A few interesting tidbits:

Quote:
- 11 party members total
- Characters known thus far: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, Big the Cat

- no random battles, enemies can be seen
- turn-based fighting. Make attack selections for all characters before the animations continue
- special attacks play out like Elite Beat Agents

Eggman not the main villain. But Bioware wants to make him a creditable bad guy again. Something about a “twist” between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games.

- 2 acts: Sonic-themed areas and darker worlds


More in the above link, of course.

It looks like it might turn out promising. BioWare makes good RPGs, so I'm confident that it's in good hands. ...Well, better hands than Sonic Team, anyway.

Big the Cat is by far the greatest character to appear in a Sonic game EVER. And believe it or not, Flavio's not joking when Flavio says this. Amy's okay, but Flavio does agree about Shadow.

Well, it's not like Amy's bound to be a Damsel in Distress, just like Princess Peach. She's too short-tempered for it! And Shadow's more Chaos-Skill dominant.

Sonic RPG? Meh, might be worth a try.

I've been waiting for news on this forever. I trust Bioware to make a good RPG of course, I'm just not sure if they can make a good Sonic RPG. By that I mean I don't think they are capable of making an RPG that has the same feeling as a Sonic game. Mario RPGs added the extra button press to do more damage, an obvious nod to the platforming titles. This EBA type dealie might work, but I have my doubts.

I hope this game is good. Back in the Genesis days, I was a big fan of the Sonic franchise. However, most of the modern Sonic games suck, and I would like to see the series regain some of its glory, instead of dying. An RPG would be a unique twist on the series, and it is in the hands of a developer that knows how to make RPGs. Again, I really hope that this turns out good.

As long as Sega has absolutely nothing to do with it, I'll get it. This might be Sonic's saving grace.

HECK YEAH! If Sega and/or Sonic Team doesn't interfere, this could end up being a great game. It would seem Sega is FINALLY starting to realise that Sonic Team has nearly killed the franchise. This could be Sonic's return!

At least Sonic is going in a different new direction. Hopefully we'll get more info on this game soon

Finally, Sonic takes another step to copy Mario, and for once, it's a good step.

I might actually buy this, which would be the first Sonic game I've purchased in five years.
