Zodiac Orcanon Odyssey looks resplendent at TGS

Continuing the roll of good Vita news out of Tokyo Game Show, Western producer Kobojo has brought in more top Japanese talent for the art on its JRPG. CyDesignation, a Japanese game design and production company led by renowned artist Hideo Minaba, is providing the art direction for Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey.


The CyDesignation team joins other esteemed Japanese developers who have contributed to Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey, including Kazushige Nojima (writer, Final Fantasy VII) as scenario writer and Hitoshi Sakimoto (composer, Final Fantasy Tactics) as composer.


The Vita release is due for early 2016, while the game is on show at TGS in its iOS edition.


A new trailer shows off some of the action, which looks suitably hand-crafted.
