Gamespot has just went hands on with Jean D'Arc, the strategy RPG based on Joan of Arc, at the Tokyo Games Show.
Although they couldn't read a lick of any text due to the game being in all Japanese, they did play enough to tell the main game will be similar to other grid-based games, like Nippon Ichi's insane library of great SRPGs.
One aspect of the game that seems pretty interesting is when Jean receives damage, she, at times, will take a page out of the Hulk's book by transforming into superpowerful Jean and inflicting major damage upon her enemies. After a few turns, Jean returns back to her normal self.
They go on to say all the basic elements of an SRPG are here and graphically, is much better than any other similar game on the PSP to date. Unfortunately for us, there's no definitive information on whether we'll get this game stateside. Keep your fingers crossed boys and girls.

This one looks great! I hope it actually is released here in the states. I don't want to have to go through with a translator. ;)

Too bad they don't have Janne da Arc doing the music. That would rock too.

I'm so hoping this game comes stateside. I'm a big fan of SRPG and I've been liking what I've seen of this game since news of it first hit the internet. The new screens are gorgeous.

You'd think Gamespot would have SOMEBODY who spoke Japanese. Hell, even I speak a little and can read kana... Yeesh.
