    it doesn't have two completely different modes of fighting that completely mess up the balance and sense of progression in the game, so it doesn't count.

    Having mechs just as a mode of transportation would have been much better for the gameplay.

    Yep, still sounds exactly like Xenogears. It's well loved for its clunkiness. The awesomeness of riding a huge mech usually outweighs any design flaws

    there are much better games to play if you want to be in a mech and punch things

    zone of the enders, for example. those games are even on ps3 in hd now

    Fynn is the sort of person who would find the latest Transformers movies to be fantastic pieces of cinematography.

    don't change the rules! it's the punching in a mech that is important here.

    I'm with Fynn. I'm interested in the game but on the fence do to the story progression and implementation. Nothing I've heard about the mech combat has turned me off. People hate mech combat in Xenogears and I loved mech combat in that game
