Co-op gameplay?

From Game Informer July 2007 Phill Harrison interview:

That doesn't mean we've de-emphaszied Japan. We have this reasonably successful billion-dollar IP called Gran Turismo that you might be familiar with. That's obviously a major force in the market whenever that title is shipping. Any iteration of the Gran Turismo franchise has become a global event. Our Everybody's Golf series, known as Hot Shots in the States, has been very successful. And a title that is coming out in 2008, called Shirokishi [a.k.a. White Knight Story], which is an amazing RPG [with] very rich and deep online features., I think will be a global hit as well.

He wants to destroy previous norms in JRPGs, for instance, he wants HP to be represented by small colored gems on the screen rather then numbers. He also wants to express the condition of the chracters more through facial expressions and body language rather then numerical parameters on the screen. So a hurt chracter will show fatigue on his face and body language. Game also will be played out in real-time(as seen in the video) and will be focused on a combo system (up to 7-hit combo).
