Yeah I hope they fix as many bugs as possible, seeing as SO3 was glitch's best friend....

Pretty good, I've always liked Sakuraba's music, especially his Star Ocean stuff, though I prefer "Cutting Edge of Notion" and "For Achieve" to TLH's battle theme.

Man, this game looks HOT.












I really hope this is as good as it looks...

  I think i'm gonna need a 360...

[lonerurouni187]

Looks so gorgeous....makes me wanna play some SO3 till it comes out....

[Flamzeron]

Wow.

This game looks better than any Final Fantasy I've seen.

Hmmmmmmmm SO3 was garbage  .... its all shiny and nice looking like infinite unfunnery lol.. hope it doesn't share the same fate as IFU... infinite mediocrity

[Craymel]

So... Why didn't I get a 360 again?

You know, SO3 is far from garbage, its not like it was a masterpiece either.

Umm, Annoying creation system, bad voice acting and lipsynching, terrible storyline, boring battle system, horrible physics within the battle system, and yet another forgettable soundtrack by motoi sakuraba make SO3 complete and utter garbage.... waste of $53.94 not imo but fact lol.... anyway, I'm going to get S04 anyway cuz i forgave the Suikoden franchise for suikoden 4 so i guess i can forgive anything lol... it looks pretty nice but i hope its not a flop like IFU and I dnt care how many people bought IFU cuz that game sucks and I'm still angry about seeing that game rated higher than vesperia on some websites but those reviewers must be you know... dee dee dee oh well.... I'll give this franchise a second chance because even a murder deserves a second chance right? lol

Game looks freaking amazing. This really looks to give Vesperia a run for its money gameplay-wise. All I pray for now is that the item creation isn't the ridiculous crap used in the third game. Having to press the button a zillion times just to get to a certain cost was absolute BS.

I see the bonus gauge again. And Rush gauge reminds me of the Stamina gauge. Looks like the battle system will probably work of SO3's one.

It wasn't a terrible game by any means but IMO, it is one of tri-Ace's weaker entries. SO2 is a far better game.

[navydude]

Wow, that battle system looks awesome.... I dnt knw what to compare that to....  I hate the way all new enix or whatever battles end with the close ups on the players and all that though but cool... all it needs is a good storyline cuz it has the battle system covered it seems

Specials attacks executed like SO1/2, no more pressure-sensitive BS.

Someone's saying the "stand around like an idiot to defend" system is gone and apparently Rush is something kind of like Tales overlimit.
