SweetUPDATE:
There was an update on the ghostlight blog 2 days ago:
So, start your speculation.
P.s.
they're also releasing Maken Shao on PSN.

Ghostlight is asking if we would like to see more JRPGs on PC
- Thread starter Viola of the Abyss
- Start date
It seems unlikely that this would be Falcom related, since they already have a deal with XSeed.

Ive forwarded this thread to Ghostlight's community manager but in general the reaction has been positive to the question.
More JRPG's on pc would be great, since there's a distinct lack of it. Especially those that are PSP exclusive would be nice for me personally.
Do they still care about TitS though?

To use a comparison: if Rising Star was Atlus US, Ghostlight would probably be Aksys (although tbf they're probably closer to NIS America were it not for the fact that NIS America has a European branch and publishes pretty much all the games they release in the States over here).
Looking at that list I don't want a single one of those games, but I would be willing to support this effort for those who did.

Pretty sure ghostlight_ross a couple of posts above you is that guy.
Didn't realise he was registered
Hi Ross
There's some good stuff there like Persona, SMT Digital Devil Saga, Shadow Hearts etc.
I'd probably buy whatever they put out just to support them as well anyway.
Ghostlight was the European publisher of TitS, though. If there's work needed to be done to put the game on Steam, it's not completely unlikely that they would get Ghostlight to do the programming work (since XSeed doesn't have development resources).

I don't care, but I want Persona 4 Arena on my PS3 yesterday.
Me too. From Tales of Phantasia till Nier. All of them.
They haven't said if it's stuff they've released before.
They have said that their first port is going to be something that's already been translated though.
Yeah, but not that it's something they've published before.

Not sure if thread-worthy but Ghostlight just confirmed that their first PC port is coming:
Hi everyone. As you know, one of the things weve been working on recently is to bring some great console JRPGs to PC gamers and we may have just had a bit of a breakthrough: I have just heard that the contracts have all been agreed and we have signed Ghostlights first PC game.
This game has had a western release in its home console guise, but at the moment Im unable to reveal more than that. But Im sure we will be revealing more details in the coming weeks.

I wonder if they are going to make the usual mistake in these cases:
"Just to test the ground we are going to port a bad game no one gives a damn about".
*Sometime later*
"Well, it looks like no one cared about our uninteresting game, experiment aborted".
Meh, i'd rather have something PS3/360, PS2 games can be easily emulated and everyone has a PS2 anyway.
Well, it's generally probably also a matter of what they can actually get.
I think there's probably quite a few PC only gamers who didn't own a PS2. Emulation also isn't nearly as convenient as being natively available on Steam.
Aslo there's probably a lot less jRPS to choose from 360/PS3. The upside is they wouldn't look as dated as PS2 stuff.
