Buy! Buy buy buy!

It's an excellent game, one of the best JRPGs in this generation.

By the way, great response time EG. I've sent you the news mere seconds ago ;-)

...not to forget the recent announcement of "Makai Kingdom" and "Digital Devil Saga", two of the top 10 best (S)JRPGs ever.

Any relation to the Square title "Secret of Mana"?

To the best of my knowledge, none whatsoever.

Nope, based on the Atelier series of "alchemy" games by Gust. I think... :)

I know. It just would have been nice.

It was the second best RPG on 16bit.

I'm much more excited about this than I am about Katamari. :-)

Excellent! I'd happily buy this again if they clean up those bugs...

You mean the dreadful end of game bug some people have experienced? I have a worse one: the game started to hang after the Dolby Pro Logic logo if the cartridge with the savegame was insterted. It won't start without a cartridge either, so I had to have my other cartridge inserted in order to get the game running, then at the main menu swap it for the one with the savegame. Happened after around 10h of play, still messed up. :(

That sounds about right.. I haven't gotten so far but I have experienced the VO problems and one lockup (possibly incurred by skipping dialogue). Initially I thought it was only my copy that was glitching, the disc was scratched to f*ck when it arrived 'cause it wasn't seated in the box ~>:(

It's hard to imagine that Koei won't address these issues though, so I think I will just wait for the PAL version instead.
