Am I missing anything? What's everyone looking forward to?

Aeana · Mar 30, 2012

I wonder if Persona 2 EP PSP will make it to NA within 2012. Atlus sure is busy.

(Update on Growlanser 4, pls)

darkside31337 · Mar 30, 2012

BRS might still be 2012. At least its not officially canceled yet.

zerokoolpsx · Mar 30, 2012

Is it the last year of the psp? I'm dying for a good SRPG. Gungnir looks interesting.

Seconded.

entremet · Mar 30, 2012

I'm guessing all these are vita compatible? Can't go back to the psp with LCD screen.

Bladenic · Mar 30, 2012

Is that Unchained Blade game any good?

Only one I'm interested in isn't even listed (and doubtful to be released

...).

Sallokin · Mar 30, 2012

Is FF Type Zero not confirmed for a western release? I thought it was being worked on.

Loomer · Mar 30, 2012

Grand Knights History sure looks pretty.

It is.
But it might not come for PSP.

Dwayne · Mar 30, 2012

There's those rumours of Final Fantasy Type 0 too.

Edit: Beaten to the punch

cj_iwakura · Mar 30, 2012

I'd add Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. No way in hell is that not being localized.

Sallokin · Mar 30, 2012

Aeana said:

Ah I see. Glad that it's at least going to get some kind of release then.

If this is true, I sure wish S-E NA would stop dicking around and announce something. =(

PixyJunket · Mar 30, 2012

Grand Knights History might be in trouble according to an interview with XSEED.

http://www.rpgamer.com/features/2012/interviews/xseed2012int.html

MAC: We're curious, are there any updates on when we'll be seeing Grand Knights History?
KB: Unfortunately, no updates at this time. Localization is on hold as the dev team is busy with other projects right now.

The PSP is a ticking time bomb at this point, so this is really unsettling news.

Teknoman · Mar 30, 2012

I want an update on Grand Knights History. Gungnir i'm sure of because it looks like a fairly normal Sting RPG, i've kind of got my eye on Growlanser IV.

EDIT: Ah c'mon....damn.

chickdigger802 · Mar 30, 2012

Wait... the first 2 aren't the same game? Thought one was the subtitle of the other...

Can't complain here!

Any non rpgs to pay attention to though?

Growlanser is like no other SRPG ever made. It's real-time line-based combat. Very unique.

lordfroakie · Mar 30, 2012

You're missing the new digimon world game

Ken · Mar 30, 2012

GKH is alright. It's really an online-focused game so I felt that the offline content was a little weak. The art style and animation is really nice though.

I'd be surprised if it doesn't, it comes out in Japan in May doesn't it?

Yeah, it's just that Atlus USA suddenly has a lot of games going.

Never thought I'd see the day when Persona plays second fiddle to Growlanser.

Dwayne · Mar 30, 2012

Added Black Rock Shooter, hopefully they start talking about it soon rather than it slipping away..

Lombax · Mar 30, 2012

Grand Knights History looks kind of amazing. Whats the deal with this game?

RedBoot · Mar 30, 2012

Well, if we do see Eternal Punishment this year, it probably wouldn't be until Oct-Dec. Which is, actually, about the same time period I'd expect for P4 Golden. Hopefully that won't cause any issues...

You create and level up squads of units offline and send them into a territorial war online between the three warring factions.

Well to be fair I don't think this is the case. They've simply announced Growlanser before since well P2 EP wasn't announced in Japan yet ;P

And for one, I won't complain since they are taking a huge risk with Growlanser IV anyway.

I do wonder if they will retranslate the whole thing or simply edit the script they had for the original release.

sounds awesome! if this ends up being a digital download I might have to pick up a Vita.

I think they'll have to go through the whole thing. As good as EP's script was, it counted Revelations' 'Lunarvale' events as canon.

I always use that as my reference point for how good EP's writing was.

Kazerei · Mar 30, 2012

Atlus and XSEED <3

Edit: and NISA!

LiquidMetal14 · Mar 30, 2012

I'll be getting at least 3 of those games. Growlancer 4 for sure and likely Black Rock Shooter. That is the low end as 4 others look might interesting.

Cactus · Mar 30, 2012

Definitely buying Growlanser but I'm not so sure about the others.

I'll buy Persona 2: EP if

when

we get that, too.

Thores · Mar 30, 2012

I really, really hope that the Grand Knights History delay doesn't end in a cancellation. It's been a priority on my radar since last year.

Metallix87 · Mar 30, 2012

Was Black Rock Shooter at NISA's press event tonight?

Ken · Mar 30, 2012

Lombax said:

It's...alright.

I was kind of expecting it to have a good single player for people who never wanted to go online with it but I never found said single player content.

Volcynika · Mar 30, 2012

Green Slime said:

No. It's still being worked on, but they can't talk about due to contractual reasons.

So is it unlikely to be a 2012 release, then?

Seconded.

There will probably be more on Wayfarer of Time before too long. It's in QA now.

Also, for the OP's benefit, Growlanser WoT and Gungnir will be digital releases as well. And there's technically no "IV" in the title of the US version.

They're trying for this year. That's not sounding good if you ask me.

I hope they make it. Not sure what kind of market there will be in this region for a PSP game in 2013...

Kincaido · Mar 30, 2012

So excited for Growlanser. July can't come soon enough. I want BRS too. Hopefully there's an update on BRS soon.

They should work for Vita, right? As much as I want physicals for these, I think Vita playing trumps it.

...I'll probably cave and get physical copies later

This is oddly relieving. Part of me was fearing a last minute snafu.

Excellent, my money is ready.

To be fair, Growlanser does not have the best track record in the US. It's like a curse.

I preordered Generations months before it actually released. You can imagine how fun that was.

I don't know if you or Shouta could take something happening to Growlanser :x

And after the reveal thread for this, not sure I could either
