Rogue's Galaxy -- Initial Impression.

Since I have roughly a month to kill, and that being a lot of time, I'm going to tackle another RPG for my next game. I'll be playing Rogue's Galaxy for the PlayStation 2, as always, via the PlayStation 3. Rogue's Galaxy is an action RPG developed by Level-5. You might know Level-5 from their PlayStation 2 efforts of Dark Cloud, and Dark Cloud 2. And of course Level-5 was handpicked by Yuji Horii to develop the fabulous Dragon Quest VIII under the supervision of his company Armor Project. They've also got their hand in the Professor Layton trilogy, and the upcoming Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS. And they've got White Knight Chronicles in development for the PlayStation 3. Based on my time with Rogue's Galaxy, I'm not entirely sure what to expect. I do know there's an action battle system that pauses for menu navigation and the like. The controls feel a little floaty to me at the moment. But that might just be me being behind the learning curve. So far the game seems pretty enough. Great celshading in the characters. The voice work also seems like it's going to be better than average. Hopefully there is a great tale of adventure waiting to be found with fun gameplay and characters that aren't bogged down in existentialism. Of course time reveals all...
