tri-Ace and Spike Chunsoft have been teasing a new JRPG lately, but while the team members revealed so far (Composer Motoi Sakuraba and Scenario Writer Masaki Norimoto) are names heavily tied with the developer's name, the one revealed today is a surprise.

As you can see below the character design will be handled by Mino Taro, who recently left Konami, and is well known for his soft and cute artwork on the LovePlus and Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side dating sim series.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how his artwork will adapt to a JRPG. Color me excited.
