@Ineedaname: No he was talking about the Video Review for Ratchet that went up and never worked. I guess they took it down and plan to put it up later today or later in the week.

This looks... pretty bad. I agree with Brad on the character designs, it looks like someone puked all over the cast from FFX.
 
And I hated the cast of FFX.

Brad could have easily been describing Xenogears when he was talking in the beginning of the game.
 
"Amnesiac is taken in during a civil war in which both sides are excavating technology..."
 
Or maybe I'm just an uber-Xenogears fanatic.

I'm with Vinny, when I first clicked on this to watch it I thought it was going to be a RTS or something along those lines. Combat does look like it could pretty fun, and make you think about what you are doing with the overheat effect.

I'm about halfway through the game now and it took me a while to warm up to it.
 
I was hating the game at the start and flipped through a lot of the dialogue, but it does get more interesting as the game progresses. The game overall reminds me a lot of FF12.
 
You basically need to sink in about 6 hours before you understand what's going on and begin to care. I never imagined it when I rented this game that I would want to actually finish it.

But yeah, I'd rather spend 40 hours looking at Kim's art books.  Seeing them in motion doesn't really improve the experience, sad to say.

Next time do a little research, the overheating is your character over exerting himself, later on you will control multiple characters switching between them putting similar burden on each to prevent any from overheating. 
 
How do i know that?
I don't even want the game, i don't even work with games, it's a little tiring seeing brad give potentially good games a bad impression when all he has to do is pay attention a little bit.

And they wonder why Japanese development is dying.  The same old clichés and game mechanics from games on the NES, along with character designs that get worse and worse as the years go by.  Very Gaysian.

Great to see so many people jumping on the "OMG lawlz jrpgs are so lame and cliche" bandwagon. 

Anyway, this particular game doesn't seem to be that good.

This + combat just wasn't fun from what I played of it + the story , as someone already said, sounds like it could have been ripped right out of Xenogears only without the depth or endearing characters or crazy plot twists or religious undertones.

Just shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about. "Gaysian"? Really?

The game looks atrocious. Nothing but another poorly made, generic JRPG or KRPG, whatever you wanna call it.

Everyday i find new wemen to love! Yesterday it was princess robot bubblegum, today it was these three ladies...these two ladies, looked again(i lifted the skirts or whatevers!) 
 
Strangest body proportions I have ever seen. The Bad Guy was an effective bad guy in one scene, though,  unfortunatly eventually he`d get old too i suspect.
