AWAY, developed by the creater of FF and the team who worked on Blue Dragon. Uematsu's on the score.
The story involves a young hero named Sword who must rescue his kidnapped neighbors from the titular dungeons. Half the battle will be finding the prisons, and Sword will have to collect various items and musical instruments that will reveal their locations. Dungeons are presented in 2D while the overworld village can be explored in 3D. Cinematics with recorded voice-overs help develop the story.

I'm definitely hyped. It looks a lot like the Dragon Quests, in the 3D shots. One of the greatest RPG developers of all time and the most exemplary composer known to gaming (imo)?. Another promising JRPG, Square's really lightening my wallet:?
