I don't really think I'd want a flight game on my DS.

For some estrange reason the music, the camera style and the world map reminded me an awful lot to FFIIV.

@linfosoma: That's because it's being developed by the same studio that did the DS FF remakes.

So it might as well just be guys fighting... no point in making it airships if they're just gonna fly all around each other one at a time to do whatever attack they feel like. I was hoping for something a little more tactical and a little less like they just reskinned FFIV

If it weren't for the random encounters/turn based nature of this I'd be pumped

Its a good thing this is an uninteresting turn-based RPG because I would totally buy a DS (or any system) just to play an awesome Dirigible/Airship game that was in any other genre.

Airships take damage, I'm down with that.  Gameplay beyond what's shown, though?

This didn't look like a complete rip-off of square/enix's stuff. Not a bit.

I really liked the DS remakes of FF3 and 4 and since this one's made by the same guys I'm pretty interested. Sure, it'll be pretty un-original, but the Dragonquest series have been like that for ages and noone seems to mind.

Awesome.  Air ship battles with lasers and spikey claws!  Actually, from what I saw of the videos that came out of E3, this looks pretty cool.  I'll be taking a closer look at this upon release.

That's the smallest trailer ever. Are they selling a game or a burned map?

Just make Skies of Arcadia 2. MOONSTONE CANNON FIRE!!! Or even some DLC with some more ships to fight and such would be enough. I remember it had some weapons you could download on the DC. Those where the pioneering days of DLC.
