An action RPG with FF Jobs sounds right up my alley.

This really is MH lol. I wasn't expecting it to be that close but you can already tell what the hub is

Yeah, the resemblance is really uncanny.
So... what are the odds for a US/European release ?
If both Theatrhythms can get localized, I'd say the chances are pretty solid (if not certain).
I like MonHun alright, but PSPortable was my baby. Anything that might be closer to that would be welcome by me. Especially since games closer to PSPortable's style are fewer in supply and, otherwise, only Nova on Vita seems to be the one carrying that on.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Took the words out of my mouth!
At anyrate if it has online for the west I'm in. If not I'll pass.

I dunno, Theatrhythm requires far less in the way of localization and was a better profit-maker with the chances of DLC. Plus they were going to have to localize it, anyway, with the iOS version.
You missed a perfect "Were the Theatrhythm games really even localized?" joke there.
We'll see if Curtain Call gets more work on it but somehow I doubt it.

Excellent news. If nothing else, it should have a really good soundtrack.
Exactly what I thought. Not sure if I want a MH FF anyway.
I guess it was only a matter of time before someone got a big game out aiming at that MH fanbase on 3DS.

Too blatant
At least it's not Final Fantasy Latin Diarrhoea I like the logo. Looks like it's Amano's.

Bravely Default too, but Nintendo had to bring that over, since SE didn't...

Last year they made a comment about how the performance of MH4 made them reconsider the potential of the 3ds. I thought they were talking about "core games" and their place on the system, but it seems they were just lurking the mh money.
At least bravely second is coming. Let's hope this one won't have the chapter 5-8 syndrom.

It's hard for me to get into Monster Hunter, but this game has piqued my interest and maybe it will help me grow into the MH games.
I really love the artwork, and have been waiting for another 3DS FF title. We have only gotten Theatrhythm, final fantasy-wise for the 3DS, right? I welcome more spin-offs!

Being heavily inspired by MH is an understatement wow
Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Wow, this looks great.

I rage every time I hear "monster hunter genre" It's just an action RPG. Phantasy Star had it first, and I'm possibly others. Regardless, I'm excited for this game.
I think in this case it is tough to say. Yes, the environments and HUB look like they inspired by MH but we have absolutely no idea what this plays like. For all we know it could lean closer to something like Ragnarok Odyssey in terms of actual gameplay and that seems more likely to me to be honest.
It's "Hunting Action" really. MonHun and other Hunting Action games differ enough from PSO and typical Action RPGs enough to be classed as their own genre.

Toshiyuki Itahana is credited for the image illustration, Atsushi Hashimoto is the director (no idea who he is), and Takahiro Abe is the project manager (CT DS, FFIV DS). There's going to be more stuff in the actual magazine feature, but the short extract in the preview article confirms that the game will have both local and online multiplayer, and that while they're aware that people think of Crystal Chronicles when they think of a multiplayer FF, this game will play differently and have more emphasis on the action. They also mention that it's similar to other "multiplayer online games" which I guess suggests it'll have a hub/lobby system which lead into missions.
