They already did that in Sonic 06. 
They did? where? when?
thats interesting john, anyway back on topic I wonder if one of sonics special attacks in chronicles will be turning super? that would probably help a lot in boss fights.
hmm...so the devil is a hedgehog...I Knew it! & elise looks more like a FF character then a sonic character, but yea, anywho, back on topic does anyone think that chronicles will be just as good as the mario rpg. I do, I mean bioware knows how to make a good game thats for sure!
I wouldn't think so. After all, Elise is a HUMAN, but enough about that.
To sort of answer your question, I don't think it would be fair to try and compare RPGs about two totally different video game characters. For one thing, Mario has had many years of experience in the RPG genre while this will be Sonic's first.
Don't get me wrong, Bioware's making this game look pretty good for a DS game.
True its not fair to compare i guess. But i have fatih that this will continue sonic's DS greatness, I mean its the only system that hasn't had a bad sonic game...that says to me that sonic & the DS were meant for each other. Now if only we could get a sonic rush 3 eh!
Nice trailer. Way better than the first one.

Maybe in the reality, but to disillusioned people, they will try to compare this game to whatever Mario RPG series there is. Thus, people will try to find petty or meaningless flaws in it and then complain that Sonic should 'stick to platforming.'
I think Sonic could branch out into the RPG genre, but I'm not entirely convinced that this game will be a great way to do it. Still say that it should have been more inspired by the Tales series, at the very least there wouldn't have been complaints about it being slow-paced for a Sonic game, and we would have received the closest thing to a "mothership" portable Tales in the West. 
As for the trailer, the music sucks and the general presentation kind of does too, like the NiGHTS:JoD did.
Trailer was alright. I'm with Ashide...the presentation was a bit off. But I do believe the game will be decent at the least. ten characters to choose from. Very nice. Big...ummm...why? lol
Because Big is freaking awesome. >:O
HAHAHAHA! You amuse me Toby. Amuse me. Big, not just awesome, but freaking. Although...now that I think about it...he was pretty sweet in Heroes.
>_>
The trailer has simeltaneously left me in horror over this game and somewhat intrigued. This intruige then dissolved into terror.
"Because Big is freaking awesome."
It's disappointing that the artwork of him is his main Sonic X promo art redrawn with small alterations (which in turn was a copy of a SA1 artwork with the same minor alterations!). Most of the Chronicles art seems to be existing works with tweaks, but it's worse when it comes to Big as he has so little official art in the first place. His blank expression doesn't help - it'd be nice to see art of Big with personality - looking surprised, confused - or heck, even sneezing or something. Anything rather than standing there staring blankly.
That trailer was AWSOME!!! im even more hyped for this game now...I don't know why people are worried..I mean when has Bioware ever let anyone down? when i ask you!?
^Some people say with Jade Empire, others say Neverwinter Nights II, and then there are people who say everything after Baldur's Gate II. *shrugs*
Even though Bioware has a seemingly good track record, I'm not really hyped for this title. For one thing, the format looks JRPG-esquse which is a departure from their usual work.

Might as well be a Sonic Battle sequel in that case. But with more RPG stuff in it. I mean, Sonic Battle felt sorta like an RPG with the Skill Points and stuff already.
Anywho

If this game format was JRPG Sonic and the rest of males characters would have look like girls (see Final Fantasy, Persona).
Never play Baldur's Gate II or Neverwinter Nights II, but Mass Effect and Jade Empire were pretty awesome.

You mean like Tails?
I also knew some people who thought Knuckles was female at first due to his pinkish color in the early games and his long "hair".
Besides, Dragon Quest is the definitive JRPG and you can easily tell the males from the females there.

Ha, yea his blank expressions and lack of official artwork is a bit disappointing. Although...his blank expressions and lack of personality may be part of his personality. 😛
Just a quick thing to add in; if you pre-order the game at GameStop you get a Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails stylus for your DS.

Whoa!!! Are you serious! That's awesome. I'd never use those if I got them. Just get them framed and hang them on my wall.

Actually, Beardo is 1/3 right; you'll get Sonic, Knuckles, and Shade styli.
Is it Shade? I swore I saw Tails in the ad I put up last week. If it is actually Tails as well, I'll post that up.

Nope, it really is shade, I pre-ordered mine about a week or so ago & the guy told me about the stylus set, & he said it was sonic, Knuckles & that new chick (wich is obviously refering to shade, sorry to dissapoint, i too would rather have a Team sonic Stylus set, but i guess Gamestop liked shades desgin lol.)
No no no Erika I meant like Aerith. Die FOREVER.
Nice finds! I'm particularly interested in the SoS video. I like how it has the prologue where Eggman is taken down by GUN, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge. An interesting little snippet, although I wish I could read the text.
Anyone who still reads Nintendo Power, the latest issue (featuring Wario on the cover) includes a Sonic Chonicles poster, and on the flip side of that poster is a map of the Green Hill Zone area showing what appears to be a large portion of it, if not the whole area itself.
It's quite detailed. The section of GHZ we see on the game's official website is at the top of the map. In the southeast is a rotted, polluted island with what appears to be an old Eggman base. There's a blue tree hut in the middle, and an ancient looking tower next to a smaller watchtower in the east. To the west is an ancient looking floor with stairs going into the ground, and to the south is a bridge leading off of the map. Where each path in the area goes is a bit confusing.
Mmmm, I love the profile pictures on the top screen during fights. Guess I should get my wallet out, then. This one's almost upon us and looks to be a barrel of fun.
Another Youtube video from the official Chronicles youtube channel, this time detailing combat.
The narrator. He belongs in Whinnie the Pooh XD
But still. Sounds nice. Basic but nice.
Those who live near the Nintendo World Store you can get Sonic Chronicles early plus download a limited edition Chao.
Sadly there isn't one near me

That a big lie read this
http://boards.ign.com/son...og/b5224/169897365/p1/?15
They probly got it wrong and meant sep 28. If that was true we would have seen stuff on youtube already.
What are you talking about? Did you even read the link SHADONIC posted? The guy in your link got the date wrong, it is to be set for early release on Sept. 28, not August 28. There was a Sega rep. who even stated it would be released early on Sept. 28.
Nonsense, B. I've got the game 4 days ago. And it rocks I tell you. ROCKS!
The ending was totally unexpected.
<spoiler>Sonic dies yet again. This time they had to find the 7 Hyper Emeralds (charged up Super Emeralds) to revive him. Knuckles says some chant. And then he gives Sonic a (censored)
Sonic is transformed to Mega Ultra Champion Rookie Super Sonic. And defeats Big the Cat who the main villain all along. And just when Mega Ultra Champion Rookie Super Sonic was gonna deliver the final blow, Big uses his ultra powers to blast Tails into smithereens. This transforms Mega Ultra Champion Rookie Super Sonic into Demon Mega Ultra Champion Rookie Super Sonic who goes on a rampage. The game ends with a cliffhanger as the credits roll. And the very end the screens goes blacks with Sonic saying "I'll be back for Sonic Chronicles: Tooie" </spoilers>
I don't even dare to read it! I did see knuckles in the text but that's it! I don't belive that you have it though.
PROTIP: he don't have it
So is it safe to read the text?
never mind I read it and it was crap.
There's plenty of room in the Angry Dome. 
Bah, you guys don't know good end writing slapped on in under a minute.
<spoiler>Wait till you hear about the game's version of Stop n Swop. Except this one is 'Chaos Contwol'</spoiler>
