AnthonyVolpe Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Saw a video of it on IGN and I was impressed. I once thought this would just be some lame American attempt at Final Fantasy but the combat is in real time. Magic users fight in first person, which is OK, but melee fighters actually fight using combos in real time. Lots of combos, spells, and exploding body parts. Wasn't planning on buying this at all until I saw it in action. Seriously changing my mind now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I thought it looked killer even from the very first screens and I've been tracking its often changing release date for a loooong time now. It looks awesome, but it's a bit of a mystery game: will it be the next Azurik, or will it be the next KOTOR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I once thought this would just be some lame American attempt at Final Fantasy Almost impossible for it to be that, seeing as it's British Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 This is on my wish list along with Tales of Symphonia. I doubt I'll rush out and buy it on release day, but I'll certainly be looking for a good deal on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan B. Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 A demo of the game is on the new OXM which came out this week. (haven't tried it yet myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Anyone else thinking about picking this up next week? I'm 80% sure I'm going to - curious to see who else is thinking the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I enjoyed the small time I spent with the demo. I'm entertaining picking up the full, but I'll probably wait for some reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'll be buying. Haven't played the demo as of yet but I've been looking forward to the game for the better part of a year now. What are your thoughts on the combat system so far Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 What are your thoughts on the combat system so far Chris? Well, I was under the impression it was more like the Zelda combat system, in that you can walk anywhere, attack anything, etc. Not like RPG turn based combat. Well, that's true. It is like that. But you can choose special attacks, that when you bring up the special attacks menus, stop/slow time down so you can choose them, then you can execute them. It's kind of hard to judge it based on my REAL limited playtime with it, but it was very enjoyable. I also kind of didn't know what I was doing. But the attacks look slick, and the specials are kind of neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
