I can't imagine how much the dog is going to contribute to skits.  Aside from some ass-sniff joke or something.

Anyways...

Hi-ougi's look hawt

Secret missions should be a fun challenge

Attachments (the customizable, stats-upgrade-less stuff you can throw on characters) make you realise how much practise NamcoBandai got in rendering 3D things when making just about everything for the Katamari Damacy games.

Battle Linking will make things hard and interesting (if no a future reason I end up cussing at my TV screen)

And yay for voiced skits and opening this time!

Demo's are usually incomplete, Parn. =3
But I'm glad you took it for what it is. (free!) =D
I take the demo as a preview, the demo is clearly missing a few crucial things the current Tales games have, and its unlikely this team of developers would intentionally take a step back.

You know when little girls played "house" and play with baby dolls??  
This is like the dream stayed with them...till High School... and now for the rest of their lives.

My bias will kick in: I find most Tales battles arn't really fun to start with, but rather generic until you get second tier skills (that actually rack up damage), and get skills and learn everything (in Abyss; AD skills were god)

I for one, look forward to this.  And, as Dalucifer0 says; these games haven't disappointed me thus far. =)

I'm more concerned (if WA developers are involved) of "cheese" making its way into the script... oddly enough.  Gameplay (I'd like to think/hope) is in good hands with this team.

Sort of.  My concerns vary company to company.  

Capcom, for example, I become increasingly worried with each new installment to all 10 franchises they have (milked till its beyond commercially viable)

I thought it was fishy when more FFV13 screen were surfacing.
But good.  I really wanna know more about (lets face it) what still when helluva fucken trailer for FF13. =P

Impressive looking.
Never thought they'd make Wizard of Oz look cool. =P

Lets see how it does.  New Squeenix titles tend to be a hit (TWEWY) or a miss (Drag-on Dragoon).

I for one, am optimistic.  Yay for Last Reme..menement!

What bugs me most about that, is that she was a conscious decision.

Yeah, normally I'd find a good recipe for HP or TP and stick with it if anything....

The Incredible Hulk

Great cameos.  I remember them better than the dialogue.  It was so "meh"otherwise.

Hopefully they won't continue a trend for the trend's sake.

Most people are vying for an original story when it comes to the Tales' animations.  Eternia did do it right.  Learn.

Otherwise, yay!  Animation version.
With probably a new, pretty, ambient opening.

I'd like to see it, since (like Symphonia and the 2D Phantasia), in-game action sequences are pretty bland.

As much as I hate to say, I do think (if used properly) the amnesiac hero/heroine can be effective.

 A game character is kind of harder to sympathize with if they have a "they knew all along" attitude that they're the secret...to... fucken... destroying the world, or whatever plot-twist the game has.

Adding that sense of surprise works better for player and character.

The major think I didn't like about the plot-twist was how it fucks the series over for future sequels.  I heard that SO3 was to serve as the last one (don't quote me for accuracy on that though), so I guess its prequels from here.

The plot twist itself, to me, wasn't horrible... rather executed completely and horribly wrong.  The concept was fine, but the ending was on par with garbage.  Instead of some good, sci-fi-ish explanation for why everything happened, they resorted to one of those JRPG "power of heart/friendship/mind" saves the day".  GAY.
