i was planning on grabbing this but the demo has turned me off it a bit.
-looks open but is actually a bunch of invisible wall corridors outside with a minimap on the screen.
-each area is small and you go through "doors" which are arbitrary points where you move from one area to another, i hate that shit.. really disjoints the experience.
-some slowdown when you have 5+ enemies and a glowy attack going on.
-alot unnecessary (imo) talking and moving around village etc in between what is basically a slow paced action game. described as an "action rpg" but seems more action to me.
-lots of crappy out of place looking "barriers" blocking off progress/paths. terrible japanese game design staple.
-i like keeping my ps3 controller cabled, why do i have to jerk the joypad around so much with certain enemies.
-terrible camera control, slow, no inversion options (might just be demo though it's japanese so prolly not) and often facing the wrong way.
+nice design/art in places.
+can collect heaps of different "folks" and combo them to a limited degree as you can have up to 4, one on each face button ala items in zelda.
+it's a demo of a new game, bout time.
seems pretty meh to me.
