Re: Agito XIII and Versus XIII leaked gameplay
I don't know what FFXII has to do with Last Remnant, but stop talking nonsense about FFXII because I've called people on that shit before. Its not my problem if a few flowery words threw you off on that plot, but its far and away an example of something SE needs more of these days, not less.
FFXII had the right sense of scope and damn mature narrative. Its just weeaboos are too mentally underdeveloped to appreciate something that deviates more to western tastes. And ironically, many Japanese gamers consider FFXII the best recent FF. But then, they've become very accustomed the games with a lighter narrative and more exploration. Dragon Quest VIII, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest IX, more Monster Hunter.
Plus the "small fries" like Atlus, XSeed and others are really bringing out some strong games these last few years. They're bringing out more refined approaches to the traditional JRPG. Stories that are more progressive, mature and offer a good bit of that all-important freedom. No serious gamer looks at SE as the end-all/be all of RPGs anymore.
That aside, I see no reason to doubt Agito FFXIII at all. All SE's PSP offerings have been satisfying, though they've been far less plentiful than what they bring to the DS. Dissidia, Crisis Core and KH: BBS have all been excellent games that have pushed the limits of the PSP and that trend seems to be continuing with The 3rd Birthday and Dissidia 012 Duodecum.
And DQIX on DS more than proved you don't need an intense narrative and non-traditional experience, just quaint stories, customizable characters and loads of content to keep people happy.
