It'll be the same animation studio (A-1 pictures) founded by Sony that did Persona Trinity and Birdy the Mighty Decode.

Man, this tactical RPG gets an anime, but we've yet to see a Fire Erablem show. What's up with that?

That aside, I'm actually liking the look of this a lot. Seems like it's focusing on a small army unit, and I like the designs & setting.
 
Just a 2 episode OVA with the name all the way back in 1996. In particular, Path of Radiance would have made an amazing show...well, maybe the next big story.
 
Yeah, and the OVA was canceled mid-production when Nintendo got cold feet. ADV picked it up and dubbed it, but good luck finding it.

Anyway, the game is the sole PS3-exclusive game I have any interest in anymore. I am hoping this is a timed exclusive instead of a permanent one. A lot of people (including myself) will not be able to experience the game otherwise.
 
Here's some model sheets:

Looks like it might not have that whitewash effect like the game, but they could still pull it off if the backgrounRAB look like those seen in early One Piece episodes.
 
And the rest of the model sheets and screen caps here:

^(possible spoilers if you haven't played the game yet, looks like they're following it pretty closely)
 
And now there is an official high quality trailer:

Also, at the official site, the promo image on the right is rather cool.
