Brilliant! Loving the direction Mistwalker has taken with this project, and the inclusion of online is icing on the cake!

Im guessing thia will go down as wiis best RPG for its entire cycle. It looks amazing but it wont get the sales it deserves.

As long as the single player isn't sacraficed to fit in the online I have no problems with this.

Could end up being the best JRPG this gen for all home consoles by the looks of it.
Though that wouldn't be a particular tough challenge I suppose Smilie

This will probably be the best 3rd party title for Wii and the best RPG. This keeps looking better and better... its almost too good to be true.

I don't care if this is online. I'm just excited about single player. Many times, in games like these, the multi-player seems tacked on. Hopefully it will be ok for all those who want to play it.
