    The game in animation may look good. But the art style they chose, especially those concept arts. Its all muscles tits and ass. I am not personally offended. But I do get the feeling they were going out of their way to be ugly

    I would take the art style with a grain of salt, personally. Those thighs are comically big.

    Like I said, wait until you see the harpy. You'll see how "offensive" it is then. lol
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    A grain of salt indeed. Its hard to ignore at first glance though. But the dudes indeed look just as ridiculous. But its not an unplayable kind of ugly. Its more of a campy kind of ugly. Since its done on purpose. And in any other regard, it is gorgeous. And I wouldn't let that stop me from enjoying a Diablo/Golden Axe hybrid

    What is 'out of proportion'. The boobs are already meh but those butt cheeks and thighs are ginormous O_O. I doubt those ankles could bear all that weight, kinesiologically speaking of course.

    Dude she's holding it with both hands ;D

    All asinine offense aside, I'mma get it for ps3.

    Reminds me of the D&D arcade games which I've been playing a bunch since they hit the consoles recently.

    The head of Vanillaware was at Capcom years ago and helped them program the D&D games.

    Wish I could. Hopefully it's still available in a month or so when I'm not trying to save up half a grand for household reasons

    The art style is tasteless. Not funny, not sexy, but tasteless.

    Even the people who enjoy it seem to agree on that. And they all say if you can get past it that there is a really fun game underneath. So here's hoping its true. And maybe Dragon's Crown 2 will do it more justice with a better art style

    It's an excellent grindfest with some great mechanics and apparently lots of replay- played about 20 hours and am just over level 30.

    they are trying to get me to keep different sets of gear for different dungeons to keep various buffs pumped up but I still mainly just stick to the overall best stuff.


    There is sometimes a campfire scene between multilevel raids you can do where you cook all kinds of sweet foodstuffs for your dude to give bonuses - but with computer allies, they won't make their own so I have to feed the whole party.


    Also the multi-level raid system is awesome because for each dungeon in a row that you clear you get bonuses like '+100% gold' etc

    apparently it goes to level 99 with two additional playthroughs at higher level like diablo.

    Can't recommend enough

    I wouldn't say the artstyle is tasteless, as there was actually a reason for it, being that they wanted to go the overblown and exagerated style with the old school sprites in the way they overblow their artstyle in their other games.

    I really like the artstyle for most of the game, I do dislike the Warrior, Amazon, and Sorceress though. The overblown styalization doesn't really work for me on your normal human characters, Works well for everything else though. If I hadn't been so far behind on my gaming this past couple weeks I'd be farther in, though as it stands I'm not even to where you unlock online, though I almost have Shin Megami IV beet.
