Oh yeah, No one is going to get sued for this...

My first reactions to the screenshots in the above post

Airships

Where are the cannon things pointed? If the building on the cliff declaring war on the ocean for some reason?

TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is looking really good, I hope someone who knows Japanese comes and translates the text from the articles so I can find out possibly if the cannons are trying to kill the ocean

Also I can recognize several of the Kanji as their corresponding Chinese Characters. I see the character for King so that hints a kingdom. Also I see the character Dian (点) quite a few times. This character means either order when used in the specific context ordering food, or a measure word for time on the hour. Combined with the clock that appears in the artwork of the boy and girl (also the TIGER!!!!!) I am inclined to believe that Time will play a role as well. Looks interesting

Cannons more often than not point at the sea to destroy enemy ships. That's pretty normal.

[NeoCracker]

Those shots look radical.

[Depression Moon]

Getting even more interested.

The alleyway image in 3 totally reminded me of FF9.

I see a lot of FF12 in those pictures. Except Shirtless Dude could probably spank Vaan with his variation on Cloud's Buster Sword (Buster Scimitar?). Though he looks a bit typical. At least he's no Squall or Tidus. And those knights look like Judges. But as long as it doesn't take after Star Wars the way 12 did, and has an interesting story and doesn't bore me with pointless grinding I'm not inclined to start docking points just yet. I'm still intrigued. The world looks interesting. And I'm curious about the girl and the tiger. She looks deceptively competent for a little girl in a Japanese RPG. The competent chicks are usually wild or knightly

It'll be interesting seeing the site change its name to Eyes on Last Story.

But it won't have the fanfare, so it can't be a REAL Final Fantasy game.

Is that a dig at FF13 too?

It's a dig at the people who say that FFXIII wasn't a "real" FF because it didn't have Fanfare. Generally the same type of people who say that these games are more FF than FFXIII is.

If I didn't want this game before (which I totally did the moment I heard about it) Shirtless Dude makes me want it even harder.

>>> Damn, I dont want to buy a Wii but this game is telling me to do it..

[Jiro]

Those screens are interesting. The castle near the cliff reminds me of Dragon Quest VIII for some reason. I really like that alleyway shot, I'm not sure why. But yeah, looking forward to hearing more.

Although I have great respect for Sakaguchi, he just isn't pulling his weight as a game developer anymore. He needs to stop reliving past glories and make something that isn't a clone of Final Fantasy. They may as well not release The Last Story as I guarantee we have all played it in some form before.

I could say the same of SE and the FF franchise actually. Really of any JRPG at this point in time. :p

That's because you don't have a PS3 (re: Dreddz on Valkyria Chronicles, Demon's Souls) :p

I hardly find Demon's Soul or Valkyrie Chronicles to be considered a traditional JRPG like the FF series (and seriously, they are like the only two except maybe Disgaea 3 and I'm just giving you that one :p

So you want a game that's like those old games, but not like those old games. That's pretty interesting!

This game will be terrible. Every Mistwalker game has been lame because 99% of what you loved about the older Final Fantasies was actually the work of Yoshinori Kitase, Nobuo Uematsu, Amano, Tetsuya Nomura and other various designers/programmers/writers.

the majority of JRPGs released in the last five years are the atrocious Tales and Mana Khemia/Aetilier type mold which feel more like PS1 knockoffs than actual valid entries and they are flooding the market.

Tales of Vesperia is a better game than Persona 4 and Demon's Souls. The Mana Khemia/Atelier stuff is god awful though.

This, the new Metroid and A Boy and his Blob make me glad I have access to a Wii.
