I don' t read the language, so I have to judge based solely on the visuals. So, if I' ve completely missed something, let me know.

This game looks like a typical turn-based JRPG with some gimmicks thrown in involving the Wiimote and the ball on that kid' s head.
Basically the same old vanilla sundae with a wiimote cherry on top.
That' s exactly what I was hoping Wii developers would avoid doing. Derivative, gimmicky wastes of great tech.

But you' re saying it looks great...so what am I missing?

The art design and graphics looked amazing!
Can' t say much about the gameplay, and I don' t like Koei that much.
Artepiazza are good though. They worked on the previous Dragon Quest games right?
I' ll keep a close eye on it.

Artepiazzas website is cool.

For one it looks 10 times better than Dynasty Warriors on 360.

What i like is the art direction and general style. The controls look really fluid and i' m intrigued by the battle system.

I' m not a huge fan of Koei but they have their moments. I look forward to seeing more of this game.

I pretty much agree with this, but I must add that the character designs are absolutely awful. I' ll reserve judgement until I play it for myself, but of what I' ve seen there' s nothing yet to really appeal to me and make me excited to play the game.

Hahahaha, no seriously, i like the look of it. What, did you guys thing that somebody who' s most played game is GRAW wouldn' t like stuff like this?

Plus, any game that lets you play as a ' Cosmo Guard' and use an ' Energy Bon Bon' as a weapon will get my vote.

The director and lead artist have worked on the Drago Quest series and the music is being done by Hitoshi Sakimoto, the guy behind Final Fantasy XII' s soundtrack.

The game is played with only the nunchuck. You don' t touch the Wimote whatsoever.
