Opoona, the main character the game is named for, must set out to unravel the mysteries surrounding his siblings' disappearances and his parents' injuries. To do this, the player will choose which of several jobs they want Opoona to master as he travels the world.
The game is being created by a well known and proven staff. Hitoshi Sakimoto, composer for Final Fantasy XII, will be writing the music. Shintaro Majima, art director for several games including Dragon Quest VII, is heading up art direction. Sachiko Yukimura, who has also worked on games in the Dragon Quest series, is the planning director. Screenshots that have been circulating the Internet show the Dragon Quest connection even more, as Opoona features an art style similar to that seen in games in that series. While they are watermarked with the 1up logo, they seem to be quite hard to find on 1up's own site. Kotaku has them though.

QuoteThats exactly what it seems like. Almost like they wanted something that sounds kinda familiar to all the Zelda(Nintendo) fans hoping that their efforts will sounds familiar in name and atleast be givin a chance, you know since Nintendo fans don't buy 3rd party games afterall.

Opoona, Kororinpa, did these people look through names and phrases in Zelda, decide to mess them up and use that as a game title?
