Famitsu.com has released some very nice screenshots of Odin Sphere.
This A-RPG, set to be released in May in Japan, is developped by Vanillaware and edited by Atlus.
It looks close to Princess crown (both games' director is Seiya Kamiya), a very good A-RPG originally released on the Sega Saturn and recently ported to the PSP.
5 characters will be playable, and the soundtrack is composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto (FFXII, Radiant Silvergun)
A teaser is also available here

Sometimes, bad things happen in games. Here's why that can be a great thing for the overall narrative and gaming experience.
2D games are great, right? If there is one Japanese developer that has embraced the idea of them and ran with it, it is Vanillaware. The company is committed to the idea of games that are incredibly artistic and totally flat. Just recently, Dragon's Crown came back into the spotlight with a PlayStation 4 release. But what do you need to know about this developer? Let’s go over some of the more important details.
It takes a ton of work to produce 2D graphics lavish enough to strain a contemporary game system. This is in fact George Kamitani's modus operandi, exemplified by both Dragon's Crown and its artbook. If the preface in the artbook is anything to go by, Dragon's Crown is George Kamitani's love letter to gaming as a whole.
We start things off this week with some chatter on Odin Sphere, the recently remastered PS2 game. Why exactly are we fighting the same bosses five times in this game?
