That seems to be pretty common with Monolith's games.
I've personally loved them.

Looks phenomenal, for the most part. However, the environments look completely empty with nothing more than a different texture on the floor.

Music is reallly good!

Gameplay looks like it has potential, not really digging the character art though.

Keeping an eye on it.

Hmmm very interesting! Hopefully the trailer is an indication that they only zoom in super close to show the horribly pixelated ground rarely.

I wish for once a company would animate those cutout sprites during dialogue. I'd rather the small normal versions of the characters animate on screen with voice bubbles than the big static cutouts. Those always bug me.

With the Nintendo name and marketing behind them, it should see good success (as long as the game isn't crap).

The video keeps staggering then reseting itself to the beginning before it finishes. something is wrong with the video content itself.

The vocal reminds me of Kirite and the other piece definitely has a Xenogears feels to it.

Despite the questionable art style, the monster designs look quite good.

Thanks for [both] links kassatu.

This game looks amazing, I can't believe it's hardly gotten any exposure. The music is extremely good (if it's anything like in the trailer, then this is easily the best soundtrack on the DS).

Seems like a genuine RPG from the video - hopefully it is. I've been getting dungeon crawler vibes from the screens.

The background art is incredible, and I guess that's why it sometimes looks pixelated because when the game zooms out to its proper resolution it looks beautiful. Music was amazing, that vocal track was great - Mitsuda is back in town!

Game looks so much better in motion.

Well i'm still very interested. Hopefully it comes to the states. I don't know about you guys but my DS seems to get the most playtime with the psp and ps2(on the ps3) following a close second and third.

Very nice. It's good to see Mitsuda working with Monolith Soft again and with his music attached to a game that already looks sweet. Mitsuda's post Xenosaga Episode I soundtracks (excluding Kirite because that was an original work) have been attached to games that were either a. not that great and/or b. ones that aren't very well recognized (despite the fact that I haven't heard the soundtracks for Graffiti Kingdom, Farewell To The Moonlit Night, Luminous Arc, and Armored Troopers Armodyne). Now if Mitsuda would just finish his Chrono Cross Arranged Album like he promised several moons ago I'd be even happier.
