Yes, I'm dying for this. I love action-RPGs... And PSO was good, but there was no story of interest offline, which is what I play, and supposedly this one has a big story in its single player campaign. Since you can choose Ethan's class freely it also opens it up for lots of replay value.
Plus, his belly shirt has caused a predictable uproar that I find funny. Reading posts from fans so angry over a character model they refuse to buy the game is almost as entertaining as the game itself. I like his outfit, actually...But I'm just a big crazy asshole like that it seems
My only gripe so far is that after watching some gameplay videos it seems like they kept the two worst things about PSO: You don't spin the camera freely, you constantly have to put it behind the character with a button everytime you turn around, and it seems you still lock-on automatically. I don't know those for sure, however, it's just what it looks like. Neither would be a huge deal to me, but I don't see why a right analog stick couldn't control a camera and why L1 can't be manual lock-on if that is indeed the way they have kept it.
It comes out on the Ps2 and 360, and I think it comes out October 24th.
