Character Creation

[FerrousAradicen]

I take it there is none?

[Jorji Costava]

Yep, there are 6 playable characters you can mix and match in your party, like most JRPGs

[Thine Very Own, Nemesis~]

None
However this is a rare game where Character Creation being absent makes some sense
The stories between each character are pretty interwoven
it's one of the best things about the game

The other great thing is the Multiplayer (hint hint Square -.^ )

Each char also has 4 diff end classes that are different to each other

[FerrousAradicen]

Yeah well those characters are boring.

[Rookie_One]

No, YOU are boring

Ferrous you have no clue what you are talking about.

The main draw in this game is the characters and how each playtrough is different depending on the team you choose, it's all about these 6 characters and their stories.

The replay value in this game is insane, I've lost count on how many times I have played trough this.
Character creation would turn this into something different entirely and would kill much of what this game is about.

Combat in the original sucked though, you really only played this for the story,world,music and graphics.
I can't wait to play this with a good combat system this time.

Hard to imagine someone hating on the combat system in original other than for fact that it had a lot of pausing due to all the fancy skills/magic being used. I can understand that part as much ^^

[Risotto]

Imagine being 20 years late to a party, and saying its boring..

Whats the bet OP used to sniff glue.

It says you get to choose 3 characters from 6. The story changes depending on who you've chosen?

YEP YEP YEP~!

Basically, there's 3 end bosses/story routes, and one M/F pair for each storyline.

1. Kevin the barefisted half beastman monk & Carlie the half elven cleric.
   
2. Duran the sword and shield wielding knight & Angela the sorceress.
   
3. Hawk the knife wielding thief & Lise the spear wielding amazon.

[Quattro Baguette (Dzelgris)]

It's a remake of a 25 year old game that never had character creation to begin with. Why would they feel the need to break the original story by incorporating some hollow 'create-a-soul' who needs an absurd, afterthought subplot tacked on?

Which is a downgrade from the original where you picked two of the six and got their stories allowing for replay value.

Actually, the original allowed you to pick three characters of the 6, just like in this one. You play the introduction of the main character and the final dungeon and final boss depends on which main you pick. No downgrade. It's pretty much like in the original.

[mintiumheart]

no character creation. welp guess im not getting it

[Shadder]

Necroing this thread to say character customization is essential for an RPG. I would rather play as myself than a dull premade character. Only fat and ugly people can't relate.
