It seems it's been canceled, as predicted by FinalMacstorm in this thread and now confirmed via his very own tweet a few moments ago.

XSEED Games has confirmed it will not publish Grand Knights History in North America as previously announced. Unfortunately, it was determined that development resources required to localize the game were not available, necessitating its cancellation. We regret not being able to bring the game to our fans, but we are committed to our 2012 lineup and look forward to sharing more on these games in the coming weeks and months.

EDIT: I don't wanna change the post's wording because I'm lazy but know that it was originally here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472017 before some mod decided to make a new thread for it.

A moment of silence for this one. Was looking forward to one last amazing time with my PSP.

[ActStriker]

Time to import :(

[Macstorm]

Since that's my twitter account being linked, here's the full statement I received from XSEED's PR firm.

[Dog Problems]

Maybe someone else will localize it? :-(

[Emitan]

At least we're getting Conception ;_;

[BocoDragon]

That sucks... :(

But I mean... it's PSP in 2012. I get it. I remember the PSP sections at locals stores being a joke 4 years ago :P

But Type-0..... :(

[NateDrake]

Dammit. At least we have Dragon's Crown to look forward to on Vita.

[Lucentto]

Well, that sucks. Incoming anger posts.

[hosannainexcelsis]

If the issue is on Vanillaware's side, getting another publisher isn't going to help matters.

At least we're getting Conception ;_;

No we aren't.

[The Grim Heaper]

it's a good thing we're still getting that first person dungeon crawler

oh wait i wanted this more ):

[Zekes!]

the last decade of human existence has been for nothing

[sixteen-bit]

No surprise there.

[johnsmith]

This is terrible news.

[Volcynika]

Feel bad for anyone that put stock in that VGPlus release date! But not really.

Noooo we are!

[djplaeskool]

Even though I imported it, more people deserved to play this.
Still feels batman

[pje122]

WTF

[HamPster PamPster]

The PSP isn't going down without a fight!

Time for Project Knightfall

[Zwei]

[Macstorm]

Even though I imported it, more people deserved to play this.

Import friendly at all?

[PixyJunket]

I knew this was too good to be true. Sigh.

Bayonetta 2, La-Mulana and now this? In two days? Gaming hates me.

[SalsaShark]

god fucking dammit.

[cyborg009]

I wanted this for online gameplay...

eh I guess I'll go finish that Wii game

[Zeer0id]

Goddammit, and so soon after that rumoured release date too. THE GODS ARE CRUEL

[ReaperXL07]

Damn that sucks...I love Vanillaware and the games they make, but with any luck this just means that XSeed and release other games in it's place. Ragnarok Odyssey, Y's Vita , and the Vita Tits game will make up for this XSeed, make it happen.

[randomkid]

well this is comically depressing

i mean, things weren't looking good, but it's kinda rare for a publisher to CANCEL a localization isn't it?

It's Ys! Ys!

Also there is no TitS for Vita.

they still have SC and Third to do so I doubt it

Guess terrible things happen in threes.

[Mutanthands]

Not at all. Circumstances change all the time.

[SabinFigaro]

:(

[Kusagari]

This that shit I don't like

:(

[ReaperXL07]

It's Ys! Ys! Also there is no TitS for Vita.

I'm unfamiliar with the Series as awhole so maybe i'm getting the title of the series wrong, but this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj2YTW3khFc is what i'm talking about.

they still have SC and Third to do so I doubt it

If they were going to do those wouldent they have already though? It's my understanding that they have been out for quite some time in Japan, if XSeed can't get SC, and Third over here for whatever reason, the Vita game seems the next best starting point. Atleast this is my understand from others that are more familiar with the series.

[Vamphuntr]

That's too bad :( The game seemed so pretty.

Feel bad for anyone that put stock in that VGPlus release date! But not really.

You should feel bad for those that gave them their credit card info when they were hacked and how they poorly handled the case.

[chickdigger802]

It's Ys! Ys! Also there is no TitS for Vita.

Just keep saying that in public ;)

[outunderthestars]

Hey Vic/Monkeypaw. Kickstart the localization of this one!

[Macstorm]

With all this bad news, I can only hope that we get some positive news out of XSEED soon. Another Vita game announcement would be great indeed.

[shidoshi]

NOOOOOOOOOO! *cries*

[El Pescado]

This news displeases me greatly...

[bon]

But I wanted to buy it and look at the graphics.

[randomkid]

Not at all. Circumstances change all the time.

Can't think of any other examples offhand, wanna help me out here? I can think of times when publishers have expressed interest in bringing something over in like interviews and stuff, but this had a press release and official razzle dazzle announcement and everything.

[Aeana]

With all this bad news, I can only hope that we get some positive news out of XSEED soon. Another Vita game announcement would be great indeed.

Let's start small.
Give a date for Ys Origin on Steam.

Someone would have to make a game for the Vita before they could attempt to localize it.

[digita1alchemy]

I am crushed. I wanted this way more than Dragon's Crown.

[Mutanthands]

Hey Vic/Monkeypaw. Kickstart the localization of this one!

What could Monkeypaw do? Buy VanillaWare and force them to work on it? The problem is on their end.

[Gunloc]

So depressing. :( I'm sad that Vanillaware didn't want to devote the resources to this.

This week sucks for video game news.

Announce TitS SC to appease me please XSEED.

[Macstorm]

Let's start small. Give a date for Ys Origin on Steam.

Bet we get that about a week before release like with Oath.

[commanderdeek]

Good thing I imported!

Really really sucks though, was hoping to actually play the online portion decently without having to use proxies and stuff.

[outunderthestars]

Ah, didn't know that. The xseed pr makes it sound like they were just too busy to do it...
