Is it just me, or does this seem very similar to the art style in TIngle's DS RPG adventure? I also think that this game probably won't make it here to the U.S. for probably the same reason Tingle didn't make it here, and that reason would be because homophobia is a major problem here, unlike in Japan or Europe.
It does look like a cool game, and I hope it makes it here, but the bigots might keep that from happening.
