Yeah, I was about to pre-order it. It's being published by AKSYS in NA, iirc, NISA is only handling the Europe release. It's coming out right in the middle of tax season, unfortunately, so the gf will probably play it first. I fell in love with the game as soon as I heard the soundtrack. I really missed Nobuo in FFXIII, and it's nice that he's able to further explore his creative talents now.
With the visual artistic talent of ASW, and Uematsu's mastery of sound itself, there's no way it can be bad. It'll look great on the Vita's screen, but I may need to invest in better headphones.
