Trailer looks awesome :3

[orson]

Honestly I think that was the weakest trailer I've seen so far out of all their releases.

[Shenrien]

wow that was so lame it shown something that looked like Burst II on someones house, and a shooting star maybe? thats about it. oh and that she can wear Mahatma.

[Spira]

i like the style.. a bunch of nameless clones it seems..

i love the music already.. very grandiose, suits shantottos style.. slightly remnisicient of FFXII splendorous style... must be the string arrangement..
i also love the fact that they end it off with the waltz ditty.. makes it seem like one of those 'omg disaster waiting to happen scenario' comedy movie trailers. mizuta is getting better...

no doubt i'll love it anyway, its shantotto.. oh ho ho hoho

[Rionel]

Hmm...

From the trailer, this is what I've theorized.

Shantotto does an experiment that goes completely wrong, and she separates her personality into two beings: Dark Shantotto (The one in the black robes with the fomor Taru minions) and Light Shantotto (The one in errant who did a curtsy at the end).

A few things that make me believe this:

1. You see 3 different Shantotto outfits: her regular, the black one and the white errant one. Why would she be in two different outfits aside from her normal one?
2. Shantotto bowing to somebody? Now that's just totally out of character... even for her.

But this is just silly speculation. I just wanted to take a wild guess. :3

[Spira]

lol you do have a point..
pretty plausible theory..

since when was she this nice right?

i look forward to the rhyme fest

edit: also.. come to think of it.. the legend torn.. ?

SE would do something so cliche as this. it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was it.

Who cares, it's all about what reward we get for TEN DOLLA

[Shenrien]

Who cares, it's all about what reward we get for TEN DOLLA

yeah I cant wait to see what the reward(s) will be, I'm guessing it'll be a split between pants and feet and you gotta choose one or the other.

all I can say is, if it has movement speed +% on it ...yay

[Aemora]

Music is pwn.

[Not Kuno]

That was... pretty bad.

[Xanthe]

Awesome music is awesome.

[Gergall]

The trailer says the content will be available with the upcoming version update.

However, the trailer also says "October 2009". I guess they were originally trying to release the update in October before deciding to push it back to November.

[D44kpunk]

i guess i have different taste than everyone else, i thought the trailer was horrible

[Corrderio]

Looked bleh to me, mostly since I hate Shantotto with a passion.

That means the preorder comes in the last week or two of October, and the update comes the first week of November.

[Seanr]

eh... *shakes hand*

[Cesaria]

Considering I love Shantotto... not impressed.

[grantlogan]

Trailer was a bit brief but yeah..music was fantastic.

[Yeager]

I just hope in the final battle, I get to beat the living shit out of Shantotto. Don't care if it's her "Dark Shantotto" version or whatever, I hate that lil' taru bitch with a passion.
