Yura plays so well...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Must. Have. This. Game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This looks like it's going to be an awesome game. I haven't felt this excited for a videogame in quite some time, let alone an RPG.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I share everyone's excitement. This game looks fresh, amazing and a wonder to play.

I haven't been excited like this for a long time. Watching the game play video's, when you select an item in battle, it seems to use the ring system ala Secret of Mana. When I saw that I almost wet my pants.

I really want this game. I have it pre-ordered, and I can't wait to pick it up.

FELIPE NO

I hope Atlus does something special for pre-orders. I haven't heard anything thus far on the GameStop side of things, though.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I would pre-order for a bonus. As it stands I'm probably going to buy my copy when my cousin goes to pick up his pre-order. I can't see a point unless I get something extra, I doubt it's going to sell out...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Last I heard, there was an artbook bonus for japanese folks who preordered but I've heard *nada* about any such extras for preorders on this side of the pacific.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To be safe, I'd pre-order it. If you're gonna pick it up anyway, it doesn't hurt. But I don't think we're getting very many copies of it outside of pre-orders (for real this time; I realize we say that a lot in GameStop, but Atlus games never come in multiples of 10 or even 5 :/).

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

After seeing that last trailer, I'm even more excited than I was a week ago, which means I am now simply ecstatic! I can't believe it's coming so soon, but be certain, I'll have this puppy on lock-down by the end of this week. It just looks too great not to pre-order, and why shouldn't I? I'm going to buy it anyways on it's release date.

I'm just thankful that it's coming out when it is, which is a week after my finals. What a way to kick of the summer, eh?

Alright, thanks to duckroll @ NeoGaf, we've got Famitsu's Odin Sphere review score and comments:

- Great directing with powerful music and voices, there's quite a lot of volume in the game
- Lots of loading
- Lots of stages look the same
- In some of the boss fights there appears to be slowdown

9/9/7/7 - 32/40

Clearly not the 10/10 godsend that Play made it out to be, that's for sure.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Still, a couple of nines from Famitsu is nothing to scoff at. I guess it just goes to show that I was kinda right about Play's review there. I'm willing to bet gamerankings will average it at about 80 or so after all is said and done.

Oh, I'm definitely not slamming it. I just pointed out that it was unlikely Play's 10/10 review would be the consensus on this one. But yeah, I'm definitely expecting some solid 80-85 scores across the board. The difficulty and slowdown are two things that'll probably be of note in other reviews, too.

FELIPE NO

Already pre-ordered my copy, can't wait. I get back from my trip they day of release too, couldn't be better =P

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

*drool* This game looks amazing... I just saw an article about it when Qwarky sent me this way... I know what I'm going out to reserve tomorrow! ^_^

How ya doing, buddy?

k. I reserved it. Now I gotta figure out how to come up with the money to pay off the difference .

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Boosting Atlus sales ++

Keep preordering guys!

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

Pre-ordered my copy in full today. I think that maybe I shouldn't have yet, because now the anticipation seems almost unbearable.

Ah well, only 8 more days until I get my hands on a copy of this almost certainly awesome game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Can't wait for this. Damn, there's just so many good games coming out this month. Art of Fighting Anthology, Odin Sphere, Ouendan 2, Dawn of Mana, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, and Etrian Oddysee. I might even be forgetting something.

Etrian Oddysee actually looks a lot like Odin Sphere.

You mean the art style?

Because the gameplay is completely different.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, the art style. It's a first person RPG so of course it's different.

FELIPE NO

Duckroll just posted some shots of the artbook for the game. They definitely look sweet, but either they didn't take very many pics or it's not that long.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh yeah it's almost time! I'm stoked. Too bad Hawaii stores won't get their shipments till tomorrow.

Most amazing jew boots

In this game, sheep grow on trees.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Where did you think they came from? Reproduction? Get real.
