Though it was announced way back in 2008, we've seen very little of Ni no Kuni: The Another World. The game is a collaboration between Level 5—the developer behind the Professor Layton series and the upcoming Dragon Quest IX—and Studio Ghibli—the renowned animation studio behind classic films like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.

But now we finally have some footage of the PlayStation 3 version of the game in action. And it looks incredible.

The trailer is gorgeous and looks remarkably like a playable Ghibli film. At the 0:46 second mark there's a direct comparison between an animated sequence and in-game footage, and there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. The video also shows off some of the varied monster designs, as well as the overworld and what look to be turn-based battles.

The PS3 version of the game is set to hit Japan next year, while the DS edition is expected to be released this December. No word yet on a release for the rest of the world.
