We have seen quite a lot of still screenshots of Nippon Ichi Software's PS3 exclusive side-scrolling JRPG Battle Princess of Arcadias (specifically here and here), but we didn't see it in motion yet, until now.

The historical Japanese publisher just released the very first gameplay trailer of the game,  and it looks definitely good in its old-school 2D glory. You can check it out below, alongside the newly published box art and the cover of the soundtrack CD that will be sold in Japan alongside the first print of the game.
