Anyone tried it yet? I'm thinking of copping this, but I want to know if this is a gimmick or a true quality game. I'm contemplating spending the 15 bones on this, but that same 15 could get me Chrono Cross and Metal Gear HD Collection from the golden week sale (the only issue is that Metal Gear Collection takes hella space...might be better spending the extra 10 dollars on a disc so I can save the space on my PS3).

You're making the mistake of comparing a 15 dollar indie game to older games that had bigger budgets. Child of Light has so far been good but if you'd rather play older classics then that's up to you.

I'm not asking to compare them, I'm comparing prices for obvious reasons. I'm an RPG head, so a new rpg that's good would be worth a purchase but I keep seeing a focus on the "charm" and "artwork" rather than the gameplay or actual story. How's the combat, difficulty and plot? Those are what I care about. I can cop the classics whenever, but I'd rather not waste 15 bones if Child of Light is style over substance.

The combat isn't very deep, and difficulty on normal is pretty easy. I'm not too sure about the plot, I've only been playing for 10 minutes.

Aw man, I'll wait on a couple of updates after you've gotten a lil deeper. I'm thinking of copping just to support a creative concept for an RPG on the platform as it is, but I can wait a day or two...still working through FFX HD anyway.

no loot? no gear? :dahell: what kind of RPG is this?

think ill pass
There's no gear but you have oculi which you get after battles/ from chest, you can combine them in different ways to get different effects
I've been playing for like an hour or so, really enjoying the game and it's really beautiful.
I'm playing on Hard so I heard normal is easy and I suggest if you cop it do the same.
There's a demo that's pretty good at showing you the systems at play that I suggest you play if you're interested.
Me I'm enjoying myself money well spent
Edit: let me add that I'm not a huge RPG guy, I prefer WRPG and action RPG's to the old JRPG joints.
