Marvelous Entertainment revealed
Contact director Akira Ueda's next project,
Sakura Note, with a
teaser web site. According to 1UP's
summary of a
Famitsu preview of the game, the game involves two mysterious sakura trees in two towns. One is blooming late in the year, and the other is dying. This is somehow connected to a new arrival in your neighborhood, and subsequent attacks against her by
ghosts. In order to solve these two mysteries, you explore the nostalgic scenery of two neighboring towns, "talking to people and unlocking new story episodes as you go along."
The game is being created by an all-star team. As on Level-5's
Fantasy Life, Nobuo Uematsu and Hideo Minaba are contributing music and character design, respectively.
Kingdom Hearts' Kazushige Nojima is writing the story, and
Half-Minute Hero producer Kenichiro Takagi is producing.
Sakura Note will be out in Japan November 5.

Holy crap! That really IS a damn good team!

I hope that this game is less mind-screwy than Contact.

The gorgeous look of Contact almost always trumped whatever task I was supposed to do. In fact, I don't remember much about that game.

I get the feeling that this is some how Da Capo 3.

Nojima >.>
I'm still angry with him for the butcherment that was Kingdom Hearts II.

Wow, that looks cool. That's not an in-game screen, is it?

Contact had a similar style, so I'd assume it is. Of course, I could be wrong.

I trust everyone has already started bugging Atlus for a NA Release.

For some reason I have a bad feeling this will never make it into English.
