So there is this RPG coming out for the PS3 only and the game looks BEAUTIFUL! I mean it looks like an anime and the concept reminds me of pokemon as well. The reason I am talking about this is because of the special edition that Namco has released for 100 dollars and is only available on their website to preorder (This is ONLY for NA, if you live anywhere else I think there are other stores that sell them). But the concept they have created is what makes it so unique, the more preorders they receive, the more stuff the people will get...FOR FREE! I have a few vids to try and help people think about preordering this game.

A trailer for the game:




13 mins of gameplay:




And the last video is about an awesome Youtuber who is also psyched about this game:




One of the companies behind this game is Level 5 who is better known for their Professor Layton series which, if anyone has played one of those DS games, would show how much potential this game has because all the cutscenes in Professor Layton games were animated and really great looking as well.

An RPG in collaboration with Studio Ghibli... how in gods name did I miss this?!?

Been looking forward to this for a while. I wish it was a straight up turn based JRPG rather than having an action battle system, but oh well.

I think this battle system is more suited for the game. I mean yeah while the battles have different summons that would probably be better for turn based fights, the real time fighting is probably more smoother.

I prefer Turn-Based JRPG's too. It's not that I dislike real time it's just sometimes it can become even more tedious than that of a turn based (Star Ocean comes to mind).

Plus games like FF9, Shining the Holy Ark and Skies of Arcadia conditioned me to love turn based!

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

This better live up to how awesome it looks

[Xannidel]

I am really sure this game will live up to expectations, the animations look so smooth. The combat looks really awesome. I do not know TOO much about the story (which is how I like my video games). And the characters look like they have a wide variety of emotions...At least outside of battle.

Is it bad that I want this game soley for Ghibli?

[Xannidel]

Nah, I preordered the Wizard's Edition (The CE for people who are not familiar with the game) and I wanted it for the spellbook that is included.
