First the official site has been updated:

Also some new screens from the game have emerged that indicate the character creator option in it (downsized):from ign.com

Nice. This looks like an interesting game. Gfx look sweet. I can't wait to see more. Any news on a release date?

Is it me or does this looks like Oblivion ^__^.

You're right Konnichiwa, it really does look like it.

Doesn't really appeal that much to me as Dark Chronicle and Dragon Quest VIII did, but that's because I love fantasy styled games, Dark Chronicle and Dragon Quest VIII are 2 of my most favorites for the PS2... Like with Trusty Bell for example, which makes me really drool. Guess I don't miss that much then as this supposed to be for me one of the 2 anticipated PS3 games. The other one not announced for which platform yet is... SOIV.

But then again, only a few screens are showed...

Is it just me, or did the helmeted dude dial 1-800-EVANGELION for faceplate design? 

 I was thinking FF11... on steriods graphically... and artistically.

Game looks gorgeous to me from those shots. Is it going to be PS3 exclusive?

 First Party game. Better be. XD If it's not, chances are PS3 will be out of production.

Seriously tho, it's exclusive. There is a video you can watch too. The game looks amazing. 

 Yes.

Darn.  Well, eventually I'll have a PS3 I am sure.
