All sorts of ‘big game delay’ rumours flying around at the minute. Dragon Quest IX seems to be the favourite to get bad news, with Final Fantasy XIII coming in a close second.

Ja. Can’t find anything that seems to be based on anything solid, so I’m going to leave it, I think. It may well just be that they’ve had a shocking year.

If IU and Last Remnant is the best they can do then they deserve it frankly.

Last Remnant’s actually a very good game if you ignore the technical foibles. IU is tri-Ace, so it was always going to be flawed.
And TWEWY, SIE and Chapters of the Chosen were superb.

I could handle the technical side, just the main character being a fucking moron and the battle system being the most dull thing in history didn’t really work for me.
I could have dealt with the boring battle system really, but I just can’t play a game where the guy I’m supposed to care about is an idiot. I hate him and thus his stupid game.

I thought the battle system was really different, and it gets progressively more complex (and thus interesting) the further you get. I can only assume you didn’t play that far if you hated the protagonist (who is a bit of a dick, but that’s hardly uncommon to JRPGs).
