I'm kinda been interested in this game.
How's the combat?
How's the combat?
Watched the stream. The launch edition box is pretty big. They do a comparison with other atlus titles at about 56 mins into the stream.
They mentioned an upcoming interview detailing the western changes. This is probably the most interesting information they can tell us before release. The other being (based on how much people comment on it in Legend of Legacy threads...) is why the game's title was chosen, which they said they would find out for us.
You can also hear some of the english voice over for the narration for the first time I think?
I was honestly on the fence about this game because I've never played a Saga game. Tried one for the first time just because I really wanted to justify preordering that launch edition. I'm in love with Saga...I can't believe I never played the series. If it is anywhere near as good as Romancing Saga, this might be my 3DS goty.

So if I preorder from Best Buy I'll get the launch edition with the art book right?
Yes.
Here is the uploaded stream for those miss it.

I made a thread about it, but from the look, I guess the game doesn't get that much attention here as well.

This game will be my first SaGa experience too, don't know if it a good starting point or not, but Im still pretty excited anyway.
Babbles on incoherently about freedom of exploration....
Proceeds to map screen where location is selected.
Sigh, should have known.

The last I heard from Atlus during their stream of this game, they were saying they couldn't go into details about the gameplay changes yet. Well, they still have time to do so before the game comes out.

I'm wondering if it's going to be a Class of Heroes style "I felt this spell was too easy so we nerfed it" sorta thing, or if it's going to be a "we added a speed slider to the combat to make grinding easier" sorta thing.
Or hey, maybe they censored some fanservice or religious elements or something and just don't want to deal with the backlash until the game's out?
^ Yeah, I thought it would be popular since it's an RPG. And aren't most Atlus games hugely popular?
Kind of frustrating because it makes it hard to find any info on the game beyond the basic shit. It's not just NeoGAF that's been quiet about this game.
I pre-ordered it, but I'm glad a demo is coming out. I'll be checking it out and I can always cancel the pre-order if I hear something stupid about the game. I just want a game where the map is fun to explore. ):

I never saw that thread as that would have been good news to hear. What's funny is I'm sure someone else will make the same thread that'll get more traffic.
Freedom of exploration doesn't always mean explore an open 3D world. That's just one of the most common ways games convey freedom to the player.
The freedom in Saga games is more about how you progress through the game since there is no set path. I'm not entirely sure how reaching the end of the game works in Legend of Legacy, but in some Saga games you can skip entire story lines, major quests, towns/dungeons/areas and characters and still reach the end of the game. There were very few mandatory quests or areas. You have to complete a certain amount of quests, battles or areas to move forward but it didn't matter which ones you did. It was left up to the player to explore the game's world and decide how they want to finish it.
The changes are suppose to be based off feedback from the Japanese release, so I don't think it has to do with censorship and more likely with the difficulty.
Does anyone here know what other criticisms Japanese players had about the game?

I have it preordered but my hands are full with Etrian Odyssey Untold 2. Tales of Zestiria and Disgaea V will be taking priority over this game sadly.
Reviews have been kind of middling but the negative aspects of the game brought up by reviewers seem to be features lifted directly out of Saga Frontier. Aside from the chibi art style this seems right up my alley.

So, is anybody playing this? Reviews are really disappointing. My copy is at home waiting for me, but I might just send it back to Amazon. Generic plot, uninteresting environments, and mind-numbingly boring grinding are not my jam.
