The Offspring of Too Much Exp.

So I just found out about this game, Battle Fantasia being released on PS3 and XBox 360 in Japan on May 29th. Initially it was an arcade fighter developed by the guys at Arc-System Works, so you can somewhat guess what to expect. The theme this time however is not some uber-futuristic landscape but the gumdrop slime bashing fun of adventure in storybook land. Merging 3D graphics with 2D gameplay, this game is something like a disgusting mish mash of Eternal Sonata meets Guilty Gear. Arc-System Works is getting a little lazy as you can hear some repeated sound effects from their previous title ("Counter!") and on top of that...is that Sol-Badguy as a priest? I mean if they were using the same voice actors could they at least direct him to not sound so much the same? I keep expecting him to shout "Gatling Flame!". This game is probably gonna be overpriced and not worth your money at release, possibly not making it to the US because of it's extremely limited exposure.
