Now, I'd never heard of this until I just happened to come across it earlier today on IGN's front page.
It's an RPG from the makers of Dragon Quest VIII, and it looks bitchin'
IGN page: http://ps2.ign.com/objects/729/729765.html
Gamespot page: http://uk.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/roguegalaxy/index.html?q=rogue%20galaxy
I really like the idea of seamless battle screens (Think Chrono Trigger style battles), the sorta-cell shaded graphics, and the action based battle mechanic.

There are apparently a number of different worlds to visit during your quest, which hopefully means that the game will be huge.
For some reason, this RPG has me really excited. Discuss.

IGN has the launch date set at Janary 30th 2007, whereas Amazon.com has the launch date listed as March 31st 2007. I would be more inclined to trust IGN, but they also have the Europe release date set as September 30th 2006, when we all know that such an awesome game will never get released over here.
IGN has 15 minutes of video up. It's action based, like ToS, but the battles are based in the game world that you're running around in, not in a separate screen.
Also, another fantastic thing this RPG has: When the "mysterious but awesomely powerful dude" steps in to help you out, he's actually powerful (He's at level 20 when you're at level 2). Unlike in Tales Of Symphonia where when Kratos steps in to help you, he's only like level 5 or something stupid.
Oh, that's funny. I heard the game is really hard at the start.
It's a JRPG, yet the main character sounds like a man. What's more, he looks quasi-manly?
Are we going to stand for this? I, for one, am not. I demand the protagonist be changed to a 13 year old boy that looks like he shares a wardrobe with his sister!
[spoiler:b1803f2849]Lies. It's nice to see a console JRPG that isn't full of that bishounen bullshit.[/spoiler:b1803f2849]
Screw that. Makers of Dark Cloud 2.
I don't know what Dark Cloud 2 is, because I only got a PS2 a couple of months ago. I'm still new to the system, damn it!
I found it kind of funny that the character is running across town, and comes across a bridge that's been destroyed. Now, usually in an RPG, some NPC says "Sorry, the bridge is out! You'll have to stay in this low-level area and finish some bullshit quest before we can get it up again!"
But the main character just jumps off one side of the bridge, swims across, and climbs up the other side. Leads me to wonder why the bridge is out in the first place if you can just cross by swimming.
EDIT: Also, this game appears to have fantastic voice acting.
I cry that you don't even know what it is though...
And didn't you play Oregan Trail!? There's so many ways to cross a river.
You only load once per play session. Everything after that streams. Costume changes are in, tons of weapons. Everyone has melee and ranged weapons, and they're all unique to the character. Jaster has pistols, while Zegram has shuriken, etc.
I've been looking forward to this since it was announced in Japan. I can't wait.
Here are some Japanese videos from the JP site: http://www.level5.co.jp/products/new/roguegalaxy/movie/tgs2005.html#
Click around the rest of the site to see weapons and costumes and a ton of screens.
Double-sided DVD PS2 games.. FTW? Silly Japanese and their one-sided game. Hoho.
It's doublesided? Isn't that.. unprecedented?

I think he means dual layered.
Japanese one used only 1 layer.
(Just waaay too excited for this game. ^^)
The voice was really familiar, until I realized it's Will Friedle (Boy Meets World, Batman Beyond, Advent Rising.) I always liked his voice acting. The rest sounds really well done too.

Yeah, this game will be a day-one purchase if I can swing it.
I never asked for this!
Hence, I'm reserving judgement until I hear something on that aspect.
IT'S GOT PIRATE SHIPS IN SPACE!
The story could be absolute shit, and you'd still buy it.
EDIT: Just incase it doesn't come out in Europe: Can you save US and EU game saves onto the same Memory Card on a PS2?
Edit: After watching the videos, the dialogue needs a lot of work.
However, I think it looks shit-hot.
I am all over this as soon as it hits shelves.
Why? It's part of the name.
It was awesome.
