The story takes place in the Kingdom of Kamuza, which was created by the prince "Knight King" and Toki, the princess of Magic. The capital city floats on water. The protagonist is the prince of Kamuza, who married to the princess of Magic but he never had his first kiss. The princess Toki is 16 years old, who has baby dragon as her pet.
Tokitowa will have hand drawn 2D animation for the characters, and they are not animated with celshaded 3D graphics, they are real 2D animation. Other graphics like backgrounds and towns are 3D. Kay Hirono said the game has been in development for over 2 years, the battle system will also use 2D animation for the characters. Tokitowa is current 45% completed.

Looks interesting, let's hope they don't screw it up.

Couldn't care less about the game, but I'm all in for the OST if Koshiro is doing it.

Bandai Namco released new info on Tokitowa [Time & Eternity]'s battle system. In the game Princess Toki can use time & space magic such as Freeze Time to halt the enemies in battle, she can learn more spells during the progress. In addition, Princess Toki's alternative ego Towa, will find a companion pet named Drake in her journey. Drake is a talking baby blue dragon that will help both Toki and Towa in the story.

Ugh.
Are they actively trying to embarrass me while playing this?

Heh. I don't think so.

Game looks super slick. The music sounds really good. It's like a mishmash of JRPG music (sounds like Motoi Sakuraba's stuff).
I'm assuming that the game battle system is setup like Paper Mario games where the main character fights along with one helper character at a time with real-time action battle inputs.

Yuzo Koshiro is the composer for that game.

i can't play games that look like that.

Wow, not only does it look like all the most annoying things about modern anime crammed into a single video game package, but the animation itself looks super janky. Will skip.

Anybody get this game? I know there are people in Japan here. I would import it if I had PS3. Mainly interested in the soundtrack which came with the game which no one on vgmdb has.

No idea about the game, but the soundtrack's kinda nice. Funky sax (?) on the Towa battle theme, laid back piano and strings on Toki's theme -- enjoying this a lot. Looking forward to a full release of the OST (if there's going to be one).

I was interested in getting it, but I've been hearing pretty much nothing but bad things.
Apparently it's incredibly monotonous, it keeps recycling the same enemies, dungeons are too big and too boring and any sense of exploration is destroyed by the fact that treasures and such are indicated on the map.
I might still try it out once it hits the bargain bin though, which shouldn't take too long.
