It was only recently revealed that the Level 5-developed Ni No Kuni, a Japanese RPG featuring art direction, animation and story by Studio Ghibli, would actually see the light of day in the West, and now that light has a name:
Wrath of the White Witch, reports
Eurogamer.
The game revolves around a young boy, Oliver, who can move between the real world and a magical world thanks to a fairy.
For anyone who's ever played a
Tales Of title, Wrath of the White Witch plays very similarly, only it also packs some Pokemon punch with Oliver and co also collecting little critters to help them in their journey.
At the moment the "Western release" for the game is only set to North America, but being that it's a PS3 only title (outside of a DS release), there's always the option to import thanks to the console not being region-locked for games.
Watch a trailer of Wrath of White Witch embedded below, or do yourself a favour and
check it out in HD, it's very, very sexy.

Often at times they seem to start stilted at the beginning of the movie, and seem to get better. Could be my imagination, or could be that they do it in chronological order. Cowboy Bebop and Twelve Kingdoms in English seemed to have the same effect for me, the voices were pretty good. Could never watch Fullmetal, Bleach, Fairy Tail, or a few others without the Japanese voices though (don't ever watch Fairy Tail ftr, I have no idea why we watch it, but we're addicted, guilty pleasure of perving on the hawt drawing characters of opposite genders to our own).

I watch all my japanese anime in japanese because i can't tell when a japanese voice actor is bad, but I can easily tell when an english one is.
There's a couple of english voice actors which aren't bad, but when they have dialogue with other bad ones, it basically loses the effect.
Still pissed this wasn't just going to be a Ico like or Shadow of the Colossus like game. Those were artistic genius.
