[PS2] Rogue Galaxy

I just got a demo of it in the mail on Friday. It's not too bad, nothing mind blowing in my opinion but it's solid. To me it was basically Skies of Arcadia in space and Dark Cloud 2. I hated the fact that the demo was timed, I was in the middle of a boss fight and it just ends. One thing that did bug me were the so called 'live chat' where characters spout off one-liners that are supposed to help you. That's great except they would often say things that are completely irrelevant to the situation at hand. It just became more annoying than useful.

The demo also included a trailer which piqued my interest. I've grown weary of Japanese RPGs in that they are the same cookie cutter formula when it comes to story and don't offer much in character development or plot driven stories. I like the idea of exploring the universe, though I hate the fact that the space craft are litteraly sea craft that just fly. Unfuckingoriginal.

I'll probably pick this up when it comes out, I don't expect much from it. It'll be a solid game, but not something to jizz your pants over.

Oh yeah, the demo came with a pirate flag that looks pretty cool and a poster too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
