I've been waiting for 2 years for this game to be released in the west, and the demo did not disappoint.
Day 1 purchase, a shame that the wizards edition is not available in Canada. It will be the best game this gen. Although I might be a bit biased towards studio Ghibli.

It looks interesting but ill hold out until the review come. I must say the art style is very beautiful.

you are right. ni no kuni is sooo beautiful. und the reviews from play and games master are better than all rpgs on this generation ^^ this is very good - the RPG-gamers have a nice year 2013 and very fun :)

No, the original post was correct 

I already have a huge backlog but I can't really pass on a game co-produced by the best anime studio of all time...
So I will have to get it...

Art style is similar to Princess Mononoke and Spirited Way with are two of the highest grossing movies of all time in Japan...

I played the demo, and I found the game kind of good but nothing special. Perhaps I will get the game later after its release.

This thread compelled me to play the demo, and I was impressed right away with the design, and the combat system from the demo.

Things I noticed.

1. If you ever wondered whats it like to play an anime, this game is it.

2. Princess Mononoke art style is a big plus. One of my favorite anime movies. I hope the story can match its look.

3. The combat system is no joke. If you don't think or use some brain power you'll die. Yep, the forest boss one shot me because I was careless.

This is just three things that stand out to me right away from the start. Watch out Square Enix.. Level 5 knows their stuff.

the demo was pretty solid but as i've said this one -character and story wise- is a little too childish even for the standards of "My Neighbor Totoro". the game was originally made for the DS which has a much younger target audience than the ps3 anyway.

One of the few games I'm looking forward to next year. : )
