Wario's new screenshots increased my interest level by quite a few notches so that I may actually buy this game, but I'm still hugely shocked by the awful environment textures..

As much as you've played Jade Empire.

Regardless, Fatumi, the fact that Squeenix felt the need to fall back on the crutch of the effeminate man-child main character has doomed the game for me. I understand that is what is appealing in Japan, and that is the market that must be appeased for FF games to succeed, but I do not appreciate the continued cliched characters that Square recycles for it's games. I initially had very high hopes for FF XII, but when I saw the main character most of them died.

I read somewhere a few months ago that Matsuno-san created FFXII with the aim of making Balflear the lead character, (there's some Ashley Riot in him); yet the suits said "Nope, create a fem-bot for the lead role. I like swords. Give him one of those to wield. Yup."

I'm still not quite sure why he doesn't call their bluff; they don't really have much high-profile talent left from the Square side of the company any more to take over...

Your post made me sad.

Doesn`t this game have real time fighting, like Shenmue? None of that menu crap bullshit fighting like in most lame japanese RPG`s? How in the fucking hell can people like that crap? It`s torture to play that shit.

The only thing I don`t like is that this Jade Empire seems to use magic crap. That sucks.
