I  was kinda interested until I got to gameplay footage. Now I'm baffled - I don't know what I'm looking at.
 
So, I'm at least interested.

I think it looks like a pretty cool concept and the gameplay seems original.
So there.

God, the game itself looks interesting...
 
But sweet Jesus that was bad. Like I could just take this whole trailer and put a sticker on it that says "THIS IS WHY PEOPLE THINK ANIME SUCKS SO MUCH!"

It's from PlatinumGames, not Sega, Sega re only publishing the game.

Indeed. Why can't JRPG grow up?! I loved JRPG's when I was 14, but not so much now when I'm 24. The Western video game industry has understood that the players are getting older, but the Japanese industry still believe everyone playing games are under 16.

The worst part for me was his ship casting out a sonic boom-like shockwave in SPACE from the FTL tech. Q_Q

You got generic teenage anime bullshit in my sort-of-interesting space game.
 
Thanks?
 
EDIT: And it's based on an Arthur C. Clarke book, that's even worse somehow.

Which is pretty damn fast considering our tech. "
If you want to enter the realm of our own tech it would be impossible (you have infinite mass at the speed of light). My point was that if you're gonna go sci-fi you might as well go all the way and go 1000 the speed of light so you don't spend 100 years going between inhabited star systems. 
 
Mission 1: You are 15. You leave Earth.
Mission 2: You arrived at the closest inhabited star system. You are 50 years old. 
Mission 3: You died from old age before reaching another inhabited star system.

Ha... ha... ha... Oh man, that was terrible, but I've seen worse DS game trailers.
 
By the way, I wonder why Ryan was the one who posted this given his stance on anime and all that.

I would be totally disinterested if it weren't Platinum Games developing this. 
 
Now I'm a liiiiittle bit curious. Imagine that.
