i want to believe but i can't. level-5 are kings of story distinguished mentally-challenged and are, for some reason, obsessed with clowns. the new trailer that went up had a dude putting on some sort of corny-ass clown mask at the end of it. WTF.
also dark cloud 2 bored the living fuck out of me.
that said, they know what they're doing, and with refinement coming in each of their games, it could be very promising. i like that you can generate your own character, and i really hope there are some options there. i wonder what it means to the game/story. probably not a lot, but hey.
