Sony Computer Entertainment has announced some new tidbits regarding its light-hearted PlayStation 2 RPG Popolocrois Tsuki no Okite no Bouken. To find the game's villain, Selone, who has turned Popolocrois kingdom's entire population to stone, Pinon and his friends have to cross the ocean. To that means, they board a huge vessel called Dacato. While at first glance looking like a pirate ship, the Dacato in reality is a treasure hunter ship. Powered by spirit stones, the ship is under the command of Elena.

Following a recently announced delay, Popolocrois Tsuki no Okite no Bouken will be available in Japan sometime in March 2004 for 5,800 yen ($53.82 US).
