For the record, this is apparently the project that was first talked about here- http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=159722

Long development much? Anyways, looks fun, although i imagine some people will be disappointed that it's not a .hack game or whatever.

Cool it looks like a nice game pretty sure ive seen parts of that one robot on a anime movie Castle in the Sky, hopefully it'll port to other countries unlike with Choushoujuu Mecha MG which should have been.
 
If the customization is high this game will be fun.

I'm fine with dog but cats are better.
 
"...epic human drama..."

You wouldn't know it from those screenshots.

So, basically, they're making a Star Fox RPG, since Nintendo's too busy to give a flyin' flip?
 
This game sounds extremely promising.

I will be on the watchout for it's release. It seems charming and yet also action-oriented, but with RPG elements. Everything I like rolled up into one game.
