While the game uses a sophisticated game system, it has opted for traditional techniques for its artwork. All of the graphics are hand-drawn and hand-painted, supported by a completely new method of computer-generated graphics called “Sketch Motion”. The new graphics bring forth detailed 2D animation, surpassing the limits of 3D polygons. The battle system has also been revamped into what is known as the “REEL” battle system, a slot machine-like interface allowing players to add new variations to familiar combos and skill development. Groundbreaking features like these result in another milestone title for Akitoshi Kawazu.
