These credits are impressive. I'm sold just by the pedigree. But what's this battle system?

The trailer doesn't give much away does it, apart from the fact it looks good. I guess we will just have to wait for further details.

More DS love for me to indulge in.  You have to have confidence that the game will be good at worst and potentially brilliant at best.  On my "watch"  list.

As much as I want to agree with you, Blue Dragon begs to differ... Better have a "wait and see" approach. "

Nobuo Uematsu has done waaaaay more than the credits you listed, most specifically Chrono Trigger.

Not really. He only contributed 8 or so tracks to that -- the remainder was done by Yasunori Mitsuda."
