Atlus charges $50 for their 3DS games. SEGA bought Atlus

SEGA bringing 7th Dragon III Code: VFD to North America

The odd 3DS localization gets the shackles up, I presume.
Cause people are happy that they'll save money?
Many assumed if this came over, it'd be through Atlus, like Stella Glow.

Yeah but it's still a SEGA game.
Ah I wasn't aware of the Stella Glow situation. Guess that explains it

This one (and the 2020 games) has a futuristic setting, but the main mechanics are largely the same as the first 7th Dragon. Basically EO with 3rd person exploration and smaller parties. The game that SEGA is bring over offers multiple Squads comprised of three members each for you to set up.

Prolly my fault.

But the game isn't made by Atlus. So it's irrelevant. I think that's what Garuga is getting at.
Atlus' creeping influence.

It was supposed to be the other way around ;_; I really don't understand it

Is this a blobber?
That is strange, as if they are localizing the game into English, why not put out in all the regions you can :l? I guess they are having a big EU blowout in the coming month or so, with release dates for their retail games coming out then.

When was the last time Sega actually localised something this niche to the west.
How strange, I hope they look into their backlog and bring their missed stuff over.

that and I hope Kiwami and 6 eventually come over as well.
Would SoE be having distribution problems? maybe that's why they've been quiet on these releases?
Or they used to be at least. This is the third game Sega has announced they're releasing in the US that hasn't been announced for Europe.
It's great that Sega America is putting more effort into localizing games, but Sega Europe really needs to keep up.
Can Hatsune Miku Project Diva f be considered niche?

Cool, I will definitely pick this up.

SEGA bringing smaller stuff over. Will definitely buy this.
I'm interested, but if it's too similar to EO, I'll probably pass.
Neither is Stella Glow and that got the Atlus tax.

All SEGA Europe cares about these days is their PC games like Total War. Their social media barely talks about anything else
The release of Hatsune Miku for 3DS was an utter joke. The game was impossible to find for months after release
How can companies like NISA, Idea Factory and Koei Tecmo do it so right but a company like SEGA can't. Mind-boggling

3DS' 2016: Everything was a JRPG.
Not that I mind, at all!

This has Yuzo Koshiro's music as with the previous games, correct?

Wow, wasn't expecting this to be localized. Consider me pleasantly surprised.
I definitely think those two would be coming over now, however I hope they try squeezing the games into one year. I know 3 Yakuza games might be too much for one year but will never catch up with the Japanese schedule at this rate!
Second bit, they don't, they're bigger than SoA/Atlus! SEGA Europe IIRC distributes directly in the UK but in main land Europe they use publishers like KochMedia I believe.
I don't think this is entirely true, they're the ones behind the PC port intuitive so the reason behind Valkyria and Sonic: Lost World PC ports so it's not simply *just* Total War and Football Manager. I'm still hopeful though but we'll see.
You're right, and the director was the same director behind Phantasy Star 0 (Masayuki Kawabata) and producer (Juro Watari) is known for Virtual On.

Sega of America is in beast mode right now holy crap. Keep in mind this is without any Sonic games yet. I'll need to pick up Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (new) at some point and maybe this too, I dunno. Love the physical copies, love Sega.
The tagline for this game seems like it could apply to Sega this year:
There was never a hint of this game coming West before now, was there? The previous three didn't.
PSO2 next?

Kind of wish they rolled all of their announcements into one event, would have gotten more press coverage for sure.

Holy crapola. Now if they can bring the 2 PSP 2020 games over, maybe digital only as an offering for the Vita...

Is the lack of Persona 5 in the PR by purpose ? =P
I know it isn`t a direct Sega game, but y`know.

Glad to see Sega localizing jrpgs again.
