Each movie is about 24 MB, and nearly identical... both are worth watching, but don't bother dling BOTH if you don't have a cable connection

Incredibly slow download speeds on those...got any mirrors?

I'm actually looking forward to this game. I'm not really an RPG fan, but the style of the game is so refreshing, and the amount of acclaimed people who are working on it is intruiging. I might even end up buying it, provided reviews are up to snuff.

Curses, with my crap-tastic connection that would take me an hour or so...

Regardless, I have only heard so much about this game (just the name really), so these pics are enough for me. Seeing all those people who've participated with such great RPG's makes me wonder what it is even more, I'll have to look deeper into it. Do any of the major (english) gaming sites have news regarding plot and such?

Tsukasa: I don't know any sites with much information... IGN has SOME, but not much. Try www.rpgamer.com

Incredibly slow download speeds on those...got any mirrors?

Not that I know of, but they're from the official Nintendo site (Japanese) so they should be all over the place. Try www.gametrailors.com

You misspelled www.gametrailers.com

I actually got them after using my download accelerator. They're pretty similar, but still pretty good looking. Some of the motion in the cutscenes looks a little fake, though, particularily the running. Minor gripe, though.

Is there an expected release date? And is it also coming out in the outer reaches of the world?

One thing for sure, the music is/will be fantastic.

Chuc: There is no US(or PAL) release date yet, although it will be released outside of Japan.

Searanox: yeah, some of the CG scenes look a bit... off. Not enough frames, their movements are too sudden.

Chuc: Sometime late next year.
I know for sure that this game is gonna rock. But those downloads would take like 4 hours literally on this comp. So in the meantime I'll just continue to stare at the same of like 10 other Baton Kaidos movies over and over (or I'll give up and play some tactics advance)...

Are these the trailers with te song "SHINING OVER YOU" by hyde in them? I know little to nothing about the game, just that his song is featured in some of the trailers.

Ah, another Japanese RPG game... I might give it a shot, I'm always trying to like RPGs, so this can be my first try... I also know exactly what persons are going to post in this thread

This site has both the intro movie for the game, some gameplay footage, and, most importantly, some MP3s. And this game's music is absolutely fantastic. Which is to be expected, with Sakuraba composing it.

Mercutio: I believe so.

Thanks l-o-s ill check there, as soon as Im done with the Mp3's. ^_^
I couldnt resist those.
So far I just have the battle theme and its pure greatness!!! Another hour or so and Ill have 'em all done.
Thanks for the link.

-edit-
Holy Crap! Monolith is making this!?
If the Xenosaga team is working on it, then I have no doubts whatsoever about this games greatness.

:::had them all done in four minutes... <_<:::

hehe, yeah, they all rock. the battle theme gets wonderful at about 2:03, just GREAT... ^_____^... never knew someone could put violin into a battle theme and have it kick such butt...

i think the forest battle is my favorite, though...

Imsure this is point less. But im downloading it. So ill be able to say what i think of it soon.

Nothing better to do, so I spent FOREVER downloading the trailer. I didnt see any probs with the framerate, but maybe I just wasnt paying close enough attention.
*watches again*
Yeah, when theyre running I guess it looks a touch fake....
Anyways it looks awesome and I cant wait til the game comes out in spring!
