Purrrrrdy.

The latest issue of Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation has confirmed as much, most importantly noting that the game will be on show at the Tokyo Game Show later in the year.

The Dengeki PlayStation write-up also notes a few new features, most notably the battle system. Here random battles will be mixed up with visible encounters that are implemented into the exploration aspects of the game. Nomura stated that the graphics enhance the combat, stating people will not believe their eyes when they see them in action. Pretty then, eh? Not enough - Nomura states that the graphics will be getting a further polish before release.

Exciting.
