Wasn't this one supposed to play differently from its predecessors? I hope not, I've always wanted to play this series, but the language barrier kept me away.

[Captain Vegetable]

I'm all about this! We're getting it here in the States?! That's hot!

Hmmm . . . she kind of reminds me of Zan. That's a good thing.

"Johnny no more!!!"

[Kidnemo]

Mzo, you've been posting my thoughts before I post them all the time lately...

Knock it off! *shakes fist*

But yea, uhm...I've always wanted to try it too, but I was also, uhm...not ready to deal with the language barrier to do so.

Yea.

Edit: RPGfan is reporting that Sakura Taisen 5 Episode 0 will be an action title, not RPG; however Sega calls it "Dramatic Action," which was the same genre designation as the recently rerereleased Sakura Taisen 1 Atsuki.

The Sakura Taisen Monogatari site is here. The Monogatari title will be purely an adventure game (run around talking to the Paris division girls) and has a scheduled release next Feb 2004.

[epmode]

um.
action.. title..?

i thought it would be a slightly simplified version of the main series (ie. fire emblem usa).

[Captain Vegetable]

I'm still buying it.

[RedCoKid]

I think RPGfan is wrong. "Dramatic Action" = more of the same. I don't know what form (or if it) will come to the US.

Edit: This is confusing. I can't find an English website that's covering Sakura Taisen info.

Here's more of the same info from zdnet:
