Well, I've played through the first mission.
Here's my report:
The game starts with an anime introduction scene (which is not as good as Rune Factory's but still). I like how the story starts. You really know what's happening and everything is explained (not like Luminous Arc >.> I felt so lost at first).
Well, after a few minutes of introduction you can see the world map, and then comes some more text and finally the mission starts.
This game includes real-time battles, ressource collecting and monster summoning. The command system is a quite similar to FFXII:RW.
I haven't played much yet, but I think it's worth trying.
