Tales of Vesperia PS3

[Deidara]

Tales of saga... Many of these are only JPN and I suffer tremendously for this! :(

Destiny remake never arrived: also Rebirth... and now I m trembling for Vesperia PS3 US/PAL. I think it' s early to say... but I seriously doubt this version.

Can Atlus bring here some Tales of..? Many are too old now... but Vesperia PS3... :( ...please!!!

[landlock]

As Eternal Sonata made it to US/EU on the PS3 I think Vesperia has a pretty good chance I think. I believe some of the voice actors have said they gone back to record more lines though I don't have a link.

I'd love to see Tales Of Destiny 2 release in English though.

[Eggn0g]

I think Bamco have the rights to ToV in the West, so this is out of Atlus' hands.

landlocks right, if Eternal Sonata PS3 made it to the west (even Europe lol) then ToV has a decent chance.

[Juanblue85]

As much as I want the Tales games that we are missing out to come out here it isn't going to happen by another publisher. Namco Bandai has the Tales franchise with an iron fist so they won't give it to someone else to localize.

If I can have some encoraugement on this Western release, I ll be happy ^ ^

Because... it s the second time I hear this your rumor: the first time on another forum. After that on gamefaqs some users said Joe (actor voicing Raven) has not called back from Namdai. I want the truth about this English actor vocing

WHY? If they don' t want to localize because they re afraid about low earnig... WHY don' t they leave the brand in West to other publisher?

[RayFoxSith]

^Because Bandai Namco doesn't know their audience.

Xenosaga did better than it did in Japan, but we never saw the DS remakes nor the spin-off titles.

[landlock]

It is Troy Baker the voice of Yuri.

YES!!!!! dancing

From September 4th through September 7th, an Anime Fest was held in Dallas, Texas for all you Naruto, Bleach and others' fans. Troy Baker, the English voice actor for Yuri Lowell in Tales of Vesperia was attending the event as a guest.

An attendee of the event decided to ask Baker whether or not he knows anything about an English localization for Tales of Vesperia on PlayStation 3, which should be releasing in Japan by next week. While he didn't directly respond, he did say that he and the other voice actors "were sent back to do recordings of new moves/artes".

This could possibly be confirmation that they're already working on localizing the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Possibly.

Bandai Namco seems to have an extreme aversion to localizing anything for a Nintendo system. I'm surprised we even got Symphonia 2, but I assume that's just because the first did so well.

So... there are many people expecting Vesperia PS3 localized? I hope...

[slayn]

It's not so much people are expecting it will get localized as they assume it will at this point.

My reason is because Namco Bandai cares only about the numbers not the fans so if its a game that you want as if life depended on it from Namco Bandai the you will have to pray it comes because Namoc Bandai has been known for crushing hopes especially for the first three Tales DS games that have yet to come over. **** NB I love the Tales franchise but I hate the company for this practice. I am happy at S-E though when they announced Star Ocean: The Last Hope International because its the very first game to be International.

[Deidara]

And now some guys say me "rumor about VA were only fakes"

:frown:

[Yet Another Tim]

Deidara, I don't know if you already realized this about Namco Bandai since this past July, but...

http://cdn0.knowyourmeme.com/i/351/original/over-9000.jpg?1235535897

...times busy milking Dragon Ball at the moment.

So, instead of seeing US$32.69 of my own money for a DS Tales game, Namco Bandai is making it go to Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans instead. D:

So, in simpler words, Dragon Ball x 9000 > Tales

[landlock]

Not a big DB fan but Revenge Of Piccolo looks interesting on the Wii especially as it's developed by Media Vision (Wild ARMs)

[Zacewing]

As much as I really want this to happen, it won't, because Namco Bandai are jerkasses and won't let other companies publish the Tales games.

Nothing can express my rage at this. To Namco Bandai, the fanbase is pretty much like a flaming pile of #### on someone's porch to them.

It really is a shame, because Atlus could probably do a much better job with the series, especially in terms of marketing. I've never seen an advertisement for a Tales game. EVER. Except an ad for Tales Of The Abyss that I saw at the very last page of an old issue of Shonen Jump. Whereas I see advertisements for Demon's Souls on almost every gaming website I go to nowadays.

[geostar8]

Is there any chance in this whatsoever? I don't have a 360 anymore and don't want buy another one, but absolutely want to play this game.

I can't believe Namco would localize Magna Carta 2 on the 360 but not Vesperia PS3 which looks like a much much better game and the PS3 is JRPG starved.

Very frustrating.

I remember a voice actor once listed something along the lines of "Shin Megami Tensei Special Edition" on their website. It was suddenly pulled soon after. Some time later, FES gets announced.

What if I was to tell you the Vesperia voice cast was collectively contacted to do some work. Coincidence? I think not...

Then what do you make of this article dated October 20th, 2009:

http://ps3.rpgsite.net/articles/157/166/troy-baker-interview-part-2.html


RPGSite: In Japan they are porting Tales of Vesperia to the Playstation 3 and they are expanding practically every aspect of the game, even going so far as to add a whole new main character in the form of Patty Fleur to the party. While there has been no Western release announced as yet, I was wondering if you had heard anything or have been called back to do additional lines?
Troy: No, we came back and did a couple of things several months ago but I don’t know if that was ported over for anything else. But they’re adding characters, is that what you said?

RPGSite: Yeah, a pirate named Patty Fleur. I have no idea what her role is but she may have been on the cards from the very beginning, because when you visit one of the port towns in the Xbox 360 version you find a pirates hat on which can be read ‘It has a girl’s name: Pa…’ which I can only assume is a reference to this new character.
Troy: How crazy.


Seems like he didn't know about Patty, which is odd since the character he voiced has a number of scenes with her.

[Kesseki]

I've heard some people say the VA were called in to do Tales of Versus. :| The best chance we have of knowing for sure is Q1-Q2 next year, since that seems to be when Namco-Bandai announces Tales games. They sure as hell don't let anyone else touch the Tales games.

[geostar8]

Well thanks, and sorry to bump this thread. I hope this come over eventually, like Yakuza 3 seems to be.

That actually depends on how you read it. He didn't deny knowledge of her existence and could have easily been feigning ignorance. All he said was: "we came back and did a couple of things several months ago but I don’t know if that was ported over for anything else. But they’re adding characters, is that what you said?"

To me that actually sounds like exactly what one would do in the case of an upgraded port. That is to go back and record a few more lines for the extra content.

As for the Tales of Versus rumor, isn't there only a small subset of the Vesperia cast in the game?

Of course I could be wrong but I'd say the evidence points in the favorable direction.

EDIT: Oh yeah, lets not forget about Eternal Sonata. So its definitely something Namco Bandai would consider doing.

[Zacewing]

Also take into consideration each voice actor records their lines individually and not with the other voice actors, so Troy wouldn't know Patty existed unless Namco told him.

I do think the chances are good for a US release but I have doubts because Namco is usually unpredictable in terms of Tales localizations.

EDIT: Dur I sound stupid. If Yuri has scenes with Patty, Troy would obviously know she exists. -_-;;

[Servent_Kite]

The recording rumor has been going around for a while now, their is no evidence to really suggest it's either true or false other then all we have to go on are supposed stories. The VA for Raven doesn't really know anything about the port beyond that it exists, though it's been a few months since he was talked to about that, and Troy has been hounded by fans since the rumor started so understandably he isn't responding to anything. While I want the game to come out here, it's best to not get excited over a rumor.

[iloveatlus]

bring this to state pls. namco bandai said they are not bringin it

[Manic Expressive]

Wow they really are a pathetic excuse for a localization company, (scamco shamdai) not even hearing out the fanbase on this one.

[Einherjar]

namco bandai wouldn't let them because they're assholes. And even if they would, I'd rather prefer Tales of Destiny remake.

[landlock]

Wow they really are a pathetic excuse for a localization company, (scamco shamdai) not even hearing out the fanbase on this one.

Fanbase? What were the sales like in the US? because in Europe it was piss poor it sold even less then Star Ocean 4 which was bad in itself.

[Letiumtide]

I'd rather they bring something over that wasn't already available to us, we already have Tales of Vesperia on the 360, I'm happy with that. If we got it on the PS3 that'd be fine too, I'd purchase it.

But I'd rather games we never got took priority over a rehash.

That said, it isn't up to Atlus in the slightest. Namco would never let them do it.

[Soushi_Grapple]

I want this, especially for the DLC in Japan which we probably wouldn't get anyway. It's not happening... I keep telling myself to accept we will never get a truly good Tales game...

[geostar8]

This is definately my most wanted import. Yakuza Kenzan right behind it. Namco doesn't like money I guess.

[Ningyo]

Like geostar8, this is one of my most wanted import games - I have hoped for so long that this would come out in english. Seems like chances are incredibly slim though...

What a shame. I would get it the moment it was out.

[raiku]

nambai wouldnt even do it even if it was against the law to upset customers

[Einherjar]

nambai wouldnt even do it even if it was against the law to upset customers

I think it goes more like "nambai wouldn't even do it to upset the customers".

Fanbase? What were the sales like in the US? because in Europe it was piss poor it sold even less then Star Ocean 4 which was bad in itself.

That's because people who own xbox 360 are generally gangsters that is too busy playing Halo and madden.

[Kesseki]

Didn't they claim to have no plans for Eternal Sonata PS3 shortly before releasing it? That said, any news to that effect is still discouraging. And if NB doesn't do it, it would be a cold day in hell before someone else does. :very_sad:

[Soushi_Grapple]

Namco will not release the rights to this game even if they choose not to localize it. This thread is pointless.

[Juanblue85]

So there are articles popping up lately that Namco Bandai is losing a lot of money serves them right.

Why do people keep asking for Namdai series? Everyone knows that Namdai never releases its IP's to other companies for localization.

I think there would be less negativity if it was an actually good suggestion. Nothing against Tales, I'm just including "at all feasible" as a prerequisite for "good."

So... You're saying that we won't be publishing Halo: Reach now? Aw, man...

[Foobar]

I think the whole Super Robot Taisen thing is why people think this can happen, but I feel thats more feasable to do because SRT its is of a different scope and means than something like Tales of Vesperia.

Additionally, Bamco could serve themselves better by not running Tales games into the ground anyway. They're all mediocre at best. Complaining about Persona 3 being oversaturated, but advocating a Tales game is nothing short of hilarious.'

If I could oversaturate the world with awesome, I totally would.

If you do, I'd love to hear how you get on.
The only 'course' near here is some basic conversational holiday thing, so I've considered looking in to Rosetta Stone myself (but its expensive. More expensive, although in comparison to the basic conversational course perhaps not as much as it initially looks).
I don't know anyone who has used it before though, so I'm a little wary.

Never trust a company when they say they'll never release something, thought it was obvious from atlus that if they aren't gonna release it, they say nothing about it.

IF namco was going to release the game in the us, they wouldn't announce it until after final fantasy 13 hits the shelves, since it would steal alot of it's momentum.

[Mellusia]

I'm interested in Vesperia for the fact that it's a story/character-driven RPG available on the PS3. That's really the type of RPG games I like, and it's clear to see that the PS3 doesn't have many of those. My Sony favouritism kind of got me in trouble, so maybe I should've invested in an XBOX 360, but I'll stick by my console.

So unlikely, but yeah, I know I'd buy Vesperia for the PS3 if it came out in English.

Hmmmm....well i do like the game a lot just not as much...i guess it ties in with symphonia too me, only because of certain parts in symphonia that were...easy to predict.

[Takara_Kitsune]

I'm honestly surprised this thread is still around. Namco Bandai would never let anyone touch the Tales series. Because somehow even though they don't care much for bringing all of them to America, or even some of them to other parts of the world... it's somehow their flagship series. Which is pretty funny considering Pacman technically is the mascot... and I don't think I've seen a new Pacman in ages.

Either way. Not happening. Ever.

I completely agree, I don't think Namco Bandai would ever let anyone else deal with the tails series, otherwise I think we would have seen someone take a chance with some of the DS Tales games.

Well, we even already have proof in the past... however, I don't have any documented proof of it... But I'd heard XSeed even tried to get permission to release Tales of Rebirth way back when... and Namco Bandai pretty much told them, "No, now GTFO". And this was at the point that XSeed had already proven themselves more than worthy with the localization of Shadow Hearts: From the New World.

Either way, there's just no way Namco Bandai would ever, EVER* let someone else handle a Tales game. Especially not one they've already released themselves. The only exception seems to be Nintendo. If Namco Bandai did let anyone else handle a Tales game... they'd most likely only allow one that hasn't been localized, and has no connection to any other Tales games. (So no matter what, Destiny R, Destiny DC, Destiny 2, or any of the better versions of Phantasia AKA "Not the GBA version"... will never be localized by anyone but Namco Bandai.)

*Disclaimer: I only refer to in the current climate. As Sega and Nintendo have proven... Mario and Sonic can actually somehow be in the same game and the universe doesn't implode. So in a decade things could look drastically different. But for now, it's a definite no.

[Wheels]

I wish they would let someone else handle the series over here, I mean Namco hasn't done a horrible job localizing the series over here or anything, but think the series would be doing somewhat better here if they brought games over more often.

[Takara_Kitsune]

I wish they would let someone else handle the series over here, I mean Namco hasn't done a horrible job localizing the series over here or anything, but think the series would be doing somewhat better here if they brought games over more often.

I agree with you. Absolutely, I agree with you. I think they do an excellent job on the ones we do get. (Except Phantasia GBA, that was a train wreck... "Kangaroo War"... So they can say Ragnarok in Golden Sun but not Tales of Phantasia... oookay, then...)

But... that said, as much as I'd love to see how Atlus could do on a Tales game (I'm sure they'd do wonderfully...) I don't think it would be worth Atlus' time. Atlus has their own hit RPG series, you know? Megaten doesn't translate itself. That said, Megaten is probably a lot more difficult to localize than a Tales game, so to some extent it'd be less hassle, yes.

However, this does bring up an interesting... irony... of sorts. In the "Ask a Question, Get an Answer (Maybe)" thread, I asked some questions related to Zoids... which resulted in a fact I wasn't aware of. Takara Tomy and Atlus Co. Ltd are under the same parent company in Japan... And an interesting little factoid in relation to that is, Bandai and Tomy have long been rivals. Of course, the companies are now Takara Tomy and Namco Bandai... but I'm certain the rivalry does exist still. The fact Super Robot Taisen K actually had Zoids in it was a miracle in itself (and how I learned of the rivalry, in fact...)

This being the case, Atlus USA has still gotten the rights to localize and publish several SRW titles in english... So I would imagine there's always the possibility Namco Bandai could figuratively let Atlus USA localize a Tales game... But that's about as likely as Namco Bandai letting Atari localize another Dragonball Z game.

I'm certainly not against the idea of Tales being given a shot by other publishers, but sadly, I don't think that will happen. Companies of choice for that would be Atlus USA or XSEED. NISA would be on that list, but... they're more for the quirky localization. I prefer my Tales games at least trying to stick to the point of the Japanese versions. :P

but the whole <.< japanese name being Yuri when that means....well you know, kind of throws me off.Uh, why? I see this relatively often, but it has nothing to do with the Japanese name "Yuri" or that yuri. His name is basically just George, except cooler sounding.

This. It's not like homophone doesn't exist in English. Most Japanese wouldn't even be bothered by it. The people that would are mostly those who doesn't understand Japanese save for the word along other few.

;P love how your trying to direct that towards me...you don't really have a right to say that about people, i'm already trying to learn Japanese from people =P so...yeah, i do understand and that's why i want to learn more about it.

[Shin-Chikuzo]

I hope that become don't a rumour because this one is are one of my sage of rpg XD. I am play this game in snes uni till to day XD

[sarshelyam]

I still want it...will likely import it...but darn if I wouldn't like a version my wife can enjoy as well (she destroyed pretty much every side-quest on the localized 360 version).

And a message to Bandai-Namco...release your RPG's on the PS3 and I guarantee they'll perform better than what you're witnessing on the 360.

[Wheels]

I really thought namco would have brought it over here given they did so for the PS3 version of eternal sonata. However, if namco ever lets anyone bring over Tales game in their stead (unlikely) its not going to be with a PS3 port of a 360 game that didn't sell great here. Sorry guys.

[Dotsies]

I seriously hope this and Tales of Graces are released westward of the land of the rising sun. This looks like a really fun game, but I don't feel like shelling out for a 360 for it... Especially considering there's like maybe one more game in total I'm interested in, for the 360. And Graces is like the biggest RPG-ting for the Wii so far *Wants an epic RPG for the Wii*

This is the only 360 RPG that I want for the PS3; however, I'm pretty sure this will never see the light of day over here in North America.

[VMan]

On Xenoblade's behalf, I beg to differ....

[poiuiu]

*Wants an epic RPG for the Wii*

Good luck on the wait. There has yet to be an epic game on any console to date, so I doubt there will ever be one on the Wii.
:devil:

[Juanblue85]

Well I am hearing rumors now that Tales Studio is in financial trouble now. I wonder what would happen next.

[Deidara]

I think this localization will never be released!

[Kid Marin]

Well I am hearing rumors now that Tales Studio is in financial trouble now. I wonder what would happen next.Tales of Bankrupt.

[Phoenix_Apollo]

Quick, Nintendo! Take up 90% of the stock of the Tales Studio only to use it on Japan-exclusive games, leaving Namdai or Atlus to publish some of the smaller stuff while you just sit on your hands!

This system works so well for Monolith Soft, you guys should do it again!!!

[geostar8]

Seriously has Atlus tried to talk to Namco? This situation is ridiculous.

[sdragon21]

I think Atlus should take the bull by the horn's and convince/persuade NamcoBandai into brining this and 1 or 2 more tales games stateside.

[DarkRPGMaster]

If they can...you know how Bamco is.

[Hikari]

If they can...you know how Bamco is.

Yeah, most of the games are only selled in Japan and for Japan. I have to go to Japan, buy the game, and hope I understand something. I think the latest games made actually look nice...

[Nario]

I really wish this was localized... the 360 version I bought wasn't finished. :(

[Jaina Proudemoore]

LOL want it too

[speakeasysyn]

As much as I love Tales of Vesperia there is no way Atlus would be able to get the rights.

Bamco is a jerk...it did this before with Tales of Symphonia, but it wasn't that big of a deal with a PS2 and a gamecube.

A PS3 and a 360 is like...your kidney and a part of your liver. :T

Plus all the added content in the PS3 version makes me mad.

I wish it could be localized to the US, but I don't see that happening.

(Yet they did that with Eternal Sonata/Trinity Bell)

[nutmegthepanda]

I wish this were possible. I keep checking the net to see if someone changed their minds and we're getting Tales of Vesperia for PS3. Granted, I don't have a PS3 anymore since mine is having issues, but I will either get it repaired someday or buy a new unit, so it still matters.

[Kei_Kun]

This remember me like Tales of Symphonia for Game Cube, they did PS2 version but never came to U.S.

I think It´s going to happen the same here..:very_sad:

[Yusaku Matsuda]

Would the lot of you rather have Vesperia PS3 or that upcoming unnamed PS3 Tales game? I know there's hardly any info on that but the point is, a good existing Tales game or a new one?

[Olethros]

Silly question considering the audience it's being posed to. These are gamers and as such feel entitled to everything they want with no waiting period AND a price beneath the ability of the production company to turn a profit. Also there will be zero mistakes tolerated and it HAS to include whatever language and voice acting they think appropriate. If any of these things fail to happen they will refuse to support it even if they whined, cried, begged, and generally made asses of themselves trying to get it done in the first place. Did I forget anything?

You forgot free swag. :) But I have to totally agree with you on this.

[Olethros]

Yeah, a bit on the harsh side upon re-reading it but I do stand behind what I said. I'm getting awfully sick of the demanding nature of a lot of so-called gamers. I refuse to even identify myself with that term anymore because it almost always conjures up a very negative stereo-type these days.

[Julian.Jordan]

nah its just a tad to much to ask for

[SamTheNayru]

Even though Namco Bandai said they won't release this on the PS3, I haven't given up hope just yet.
They said the same thing about Eternal Sonata, and what happened? They did release it out of Japan.

[Yusaku Matsuda]

Wait, is this addressed to me? If so, I guess you're right. That's the nature of many gamers; wanting everything instead of having pick and choose. Personally, I'd take that unnamed PS3 one though, it looks... different, judging from the concept art. :P

[Olethros]

It was in response to your post but my rant wasn't directed at you specifically, if that makes any sense.

[Yusaku Matsuda]

Makes sense. :) I'm not a diehard about Tales, but I enjoyed Symphonia immensely, played Abyss and thought it was alright, and haven't played another one since. I certainly wouldn't mind another one however, and I would be a bit sad if none of the 3 PS3 Tales games made it over here.

[Venus]

Thought you guys might find this interesting. It's good to see fans are starting to make there mark.

http://scrawlfx.com/2010/08/namcos-latest-tales-localization-statement

[DarkRPGMaster]

If they release them in the US, I will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get them...because I will do whatever I can to help make them realize that the Tales games have a fanbase over here and encourage them to give us more Tales games.

[Kei_Kun]

That`s true men... that`s true...XD

Yeah I loved Symphonia, but in general I am a Tales... fan.
You can add me to the list of wanted ps3 localization list.

Can Atlus do anything about this series?

[Inzaghi]

Why were you sharing a petition to get Sony involved in a Namco property on the Atlus forums? Come on, guys.

[poiuiu]

Worthless stuff ahead just like Namco, hey-o!.

Petitions. lol

When will people learn.

[DarkRPGMaster]

Can Atlus do anything about this series?
Their inability to grab those new DS Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation games says no.

Sooo... if that is the case, which I reluctantly have to agree with (Namco publishes their own games), then what is the point of having this thread in the "games suggestions" section? Won't it just lead to more disappointment galore?

Historically -- and unfortunately -- such logic and reason have never stopped a thread such as this to exist and even thrive on ATLUS forum. >_>

[Olethros]

Well said Tivor.

Plus, there's no evidence to support the belief that Atlus even TRIED to get the other SRT:OG games. That's just speculation and considering the fact that I believe (no proof here) that the others didn't sell too well it's entirely possible that they washed their hands of the whole business.

[aas13ul]

If Just Atlus Take Control On Publishing This Game I'm Sure We Are A Happy Tales Fan!

Time lapse between posts: 421 days, or 1 year and 8 weeks.

XD And you see? This is why no one likes Tales fans. :3 An obnoxious lot that just don't get the concept behind the word "no." I figure with just two letters, and a very, very clear message to it, it would be extremely easy.

[Olethros]

:lol:

Oh JC. Here's the thing, though. I used to believe that fans of anything Japanese were the most annoying, self-centered, entitlement challeged, and thick skulled in all of gaming. Then the fighting game community showed up here. Now, I know better. That doesn't get them off the hook by any stretch but it does certainly make them FAR more tolerable in my eyes. I'll take a dozen hot-blooded DA freaks or "screw your corporate bottom line, just give me my game" people as long as I never, EVER have to hear one more crazy fool write a page and a half diatribe in broken English about netcode!

[kolaces]

I wondered what Olethros was talking about and checked the KOF board. There's an 1800 word essay in there!

JC, why didn't you speak up when the Elminage thread got bumped?

> 11-17-2008
> 10-23-2011

1051 days, or 2 years and 11 months

I prefer thread necromancy to cloning anyway. Magic > Science.

[Olethros]

I absolutely LOVE that line, Kolaces. Magic > Science in relation to thread necromancy? Snark done right! :D

[John Cavil]

@Olethros: Well, you got a point there. The KOF crowd, in particular, are most definitely of the elitist douchebag type. I recall a thread where 20 of these jackasses wailed in a video simply because the reviewed or whoever didn't pull off a certain combo or something. I get the feeling that at least half of those jackasses got schooled by yours truly via PSN a week later. >:3 There's a certain poetry to that.

@kolaces: But, friend... :3 Elminage > Tales. Any day. Tales fans are obnoxious and the games suck majorly! Elminage, on the other hand, I can slide cause it's fairly decent. Necromancy & Cloning Blues or not. A man who waits over a thousand days to resurrect a page for a pretty good game? That deserves not scorn, but kudos.

[Blacksmoke]

JC, Olethros; if the thread was dead and/or people were sh*tposting, why do you guys come in to bitch and moan about it, and sh*t it up even more?

[John Cavil]

You do realize you coming in here saying that s**ts it up double what we did, right?

This thread was on its way to peacefully dying again. Good job, turd - you killed the director.

[Blacksmoke]

I don't see how I did double what you guys did.

It's true that me posting was just more of what you guys were doing (and so is this post), but I just felt like I had to make a point that it was unnecessary to even reply to this thread.

I wish there was a function that allowed you to reply without bumping.

[John Cavil]

Hey, Olethros? Serious b'ness, amirite?

[Olethros]

Bump! :p

[John Cavil]

:< You evil man.

[Olethros]

I know, it's awful right? :D

[izanagi_the_creator]

I don't see why Atlus would localize this game as opposed to NIS America.

[John Cavil]

Oh my. XD
