What's the goddamn glitter tag?
 

Just outta curiousity--I'm not reading most of this thread 'cause of the spoilers buuuut--if you're this interested in the game, do you guys plan to get it?

If so, what's the point when you're already going to know every single thing that is going to happen by the time it makes it state/whateversideyouareon side?

I mocked RT for this yesterday.
 

I'm interested solely for the gameplay, but this is largely why I am avoiding these videos. Even if I don't like the story, I don't want to spoil it for myself. That'd make playing through it even more unbearable, once again, under the assumption I don't like it.

Yeah, I'm going to come out and call that a fake, there, for some pretty obvious and not-so-obvious reasons. :sweatdrop

On the linearity, eh I used to hate FFX for that but on later replays it was less of a problem, it just stopped bothering me, so hopefully it won't bother me in this.

So anyway, apparently this game has a bestiary. Which is awesome and has boosted it to buy at release for me. I mean it probably won't top FFXII's masterpiece of one, but still, they're my favourite thing to put in a RPG.

Also I've got two questions that I'm curious about but don't want the answer too spoilery.

1. Is Jihl the main villain?

2. If not does the main villain come out of freaking nowhere Necron style?

I can actually field this. No, Jihl is not the main villain, despite being quite the bitch. The main villain is currently somewhat ambiguous, as there are a couple candidates, but no solid word on who's ultimately the biggest problem for the party. We CAN assume, however, that we'll meet whoever it is along the way, given what has been revealed, or that they at least aren't going to come out of nowhere.

Unconfirmed spoilers:

She seems to die halfway through the game.

No idea.

What the fuck?! No, this must be fake... the shadow doesn't cover the characters below... but it's a great fake.

Also, after seeing some footage of a Asian Let's play, the game does seem to open up nicely and scale up too, so i guess it's a slow start, but not as bad as i thought it could be.

Maybe there's more to playing a game than finding out what's going to happen.

But, maybe not.
