My friends keep telling me its good. I hear it brings back a few elements from SO2 in terms of item building and skill building. I look at it as a traditional Tri-Ace title. It will probably have a really good battle system and a few cool gameplay elements but the story and characters will be forgettable and uninspiring unless they do something totally quirky (another Tri-Ace calling card) like Ashton or the wonderful plot twist in SO3.

I would love to try it out but I don't own a 360.
