If I could...

I'd have Atlus' baby.

Man, am I looking forward to playing this game. This is a must-buy for me. :)

i'm gonna pick this up... not right away, but soon.. it sounds too interesting to pass up.

Indeed it does. Atlus' translation looks hilarious from the dozen or so screens I've seen with dialogue in them. Can't wait to try this game out.

Best. One-liner. Ever. :lol:

Frostwolf, you might want to pick it up if you ever see it, as it's an Atlus release and probably won't get much of a print run.

True this.

I'll be putting my copy up on the shelf until I finish FFTA.
