The 1up translation of Famitsu Magazine's review: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176578 [ 9 / 9 / 9 / 9 ]
"The story, music, and so on evokes memories of an older age," said one writer, "and it mixes well with the modern gameplay to make things seem pretty fresh." It's a very traditional RPG story wise, in other words -- "it's trite, yes, but there are some cute touches to it," as another put it. Praise also went out to the soundtrack, although some of "the more unique aspects of the gameplay" apparently take getting used to.
Japanese Trailer
A young boy is due to be recognised as an adult by visiting the kingdom's castle. When he arrives, he notices that the King is distraught - the princess has been snatched by the "Witch of the North", and now as a young adult he sets off to save the princess and meet new friends along the way...sounds familiar.
