Guess Atlus USA's next game reveal

I'm happy we're getting Gungnir. I'd be even happier to get Growlanser IV. I'm happiest that there seems to be a good number of JRPG's coming to the US this calendar year that are outside the big name stuff like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. And I hope Atlus continues bringing us stuff like that even though it's a risk and I'll keep doing my best to support them with my wallet.

And Mr. Ireland I'm pouring one out for Working Designs as I type this. Your former company will always have a special place in my gaming memories.
 
I've had a semi-interest in Gungnir because I like ST!NG's art and have always been interested in the Dept. Heaven series, but nver got to try one. I've always heard good things about Growlanser, but could never find any decent info/keep getting sidetracked during research. The games look incredibly dated, but that's what makes the game all the more interesting to me. Some care to help me out here?

Getting the game is better than getting the game with budget voice cast.

What is the janitorial staff from Chaos Wars up to these days anyway?

If someone can complain about the boxart, I can complain about no English VA (if true). I'd be fine with the English VA they've used before.

Including English VA would likely be too costly to make sense for Atlus, considering the large amount of voice acting in Growlanser IV and the small number of people who will buy this. I'm just happy to see it get officially translated.

Then I'll just have to put it on a "maybe" list, as that would push me towards a purchase to try a series I haven't before.

You should give it a shot. It's a great place to start, one of the best games in the series. It contains refinements to all of the elements that made the 1st one great, and the 2nd and 3rd entries interesting, in spite of their flaws. I think you'd like it quite a bit.

Has the VA thing been confirmed or are we all just making rampant speculation based on price point?

Rampant speculation, only the best kind of speculation!

I wouldn't play it if it had Japanese voices. I can already play the game in Japanese, and mismatched text/voice for languages i understand is difficult to tolerate for me.
