I wouldn't say no, though who knows when I'd actually get around to playing them.  :P

Anyone decided on who they'll go after first, based on the introductions and demo playthrough?  I'm thinking Fuuko, myself.  Not sure why besides the fact that she just seems so charmingly normal (relatively speaking, of course).  I guess I'm weird that I go for either the normal girls or the crazy ones (bonus points if they end up being both).

A lot of games I've played with multiple options on who I can end up with generally tends to lack a harem ending, or at least are so well hidden that I never managed it.  Granted I haven't played many so I'm sure I'm missing out on quite a bit.

Thinking about it now, I agree that a harem ending wouldn't be out of place considering you have to make each of the girls happy to create good units anyway.

When Grandia first came out for the Sega Saturn and I imported it, I was ashamed because it was all in Japanese and I couldn't explain to any of my roomates what was going on in the story.  The game was (and still is) awesome, so I regret nothing nowadays.

Nowadays, I think I might be ashamed of liking anything released by Working Designs.  Particularly the Lunar series, Growlanser Generations, and Vanguard Bandits.  They're all great games, but I also know that the localizers knowingly (and at times gleefully) went off the original script and displayed a lack of restraint when it came to their twisted sense of humor.  I hang around the anime/JRPG purist community enough that I do at times feel bad for liking those games when I should condemn Vic Ireland and his staff to eternal burning for mucking up the original script.  Then I have to remind myself that I just don't care, because WD's work made what would likely have been a dull script actually entertaining.

Huh.  Not what I would have expected, to be honest.  Not that the option is unwelcome...

I'd love to see another Wild Arms game, but I haven't liked where the writing for the past few have gone.  Not that any of the games ever were high literature to begin with, but I'd felt lukewarm towards the storytelling in 4 and 5.  I never did get around to finishing XF...

Thanks, that is encouraging.  I've found myself liking a few of the girls based on Atlus' introductions and the demo, though there isn't anyone i particularly dislike, either.

I wonder if ending number 9 would be a "Sad" forever alone ending, or a "Nice Boat" ending...

Played the 3DS demo and actually enjoyed it, even though it was a glorified tutorial that just barely gave you a dip into the pool.  Preordered it as soon as I was done.

I guess I'm weird in that I actually enjoyed the English voices.  The dialogue in games like these are usually going to be excessively campy, though that's not always the case, so I just roll with it.  That usually helps in games like this unless I find the acting really terribad. 

I'm still wondering if each of the girls have their own story or endings, or if they're just fun little archetypes to make babies with and save the world, though.

As if my avatar didn't make it obvious: Maya Schrodinger.  Classy dresser, badass adventurer, and a total bibliophile.  What more could I ask for in a waifu?

EDIT: And because why not for husbando material, I'd take Gilder from Skies of Arcadia.  I'd dance for him anytime.  Too bad he never stays still long enough to be caught.  :P

I was worried for a while because all I heard about was "SHINY GRAPHICS!!!".  Seeing some gameplay has made me feel a lot better about this game.

That silver-haired chick looks like trouble.  I like her already.

I work at an airport  coffee shop and there have been days when I have gotten several tags at a time.  The "rebuilding Norende" bonus was unlocked very quickly.  I only spent a few days playing the demo seriously when I brought my 3DS to work with me, so I was at about 31 (including the freebie from the demo) by the time I completed everything in the demo.

Makes me wonder what it'll be like when I play the full game seriously.

Now that I'm at a point in the demo where I can power-level my classes, this is starting to become a whole lot of fun.  More options to customize my characters with is always a good thing.

So is the demo pretty much all grinding fetch quests and streetpass tags (for rebuilding Norende)?  Or am I missing something plot-related that I'm actively supposed to do?  It's fine either way since it's just a demo and I'm actually enjoying it a lot (it's been a while since I've played something like FFV or Tactics).  I'm just wondering if there is something specific I'm supposed to be doing in order to complete the demo or get whatever bonuses carry over to the main game (if any).

I need a Doctor.  I might've just exploded from the awesome.  Seriously, this had to happen!

w00t!! 

Very happy to see this!
