new Lost Magic DS (ARPG from Taito) pics

I have no idea what's going on in those shots, but I will comment that the art style literally screams 'Miyazaki' to me for some reason...
 
Did the same to me, I like the looks of this RPG with a FFTA like mission-select... Looks good, hope it gets a PAL release...

That's because Studio Ghibli is helping out.
 
The artist from Studio Ghibli working on this title is Satou Yoshiharu, he supervised animation on Totoro, Kiki, Omohide poro poro and was a chara designer for Nippon Animation.
 
It might be good and have great design, but judging from those pics, sprites and backgrounds look very ...... basic

Has Miyazaki/Ghibli ever been involved in game development before?

Yes they have, most recent activity was an hour of FMV for the wonderous game of Graffiti Kingdom/Magic Pengel... Can't remember anything else at the moment...
 
Updates and character art look fantastic!

Y'know, there was a time when I would've thought that Taito might NOT bring this game out here, but now that they're owned by Square Enix, I think Lost Magic will most surely be released in North America!

I hope so anyway!

They also did the FMV in Jade Cocoon if I'm not mistaken.

Doesn't completely surprise me, but which game in the series? I only have two, since I've been too lazy to get the first one when I could..
 
It's being made by Gakaruta Studio, which has some Ghibli staff onboard. They're they guys behind Rakugaki Oukouku/Magic Pengel/Grafitti Kingdom as well.

If Square Enix doesn't bring this one over, hopefully another publisher like Atlus, Agetec, NIS, Ubisoft or XSeed will step up.
 
Yet another DS RPG that looks like an SNES game :\

This machine is capable of better...why aren't developers utilizing it?

You mean late genaration AAA Superfami RPGs that were not that common?

Most Superfami games looked considerably less sophisticated than you remember them. Many RPGs on the Superfami looked like shit, some of them coming out in 1995 still looked like Square's launch RPG FF IV four years earlier.

If this is what the 'average' NDS RPG looks like, the AAA titles will look much better.
 
This looks retarded:
