Better late than never, I started playing this yesterday and haven't stopped since (apart from to finish off final boss of Silent Hill: 0) great game, great SRPG, nice presentation, overall really impressed. Especially like the anime esque fmv, reminds me of similar games, Xenogears etc.
Hope it keeps up the pace throughout.
Any word of a sequal? Would be pretty stupid to not have some spin off, or a whole new game with the same engine when this has scored so high. Personally I think a Rogue Galaxy (PS2 RPG, same devs) SRPG would be fantastic with the fantasy/space theme.
