Miyazaki himself isn't involved anywhere in it, I think.
Played the game for around5 hours yesterday. Good game, good good game, hence the 5 hours in a go ! Like the battle mechanics a lot and love the art a lot. The story doesn't feel like Ghibli once u r in the fairy world. The initial start in the real world does have a Miyazaki's trademark feel to it. Child protagonists, small family events etc. But once in the Fairy world , its back to videogamey save the world routine. But thr beautiful art of the fairy world and suweet music makes up for it

!
My gripes, for now , are mainly technical:
1)I would have liked higher res textures in the environment. Characters look sharp, but environ textures, if they had been higher res, the game would have achieved the ghibli look perfectly.
2)Lack of AA. Why? We are on the ps3 here.
3) Just a bit of visible pop-up ! Again, why?
4)command wheel with D-pad and movement with left stick means we require two left thumbs ! Right now, in the heat of battle, I find myself holding the left stick to one side using my right thumb while browsing the command wheel with my left thumb!
Other than that the game is a purrrfect fantasy journey. Beautiful and charming.
A question: Should I sell stuff like 'Dumpty Egg' and 'Springwater' or are they going to be of use later ?
