Apparently the game uses a special shading technique they call "pencil shading".

Check out their site, they have some sketches and good samples of what the BGM is like. - kizuna-game.jp

Very interesting. I'm liking the art direction and the music. I wonder if this will ever hit the States?

I think the music is interesting too, wonder who the composer is? As for bringing it stateside, I'm sure if the game's good then they'll find a publisher.

here's some info on the staff
- Scenario: Miwa Shouda (FFXII, Saga Frontier, Little King's Story)
- Director/Programmer: Youichi Kawaguchi (DQVIII, Little King's Story)

Since the game's by Mervelous, I'd bet on XSeed bringing it over.

Interesting graphics. Are they supposed to look like they were painted on a canvas, is that what they're going for here? Anyways, it's good to see more Wii RPGs. There's no reason not to do them on Wii.
