OH WOW, super surprised to see this up already. Usually the video review is late to the party. NICE!
dude WHAT
Great review Dave. I really want this game now. I will buy it much much later though, maybe in 2010... don't have the money.

I'm interested, but I've never really played a WRPG before (unless FO3 counts?), so don't know what to think.
For me the appeal of RPGs has always been the story and the character development. Obviously an open-ended game like this can't have the character development that a JRPG has, but I've heard promising things about the main storyline in this.
Probably will give it a try with the favourable review. I was initially turned off by the more open-ended main character and the lackluster graphics (It helps with the immersion, and is often a sign of how much effort went into a game). However, this review made me think it may be worth a try as a forray into the WRPG genre. Maybe it'll sway me, who knows.

Wow, Dave, you're every bit as good a video reviewer as Jeff and the rest. Very nicely done.

The more I see and hear from Dave the more I love him. Is he considered part of the gang yet? How long before we start saying "Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Brad, and Dave?"
So weird to see Dave on a video review... Not unpleasant mind you just weird.
