Bahamut: The multiplayer will probably be a lot like Tales of the Abyss (PS2). That might be worth checking out. It's a pretty great game.

Anyways,

1. I didn't like KH 1 enough to finish it so I didn't play number 2, so I'm not particularly interested in this new one. I have no opinion.

2. The gameplay sounds awesome. Tetsuya Nomura can go die in a hole, though. Still, if all goes according to plan, I'll be picking it up when it comes out. I don't think his character designs and stuff will completely ruin the game. (They didn't ruin VIII or X.)

3. I'm super psyched about the new Symphonia game because I played through the first ToS about ten times. :P It's easily one of my favourite games. They seem to have done away with the chibified characters in favour of more "realistic" (as far as anime goes, anyway) designs. The basis of the story sounds stupid (well, the Lloyd part, anyway) but I'm thinking it'll be like ToS where everything changes at one point. Really, it could just be more ToS and I'd go crazy for it.
