With Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/13/my-impressions-as-a-king/) out and tempting obsessives with DLC, it's easy to forget about the other Wii simulation game about a tiny king building a town: Ousama Monogatari (King Story) (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/04/king-story-screens-tell-an-interesting-tale/). The latest screens show off King Story's unique textured style well, but they also reveal three of the jobs that the magical king Corobo can force people to take on.
Soldiers (possibly translatable as "grunts") stay close to the king and protect him with close-quarters combat. Carpenters, labeled "normal," act both as builders and architects, designing and building new structures and roads for the town. And farmers, described as "serious," dig holes and plant crops.
Sure, these may seem obvious, but we don't think we can expect normal real-world logic to apply in a game about a kid whose magic crown makes everyone do what he says.
