As for DS title Ni no Kuni: The Another World, the game will contain over 300 characters who can be mixed and matched under a battle system called ‘Imagine’.
The DS iteration currently has an autumn release date in Japan while the PS3 version remains TBA.
A release outside of Japan has yet to be confirmed, though the growing popularity of Studio Ghibli – and the Western expansion of Level 5 – means a European and US release is likely at some point in the future.
