Yeah, it's 7th Dragon. http://dragon.sega.jp/

The way I see it is... if Etrian Odyssey was Niinou's take on Wizardry, then 7th Dragon looks like Niinou's take on Dragon Quest. He talked a lot about Dragon Quest in his director diaries for Etrian Odyssey, so I'm not surprised that he wanted to make a game like that too. Has 7 classes to choose from, and 4 portraits for them. But instead of one dungeon to explore, there's an overworld, multiple towns, and all that jazz.

Music is also by Yuzo Koshiro again, and Rieko Kodama is the producer. It's like all my favorite video game people joined forces. Well, save for a few. ;_; Character Design is by Mota, who I'd never heard of before this, but I like his art so that's cool too.

This trailer shows off all the different class portraits. It's also on the official site but it loads slow as hell there.

And a look at battle scenes. The sprites are adorable.
