Man read the spoilers about the ending. Really sounds retarded. Will most likely pick this up later down the road because at least the gameplay looks a little fun, but not worth it at full price.

its pretty fun. i tried the japanese demo.. found myself making the annoying mistake of spamming buttons when the gauge is empty..
but i can see how the system would work.

its really more of a skill game due to the nature of the battles. if you know what you're doing its not hard to knockout the enemies.

Pretty much yeah, I've had a lot of fun trying to figure out ways to knock that dragon down in the demo lol. I think the battle system is a huge improvement.

I haven't really come across it in videos or articles I've seen, and after playing the JP demo I still don't know. Is there a character progression (like a form of exp) in LR? Or is it just about getting new gear for styles and such?

I remember reading that Light develops by completing quests.

**darkepyon** · 2013-11-28 06:42

That's the gist of it. The good stuff comes from finishing the main quests.

Main/Side quests are your form of progression in this game. You also have costumes and gear giving different bonuses as usual so you'll have to look around for those as well.

Finished 2 of the main story quests so far. I actually like this battle system more than the others.

So jealous of those who can read JP. This wait is killing me

The preview vids make the battle system seem a little sluggish. Of course, this might just be because they're slowing down the fighting to show off the battle system. But is it pretty decently paced and interactive/enjoyable?

Too bad it doesn't seem like you get the Cloud DLC outfit

Online Store exclusive :/ Waiting for the EU announcement (if there is one).

You do, I just preordered mine from the shop.

Also, GDI SE for making it $100 or more for free shipping on their shop. I needed another $10.01 to qualify with this for free shipping so I just grabbed FFVIII for Steam. I suppose I can somewhat rationalize that it only cost me a few bucks once I take out the shipping I would have paid.
