After several gorgeous images inviting viewers to the main menu, the four classic Wizard of Oz characters are displayed together. Each one is a fabulous re-imagining of the original designs, with the Tin Man getting some extra shine. The only currently active link directs you to a synopsis of the story -- in Japanese. Well, most people should have the general idea, but there's sure to be countless new ideas in this RPG re-telling. Even with English details still in limbo, you can start appreciating the artwork right here -- right now!

I completely agree. I mean, it looks nice, but the idea of taking The Wizard of Oz, making it Japanese and a bit anime-ish is well, a little weird to say the least.

I think this game looks freakin awesome. The wizard of oz has always had a compelling story, with characters that continue to advance and grow as the story progresses. They could basically do anything with this game! There have always been spinn offs from the wizard of oz, and all of them that I have seen have been amazing.

I've always thought Wizard of Oz was a natural for an RPG. Even the movie follows the basic trends in RPGs: a lone, teenage adventurer with cute pet amasses a party, each with special abilities and weaknesses; they travel alternately through towns/safe areas and "dungeons"/dangerous areas; and so on. You've even got plenty of enemies (evil trees, flying monkeys, palace guards, and of course the Witch) and townspeople (Munchkins, Emerald City residents) to start off with. This isn't even going into stuff from the books, or Return to Oz.
Count me excited.
