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.

Screenshots; http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/11067290/away-tsure-sareta-hitobito/images/away-shuffle-dungeon-images-20080707102241453.html

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:?

Wasn't this the dream team that did ASH? If they did, we all know how that turned out ( in Japan at least)...

Still want it though

I am a huge Blue Dragon fan so the other day i was roming youtube looking for footage of the DC for BD called the dhuffle dungeon. i saw this and thought it was the blue dragon game for DS and i was uber pumped but i looked closer and saw that it wasn't. i guess the point is does anyone have any info on mistwalker's other game Blue Dragon Plus

Uggh the Blue Dragon team? I didnt like that game at all. Frankly the screenshots of AWAY dont look that great, I was expecting a lot better and the story doesnt sound very entertaining. Mistwalker did a wonderful job with Lost Odyssey, though. Too bad they cant make a game like that for the DS.

Sales-wise or score-wise? :|
