And there you go.

WTF are you talking about?

In answer to RedCo's question, I think Kayama and his translations have mor eto do with popularizing ST in the west than you're giving credit for. If there were translations like that availible for most of the SMT games, I know I'd own alot more.

Never played Sakura Taisen a day in my life, but I have played through Persona 1 and 2, and Maken X (even though I didn't realize it was part of the series until right now).

I'd like this one, because I enjoyed Persona 1 and 2. So I think you can just kiss my ass at this point.

Except it's not really part of the series at all. :) It is by the same team, though (R&D1) and has great Kaneko character designs.

There is a big differance between Atlus saying "We want to bring it to the U.S.!" and SCEA letting them bring it over.

SCEA wouldn't fail this game, i think. the gfx are tight, anyway, which is still the main weapon they have when they want to fail something, so they'd have to find another reason. they passed disgaea, and that looks WAY worse. like, vandal hearts straight port to PS2 vs hi-res ico or something. =)

i talked to atlus again today and got the "no decision has been made yet" thing again. i'm not exactly hanging my hopes on it at this point. i think i have enough games to keep me busy either way, although i'd be much happier with it than without it.

Keep us posted.:sweat:

I really hope this hits.
