Fans of Animal Crossing/Persona/Rune Factory, etc.........

Check out the upcoming game King's Story for Wii, formerly known as Project O. It is being developed by a talented team of developers, headed up by the main Harvest Moon guy. The graphical style is along the lines of Animal Crossing meets Warcraft. Essentially the game is a cross between Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, and Warcraft. It has strong RTS elements. Essentially you are given the role as King, you gather subjects and expand your Kingdom. There are RPG elements involved, a lot of the subjects you'll come across will develop as characters, and scenarios unfold; I guess, sort of like the old DOS classic "Castles". It is being described as a role playing simulation game; though it also has elements of RTS in it.

Here's the Wikipedia article, it links to various sites with information known on the game.

That looks pretty cool.

I'll have to stay updated on it.

Nothing there calls out to me (and how is this like Persona, outside the life-sim aspect, which is not really unique to or a trademark of the series) but the concept has some merit.

Once some screens are released and I hear a bit more about it, I may get excited, but I'm not a huge RTS or SRPG fan.
