I though of Odin's Sphere right at the beggining. The sprites/models and the world looks great, but the UI (shop and dialog boxes) and character portraits don't look that great. I'm also worried that the game will be HARD. It certainly won't be another Braid, but it looks solid enough to be a hit.

Knowing it's made to appeal to the furry audience let's me know this game will be lacking in an original story. Furries tend to copy and paste everything they think is cool and just put anthropomorphic characters instead of humans. Which would be fine but like the majority of furries I'm sure they will put some love interest and sexual themes among this which I would not be able to relate to considering the characters. Thus breaking the immersion and leaving the game flat and uninteresting.
But that's my personal opinion.
Hooray for the Rich Gallup mention! Also this game looks AMAZING, just goes to show you what a powerful console like the 360/ps3 can do with 2d graphics, just wished that it came out as XBLA and not XNA (lack of achievements)
I don't know why so much bashing is going on if the gameplay turns out good why does it matter if it has a furry ?
"Furry" (not "furrie") typically refers to furry fans, people who like these anthropomorphic depictions of people. It's not the same as anthropomorphism itself; it just refers to the fans." @PureRok said:
" @Seedofpower said:No, it's furrie. "" Furrie animals killing other furrie animals. Meh, I'll pass. "I think the proper term is anthropomorphic, not "furrie" (sic). "
There's nothing inherently wrong with anthropomorphism, but most people's exposure to the culture focuses primarily on the sexual aspects (such as yiffing). A study on the subject revealed that only 2% had an interest in zoophilia/bestiality, and less than 1% have an interest in plushophilia; so it's actually uncommon among furries. I find it unlikely that the game's creators fall into either category.
