Never played any of these games, never heard of them, not really my genre generally. At least not a lot of the really over the top, anime-insane ones that seem to be the common trend for the last decade or so. But, this one, it's those 2 specific characters, I admit that's really all that's got my attention currently. The rest of the cast, and the villain, feel cringeworthy to me. But I love staff combat, and I love clerics, and I love paladin/tanks. So, the various shots of those 2 doing their thing and being cool is...compelling. That's probably not the best metric to buy a game...."I like 2/10 of the roster of characters" We'll see though.I'll need to see some long gameplay footage, it looks nice but ever since I've played tales of grace R I haven't been able to enjoy one of those since the combat was a couple of head and shoulder above all the other entry, past or future.
