Game Description: Opoona (オプーナ, Opūna) is a role-playing video game developed by ArtePiazza and published by Koei for the Wii. The player follows the story of the titular Opoona as he attempts to find the location of his family from which he was separated after the occurrence of a mysterious accident during their travels. Former Dragon Quest art designer Shintaro Majima was the lead artist, with Sachiko Sugimura, who has also worked on Dragon Quest, as the planning director. Hitoshi Sakimoto, best known for composing Final Fantasy XII, produced the soundtrack, which was composed by him and his Basiscape musicians.

I heard the OSTs for this game in a random nintendo music playlist and thought they sounded hella good so I went searching to find out what the heck Opoona was and I can't believe I've never heard of it until now. It looks so expansive and fleshed out for a Wii game where most things on it are kept pretty condensed to account for the low console power. It really looks like something people would spread word of to no end until everyone knows what Opoona is but I've never heard anyone talking about it before. This video was great for finding out, y'know, what I'm actually looking at here
Great video
I miss game trailers such a good website.
I remember sinking so much time into this game when I was a kid, I really wish they'd pick it back up for a sequel someday, but that's probably wishful thinking. Always a nice feeling to listen to the soundtrack now and again though, some real gems in there.
cant see final score because of your other video review recommendations at the last part ;(
A pretty fair review really. I hope this game can fet the recognition it deserves soon.
