I hadn't heard anything about this game until a few weeks ago, but after reading a little and checking out some of the videos, it looks pretty nice. Not counting Paper Mario, I haven't played a decent turn-based RPG since Earthbound and Chrono Trigger back in SNES days. I'm looking forward to playing this type of game on the GCN.

Apparently it comes out next Tuesday (1/28), so I wanted to start a thread to get people talking about it. I may pick this one up to hold me over until the Zelda pre-order disc gets here.

I might be picking it up. Always heard good things about it and I just finished Metroid and am looking for a nice lentghy game to hold me over until I get the Ocarina of Time preorder disc.

Already put down my pre-order for it, I sold my DC version long ago when I heard this was coming (the darn thing wouldn't even load anymore anyay), the extra quests sound pretty cool, especially a certain set of 3 characters pictured at the top of IGN Cube's preview . I suggest checking it out, they have a lot of good info.

I am buying it, it's an awesome game.

This game so rules

When the price goes down I will.

Probably not. At least not for a while.

I won't have time for something as involving as a RPG until this summer, as I start back at grad school Tuesday.

I'm a very casual RPG fan as well (i.e. really only play Final Fantasy games).

I'll will be picking this game up, but not till after I finish Zelda when it comes out. This games does rock by the way. I played about 8 hours of it on Dreamcast. But when I heard that it was coming to GC with added content, I decided to wait for it.

Only reason I really picked up the Cube.

I've already beaten the first version on the Dreamcast and I will pick up the Cube version. I'll probably wait till the price drops though since it won't be a totally new experience for me.

Yessir.

I probably will get it, but I need to finish Kingdom Hearts (which has trumped Metroid by a longshot) then finish the new Zelda. I should be able to finsh KH and Metroid before Zelda comes out. After that I'll be in need of a followon and Skies of Arcadia is #1 on my list.

It's been a great year for games.

Yessir.

I'll be picking this one up

And is there a Quake1028 echo in here

Nosir.

Yep.

yep

Oh god yes - this is SUCH an awsome game, it's painful. Way better than Final Fantasy. Cant wait to check out the new stuff.

I believe I might

Question.. is this an RPG where you can DO stuff (ie: Dragon Warrior) or an RPG where it's basically an animated storybook (ie: Final Fantasy) .. ?

It's by Sega right? So that's a good sign..

I'm planning on buying it, but not right away. Probably next month for me.

nope, got it on my DC and still works fine

Same here. However, if you haven't played the DC version I would definitely recommend it.

yes

This was the best RPG I have ever played.

My only complaint was that the random encounter rate was too frequent - but I heard that they lowered it for the GC version and made leveling up quicker to balance things out. This would make the game perfect - exept for the 2 year old graphics - which still look pretty good.
