Damn I'm not going to read all the arguments, but I love the kingdom hearts games.

Also one more thing I wouldn't mind playing rpgs 10 years from now that are similar in design to Final Fantasy 7 or previous jrpgs. All I want with my rpgs is continue getting them in the same formula I'm used to. If something's going to change just give me a different story, better graphics, cool & different characters and I'm good. I don't want rpgs to try to do too much to advance the genre to their detriment. Its one of the reasons I can't like FF12 it represents something I don't want to see happen to rpgs which is why I'm so happy that Sakaguchi is seemingly picking up where he left off on the PS1 with his style of doing rpgs.

If JRPGS are going to take any risks with the battle system I prefer them to flat out copy the kotor battle system just give me cooler spell effects and some cool animations. Thats the only advancement of japanese rpg battle systems I'm willing to deal with. I think if they are going to change it the way bioware did it in kotor is the only way to go.

You wanted to know what could be done with turn based combat which is why I brought up Fallout. You know what else Fallout has? No break in between adventuring and combat, like FFXII but 10 years ago with a much more in depth system.

Another thing I don't understand is why do most JRPGs go out of their way to hide the underlying game system? Take FFXII's grid for example. You finally are given the ability to control your characters progression since the very earliest games. But you have to "guess" which path opens up the skill needed to wear that armor you found. In any Western RPG, you'd know exactly what is needed to wear that armor, wield that sword or cast that spell.

This is cool news. Both consoles have RPG exclusives to look forward to, so a multi-plat RPG from Square is nice. Both sides win this time.

The art so far doesn't appear to be on par with Lost Odyssey, but we've seen so little afterall.

I'm starting to fear from reading about battle system this game could be a final fantasy, dynasty warriors only with turnbased combat and with a battle system that has too many variables in an attempt to appear feature rich, but it works to its detriment. I hope I'm wrong.

Square confirmed it to be a 360/PS3 title. Optimus change the topic name to "Last Remnant", please.

Lost Odyssey is that you? :P

I don't like what I'm seeing it appears the battle system may be trying to do too much :/

Not liking the art so far. It really does look like some attempt to compete with lost odyssey.



Extra screen.

I think the look of the city is fantastic, like the guy from GAF said looks like a next gen Rabanastre.

Battle looks interesting to me also, looks like you can target anyone in real time and then attack turn based, similar to how FF12 works.

Although it does have a strong feeling of Dynasty Worries, such as the map and the morality bar at the top, so it could turn out to be quite strategic as well.
