I didn't know this came out yet. I enjoyed the first (the 10 or so hours I played) and this video review makes me want the sequel.

JRPG's get old fast for me when they aren't classic 2D or PS1 era, but I really want a fun jrpg that will also net me some cheevos. Games like Blue Dragon are tons of fun for their battle systems. They have that old school feel. Its just that the story was never compelling at any point. Its more like a SatAM cartoon, which they made based on the game so go figure. Anyway, I am just hopeful that this will be that game I am looking for.

Not enjoying the Star Ocean hate. I hope he's just talking about Star Ocean 3. I was thinking about getting Lost Oddessy at one point and he states that MagnaCarta2 isn't as good at that... but better than Star Ocean? Lost Oddessy must be a hell of a game.
