With preparations for Wild Arms Cross Fire (XF) for the PSP well under way in Japan, we were beginning to wonder what else was missing from the game's pre-launch itinerary. We already know that Media.Vision's latest title will feature inter-connectivity with the PS2's Wild Arms 5, and that it's a turn-based strategy game which will incorporate a hex grid system not unlike that from The Fourth Detonator.

There's also our recent barrage of screenshots and scans, as well as the official site which just beefs up our anticipation to levels even Luceid would drool over. And to top it all off, for today, we'll be bringing in the game's official trailer (once again, from Japan). While it doesn't share that much gameplay teasers, it should give us glimpses of the XF's upcoming characters - more importantly, the game's tunes. Enjoy the video!

On a parting note - we're not sure if it's just us, but the art's decidedly more rounded this time around - plus points for the dudes who can tell us who this latest game's character artist is!
