Wow, what an improvement over the old version of "all you see is the enemies" type battles. This game is pretty sweet thus far. I'm playing the Japanese version right now so have no idea what the story is, but damn, the graphics, the item making, the battle system all get thumbs up!
I've logged 10 hours over 3 days already...anybody else playing this? I'm going to get the US release for sure, so I at least know what the story is really about, no making stuff up with my half-aszed Japanese.
