That Other Guy's Life as a King

With Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King out and tempting obsessives with DLC, it's easy to forget about the other Wii simulation game about a tiny king building a town: Ousama Monogatari (King Story). The latest screens show off King Story's unique textured style well, but they also reveal three of the jobs that the magical king Corobo can force people to take on.

Soldiers (possibly translatable as "grunts") stay close to the king and protect him with close-quarters combat. Carpenters, labeled "normal," act both as builders and architects, designing and building new structures and roads for the town. And farmers, described as "serious," dig holes and plant crops.

Sure, these may seem obvious, but we don't think we can expect normal real-world logic to apply in a game about a kid whose magic crown makes everyone do what he says.

I'm way more exited for this title than for My Life As A King. Anyone knows when it's coming out?

I have to say I'm really excited about this game, even though town building/rts sims-esque games have really never been my cup of tea. It just looks gorgeous.

*looking at watch*
I've been waiting for this game for a while... I hate it when I hear about a game like 2-3 years back and still wait for it. Eventually I just forget about the game, but seeing that I'm still interested...
*looks at watch again*
I'm still waiting.
