Looks pretty neat. I like the idea of a game with the Studio Ghibli aesthetic. I wonder how much hands-on involvement Hayao Miyazaki had. I think it's especially cool that Joe Hisaishi composed the music for it.

I hope that Ghibli eventually does a World of Warcraft-style online game kind of like that since I think that would be pretty interesting. I love the idea of getting lost in a corner of the Ghibli-verse. I think it would be interesting to see a game like that that placed more emphasis on exploration than on quests or fighting monsters. It does seem a little difficult to make a Miyazaki-style video game since, aside from his first few movies, Miyazaki seems to have little interest in villains or antagonists, and it's somewhat difficult to make a video game without that.
