good memories, maybe i'll get the ps3 version.....

Yeah, the PS3 version has 2 more characters, more music, and even more apparently. I like playing ultimate-versions of games - kind of like VF4: Evolution. They usually get a chance to fix everything they wanted to, and they find stuff to fix that they were completely ignorant of while they were developing. :)

Hahah, not that far. I think I just beat the giant rat with Retto and Beat. I'm blown away so far, though. :)

Man, what a well put-together game. The learning curve is also perfect for an RPG. You need to know how to make the exact best of every situation in order to move forward.

You can't fight Fallout 3 forever Phil. It is in fact quite good.

As long as Phil can fight it, I can fight it.

We shall stand tall and stand proud.

And I got a hell of a backlog.

Meh. I don't like western RPGs anyways. Mass Effect was a fluke.

Maybe I'll pick it up on boxing day or something.

I've had enough of your stylish shades and judging books by their covers. Just because Fallout 3 wasn't made in Japan doesn't mean you won't enjoy it.

I swear, man. I will drug you and force you to play this game and watch as you enjoy yourself.

I've played it. At PAX.

I also didn't really like Oblivion.

Don't listen to them Phil, it's a Canadian trap!

I just have too large of a backlog to buy it at the moment.

And with Gears tomorrow.
