The storyline is by the same guy who did Final Fantasy Tactics, my utmost favorite Final Fantasy game. He also did Vagrant Story, which I haven't gotten too far into yet but I have heard many good things about. I'm not at all worried about the story.

And in response to the "Vaan is too girly" comments that get bandied around a lot, one word: Sephiroth.

Anyway, I'm going to get this. I'd probably be really excited about it if it hadn't been delayed for so long. But right now, Disgaea 2 has priority. I'm still looking forward to this game and I do think it will be quite good.
