Description:
Featuring an intricate grid-based tactical combat system, Jeanne d’Arc allows players to implement numerous special attacks and defensive strategies in turn-based battles. Players will acquire multiple characters during the adventure and will be able to use them within each battle, combining skills to create powerful combat strikes.

Showcasing incredible visuals, a rich story that melds history and fantasy, and a deep combat system, Jeanne d’Arc is ready to deliver hours of strategic RPG action to gamers anytime, anywhere.
Far in the past, a great war was waged by mankind against demonic armies attempting to enter the human world. During that time, five brave heroes created armlets to restrain the demon gods. Enter the 15th century, as France and England battle during the Hundred Years’ War. In a quest to turn back the rueful army, a young crusader named Jeanne is commanded by voices to use the power of the mysterious armlet that appears on her wrist to seal away the demon king and recover her homeland once and for all.

Heh, I guess I'll try that then.
Just tried for the better part of 2 hours to try and get it to load through usb via irshell 3.61, with no such luck..
Thanks headshot, forgot about CSO.
EDIT: Wooo, CSO'd and now running fine on 3.52 M33-4!
This game is of excellent quality, I'm only 4 or 5 missions in but I am instantly drawn in to this game. The GODSPEED move is very fun.
I'm only now taking a break because my PS3 has just arrived.

Very similar, yet with its own touch.

that's what I thought at first too, but it's getting extremely good reviews so that's reason enough to check out the game despite it's visual style if you ask me.

Anyone manage to get past the Altois prairie without serious levelling?
Haha; get super confident storming through wave after wave of weak lizard men and foot soldiers then all of a sudden massive fucking dragons that kick your ass.
Great game though; find the combat in these games more deep and rewarding than most traditional RPGs tbh.

the battles will probably be the only thing that interests me... i really dislike the characters (that jeanne bitch is a little fucking theif!! look a dead guy on a horse! LETS ROB HIM!!) and the dialogue is cheesier than an 80's american dubbed japanese cartoon... but the combat and customisation atleast seems interesting

I started fucking the cutscenes off pretty early tbh, the combat though is like Advance Wars in many ways.
