Apparently Project Exile's gotten a publisher and is coming to Nintendo DS. For those not in the know, it's an RPG inspired by the look and feel of SNES Squaresoft games, particularly Chrono Trigger. At first glance, I thought these guys had ripped a lot of graphics, but I did some research and they did do everything themselves, however similar it looks.

The trailer looks pretty neat and it really evokes CT in a lot of ways. Hopefully it comes out soon.

Hey, this looks great -- whoever notices that it's been released first be sure to say so in a few months. Definitely getting this one if the reviews aren't completely negative.

Edit: I said that _before_ watching the video. This will be mine without question on the day it gets released...holy shit. If the whole soundtrack sounds like that I'll buy the album too. :P

Damn this looks hot. It looks like they've spent a ridiculous amount of time on this game already.

Here's to hoping it'll be a great game, although there's a good chance get it just to support an indie developer who clearly knows a thing or two about what it is they're doing even if it does go below my expectations.

Reminds me of a mix of Final Fantasy VI and Seiken Densetsu 3 for the landscapes.

Chrono Trigger for character sprites.

The battle system also reminds me more of Seiken Densetsu 3 more than Chrono Trigger with it's ring system

Edit:

After watching the video the BS resembles CT A LOT more than the screenshots did

did anyone else notice it said "The project is currently being ported to the Nintendo DS for release in Q1 2007." on the site?

is this a dead project?

According to the second link they just got a committed publisher which is probably why that target date is wrong.

EDIT: Looking at the news section of their site, the last thing dated was for yesterday.
