Hmm.....I'm leaning toward the PS2 version since it has the included Mega Man X8 demo. Decisions, decisions......

Sounds like a good rental.

True....but must play MMX8 now! Even if it is only a sampler...heh.

Superior version of MMAC on the PS2? Not at all. Each one had their own individual weaknesses and strengths, it depended on what you were looking for.
The random encounter and penalty increase is very odd. Might be to offset the benefit of having the GBA feature.

60 > 30, and less loading = GC version. Wavebird = plus.

I'd like to hear that too. I didn't get the JP version... I've heard some bad things and some good things.

That could work.....but I'd feel funny seeing a GC MMX game on my shelf when all it's incarnates are on PS2.

But I like lesser visuals and lower framerates!!!!!!!!! I kid. Why must Capcom makes things difficult!???

Mag/Site reviews aren't going to cut it for niche JRPG's. Espically IGN.
It's a fun battle system, but I guess the latter is more correct. The lack of char development pissed me off. Also as it stated about the battles, they are easy :/ Even the secret ones, althoguh those are fun to attempt with some handicap. I thought of this game as a modest 8 myself. My impressions at first were to be as unbiased as possible, but of course in the end things are a bit different. But yeah, don't go in expecting a total all around good rpg.
edit: and hehe, what's tasteful about liking FFXI :3
Just read the EGM review and they did not take too kindly too it. The words, 'orthodox', 'perfunctory', and 'predictable competence' rang very loudly from each editor's perspective.
The kindest thing said on the page mostly involved "toastyfrog" reminscing about the team's glory day with Dragon Quarter. Oh and they all agreed the graphics were nice.

Guess after that debacle they wanted to play it as safe as possible with the fickle (ie: lacking taste) Japanese gaming public.
Blah...
Blah...
I got their exact review up here:

Ho-hum. How's the character building/dungeon crawling? Any unique bits on the side? I do want to try it, but I'm looking to place it into next year for me, and simply prepare for Nocturne.
"edit: and hehe, what's tasteful about liking FFXI :3"
Everything? It's one of the few redeeming factors for both Japan and Squaresoft this gen? It's world/mechanics/balance/content is both vast and polished and Squaresoft themselves have a hard-on for it resulting in massive developer attetnion/updates/fixes? I could write an essay on how it bitch slaps it's entire genre.
Someone as jaded and picky and ultimately judgemental as me doesn't pick up a game in a genre he hates, in a series he hates and declare it to be pure quality without massive reasons, I've written up about this like....a lot! OH SNAP.
Someday, I'll write a big ass review for it, and archive it, but for now. Naw. By the way, Kir. Don't you go nuts for Phantasy Star: Rape me up the Ass online? You shouldn't be talking.
Folken: As far as I remember, didn't EGM slam Dragon Quarter as well? I remember 6's, but who knows. Those just aren't the types of media outlets I look to for RPG information.

Alex: While that might be true, I'd be more hopeful if they did slam it instead of saying it was "predictable". I'll probably end up getting it anyway though...

what the fuck is capcom doing? Buying this though for the cube; as long as the combat frequency is not as bad as beyond the beyond or whatever the fuck that horrible RPG on the psone was; I'll be fine.

I'll get back to you on that later. My downfall to others would be liking/playing Ragnarok, which im doing so now so no time for a little more descript reply.
Green Giant: I advise not dashing too much. Though I didn't find the random battle rate too bad, and well I did want to get into battles as much as possible. Sooo....

Let me be the first to say: FUCK RANDOM BATTLES. Talk about taking a huge step back from Dragon Quarter. I know this has been known for awhile, but my hatred for all enemies unseen hasn't waned since I first partook of the delight that was Lufia II.

Or maybe they got lucky with BoFV and all their wacky ideas set together actually created a really great game.
Plus I think people may have been expecting too much from MMX:CM after 'over-hyped-rpg-of-the-generation' BoFV. Before all the BoFV hype set in, wasn't it scoring around the 8 range also?
