The visuals look amazing...until you get to the battle sequence. I hope they do something more with that.

So it's like Dynasty Warriors with Demon Fighting? Sounds like a far cry from the usual Dark Fantasy Sci-Fi in Modern Day/Future Japan.

From the trailer, I was hoping the guy in blue with the That 70's Show featured extra haircut was going to be a villain. By this description, it looks like he'll be a good guy. Which sucks because he just has a face that I want to never stop punching ever.

It may just be part of the concessions that developers have to make in order to fit a (possibly) huge game like this onto the 3DS cartridge. It reminds me of the sacrifices made to fit Dragon Quest IX onto a single DS card.

Isn't the 3DS using 4GBs cartridges right now?

And the game looks amazing to me. I loved Strange Journey and I hope we will get the chance to play this new game.

The only thing that would ruin the chances of a localization would be whoever/whatever the final boss that represents Law is.

LOL, I knew I recognized some VA's there. The first two have roles in Bakemonogatari, the third has a starring role in Beelzebub, and the fourth I have not watched anything he's been in. But really, what a great cast line up, with Hiroshi Kamiya being one of my favorite VA's, up there with Tomokazu Sugita. I mean Kamiya voices Araragi amazingly.
