That said, it looks like a fun little game. The characters kind of remind me of Naruto. Turn based battles are fine with me as long as I alternate between them and action/adventure ones.

Looks good and the story sounds great. The battle system looks more like Diablo than a turn based system. Looks good and the story sounds great.

THAT always drove me up the wall.

Is the battle system turnbased like Azure Dreams, or is it real time like Diablo? This game looks like it may be the game that finally gets me to buy a DS.

As much as I use to love Random battle and turn base RPGs, I no longer seem to have the patience for them. I just can't figure out how I use to be able to handle the fact that when I wanted to reach point A to point B, I had to be interrupted by 10 battles, which turned a simple walk of 1 minute into a holdup of 20 minutes.
