Anyhoo, judging from the demo it sorta reminds me of Star Ocean like you can just control your characters in battles. I don't know much about the storyline and I honestly don't want to know yet lol... I wanna see when I purchased it.
So who has it?

I've got the game, and it's my second favourite RPG on the 360 (Tales is first). I like the battle system, it's a nice change and a mix of turn-based and real time. The battle starts of easy and repetitive, but by the end of the game it really picks up and starts to get fun. The last level of combat feels like real time actually, it keeps you on your toes. I've never played Star Ocean, though I want to and can't wait for the one coming out in March, so I can't compare the two.
The graphics are really fluid and sharp, and the cutscenes are gorgeous. The music is nice, but despite being a music based game and created by tri-Crescendo, it's not revolutionary. I still prefer Tales music. Nevertheless, it's pretty good.
My major complaint with the game is that it's way too short, by JRPG standards. Also, the special moves that the characters use get really repetitive quickly, since there's only about 4 moves per character worth using.
