New dungeon-crawling RPG has been announced for PSP/3DS. Looks pretty cool. Toshio Akashi and Noriyuki Iwadare have some involvement in it

Screenshots can be found HERE

Very interesting. The characters all seem to come from monster clans and it reminds me of Breath of Fire a little. The hero is king of the dragon clan, even, and I'm not gonna pretend I don't like his sort of bastard pretty-boy.

Besides Akashi (who seems to be a visual director) the Takashi Hino who's given in the UnchainBlades articles as a Grandia creator also worked on Lunar back in the day. I remember an interview where Shigema passes the buck on Lunar containing a lot of immature humor off on Hino.

I think you mean Kubooka? He did the design for the fox girl. http://www.famitsu.com/news/201102/imag ... K4Go9.html They got their goddess design from Kazushi Hagiwara, that's priceless. (His manga Bastard!! [exclamation points required] is complete over-the-top awesome.)

I DO mean Kubooka. Got my names mixed up. Thanks for the save.

This more then anything about that game reminds me of Lunar:



Nice to see he's sticking with art style he used in Lunar 2. Although, I hate the dragon designs. If this ever gets state side I'll pass on this.
