Here's a rough translation of the news:

"It's tittle is Baten Kaitos, which means "whale stomach" (??) in arabian, and is also the name of a constelation.

The world is divided into 5 floating continents, and each one is specialized in one thing: Magic, Technology, etc...

Karus, the main character, begins his adventure to avenge his family. He can communicate with spirits, and even transform into one sometimes. He will be accompained by a girl, Sierra, who travels with a gummy creature named Mi-Mai with her."

Comments: Skies of Arcadia + Shaman King = Baten Kaitos, at least as for now.

Just to add to your post, Namco just put up a site for the game. Like Xenosaga, the screens are small, but the game looks to be rather colorful at least.

edit: changed the title

I'm not too fond of the character style (still, not as bad as Xenosaga II) but the screens do look interesting indeed. Note that Monolith is developing it.

Yes, I agree. This is one of those games in which I prefer the in-game character model better than the artwork.

The screens look pretty, but there's little information about the game so far. Let's see.

It does indeed look colorful. And the screenshots are initially small -- but there's a '+' that you can click on in Kalas and Xelha's character pages that take you to some 320x240ish pictures.

character style? they barely show us anything, what's there to like? i'm guessing you dislike the Shakespearean dress, thou elvish-mark'd, abortive, rooting hog!

i personally dislike Kalas's weapon. i don't see the point of having that piece blocking the lower-part of the blade, unless it does something fantastic like distributes arrows, or poison, or bees or something

EDIT:
what do you think's the purpose of Xelha's weapon? looks like something i'd see in an s&m
