WOO HOO! Another Falcom self-developed PC to PSP port! This time it's Legend of Heroes VI: Sora no Kiseki FC (First Chapter)! Fans of Lunar will REALLY dig this game imo. 2D backgrounds with 3D effects and machines. Strategy style battle system. Cute chibi characters!

Whoa awesome, now this is what the PSP needs more of. Hopefully they'll hurry, and bring this over (with Gurumin).

Great news. I love the series. BUT! Legend of Heroes 3, Legend of Heroes 4 and Legend of Heroes 5 are on PSP too, right? As well as Ys 6.

*EDIT* OIC, self-developed... nevermind.

That grabbed my interest, Lunar is my favorite RPG series. If the story and characters are like Lunar then its a must buy for me. I liked SoA because the story and characters reminded me of a Lunar game. Hopefully someone will release this in the US.

Looks great... but are we people outside Japan even getting Gurumin? I sure hope so, but chances are way too slim and while the previous game looks relatively import friendly this certainly isn't.

If Falcom proves to be as capable on the PSP as they are on the PC, then I wouldn't be worried about Gurumin and LoH6-FC at all. There are plenty of US companies wanting to release games like these on the PSP. Hopefully sales in Japan don't completely tank, it'll be nice to have LoH6-SC too.

Edit: Oh and the release date in Japan is confirmed for 28th Sept.

So this one doesn't suck pounds of ass like Bandai's LoH ports?

Those weren't ports, they were actually complete remakes of the older LoH which haven't been remade for a good several years. The key problem with many of the console/portable Falcom games before now was that they were always REMAKES by developers which weren't really all that keen on the product to begin with (or just plain incompetent). This time Falcom's porting their most recent PC efforts and doing it themselves so barring terrible technical problems, yes they won't work.

This is good news, indeed! First-party ports, hooray!
