You can impoirt it from England, unlike the Wii, the DS isn't region locked.

Bolivar: From what I've read of how gameplay works and watching some of the boss fight videos, the gameplay sounds more like FFXII's with the player able to input commands and switch between party members. It does have some more interactive "actiony" elements (using the crossbows, hiding behind objects to get preempt bonuses to your attacks, and being able to affect the dungeons like blowing up certain structures to hinder enemy movements) but from the sound of things, at its core, its still more RPG than skilled base action adventure, or like FFXIII which was just completely automated, but looked nice.

I actually quite like the Gathering mechanic cause it actually calls for strategy (on paper at least, I can't say for sure) and is pretty unique among the genre. I'm not so wild about the online elements, but I don't play well with others.
