Did you ever wish that Animal Crossing featured random encounters, or that maybe Cecil and Kain should stop adventuring midway through Final Fantasy IV and open a kebab stand?

Announced for a North American release on Thursday by XSEED, this hybrid title allows players to fall in love, start a family, and - if so inclined - take them along on their monster hunting.
