With the $50 I usually get out of the bank each week, I think I'll get Sumioni next week to support Xseed so they can continue working on Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, save $30, and then get Graces F the week after that, just 'cause you guys keep saying I need to buy it to get Xillia to come here. Xillia better make this worth it.

SC stands for Second Chapter, I think. It's part of a trilogy. The first is awesome, go buy it if you haven't already.

Well, Famitsu gave it a 37/40, if you trust them more than GT.

how is a 7.9 a bad score

especially when the user score is only .1 higher anyway, so it seems like the reviewers were roughly on par with the general audience (discounting some of the flaws that metacritic scores have)

If that review contained spoilers (that are actually significant) the story must be a lot worse than what they lead me to believe...

I was really excited for this game too.. ugh. As much as I liked FFXIII, it's not the kind of old-school jRPG I'm in the mood for right now, so I haven't picked up XIII-2. I can't think of anything else in this style that I want either.

So far, better than Symphonia, not as good as Vesperia.

So...Abyss.

now that I've found the time to watch it

as usual the actual content of the review makes it sound better than the score they gave it. It seems like a lot of the points came down from being a Wii game in HD so in comparison to the graphics of other PS3 games it just doesn't stand up

guys.
more talk about xseed and trails in the sky.

i mean they already got us Ys Oath for PC (though inferior to PSP version) and plan to give us Origin. likely 7 when 7 PC comes out. i don't know what to expect out of that one, so much potential in that game.

so yeah, love your xseed more.

Different reviewers with different tastes.

People forget that the guy who reads the reviews isn't the guy who writes them! They have a bunch of guys.

I feel like they should have a "Tales" guy, though. Or at least an RPG guy.

Vesperia.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt since I haven't actually finished Graces f, but Abyss wins by a mile unless you've already played it on the PS2 and don't particularly care about taking it on the road with you. Or unless you've got a friend or three who will play Graces f with you while you all do MST3K-style commentary.

It's $35? Huh, weird.

Still well worth it. It's the only really good console jRPG I can think of in ages, and probably makes my top ten RPGs ever list. Everyone else loves it, too (except VitalVI, but he's barely a person).

Vesperia randomly goes for $16 on Newegg sometimes, it just did recently but got sold out again, though I fully expect to go back in stock later on.

It stands for Future, something to do with an Epilogue part of the game that was added to the PS3 version.
