PS3 RPG time. Sega seems to have done good with this. It comes out tomorrow, so who's getting it? Who even knows about it or tried the demo on PSN?

The battle system is different, and it's been praised by critics so far.

I'm going to snatch this fucker on Friday and get some actual PS3 RPG time in.

Yup, been keeping my eye on this one as well. Maybe I'm just starved for a decent current gen JRPG, but I'm not going to wait for the price to drop on Valkyria to get it.

The big draw for me with this game is the battle system. I like the idea of having a truly tactical battle system, not just in the sense that I order my characters to do things before they do them, but the fact that it's got that gritty war style to it. Hiding characters in bushes, sniping from towers, busting through enemy lines with tanks and controlling infantry sounds really satisfying and is a refreshing step away from Final Fantasy Tactics.

Ran the demo, fell in love with the game. Its easily one of the more interesting games around. I wouldnt call it a true RPG, but a lot of fun none the less. I love the anime feeling of it, almost comic book alive feel.
