Since on the GAF thread are asking and nobody's answering, the character illustrations are by Akira Oguro, who designed FF4 DS's ingame characters and illustrated Hanjuku Hero 3-4. Like Yoshinori Kanada he comes from the anime industry (worked on Evangelion) and is now associated with Tokita's team.
The graphics aren't technically impressive at all. It just looks like FF4 WSC/GBA. Agito XIII will probably look like a PSP game.
this game also features multiple-character moves like in Chrono Trigger. there are over 50 according to the site.
