IGN: Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Preview

Bad news guys... according to IGN, this game feels generic. Like Mario and Luigi generic.

This doesn't dissuade me since I avoided the more traditional RPGs like the plague, but hrrmmm...

But apparently you didn't avoid god awful cliches.

And Mario & Luigi was -fantastic-. If this game feels like that, more power to it. The only four characters bit is a pity. I like my TRPGs to have a wider cast, to allow for more tactical play, but whatever. I'm still sort of fired up for this.

Most amazing jew boots

I meant in battle.

And if you're trying to convince me that an RPG is good, I have a protip: Never compare it to FF VIII.

But yeah, only IV characters in battle is too bad. I like a few more options in my battles.

EDIT:

For some reason, I'd gotten it in my head that this was a TRPG, not a turn based standard JRPG thing. Ignore the 4 character argument.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, we'll just agree to disagree on VIII and move on.

Most? Well, you could technically control all of them in X, with the swap battle system. Same thing in Mana Khemia. 5 in SaGa Frontier. Six in the Suikodens...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
