Great, will be picking this up. Surprised they didn't wait until E3 for this announcement. Probably will be announcing the date at that point.

Has Atlus even developed or localized anything for the PS3, yet?

The timing of this announcement is perfect, as I was hoping to buy the Asian version of Demon's Souls at a con this weekend. Whew. I'm looking forward to buying the Atlus version instead. Man, does that company rule or what?

Very good, been going back forth over the last few weeks and I'd decided to wait for E3 before going with the Korean version. This and White Knight make the Triple the RPG console this year.

I'm writing them a thank you note as we speak. I've been on the fence over importing for a while now. Thankfully the backorders kept me from impulse buying.

While at it, ask them if they'll spread the manjuice in Europe.

I got the Asian version for my B-Day back in March. I'll buy it this time around to show my support of the NA version. :D RPG of the fuckin' Year people.

So the world may be mended...

It's not really that bad. You respwan when you die and keep any weapons or items you've found. The only thing you lose are your collected souls, which can be regained by returning to that spot again.

Of course, I've probably died 50 times and am not that far in. :D

What's up with the Europe-begging in this thread? I'm also European, but when it comes to PS3 buying the games in NA is often cheaper than buying them locally, or at least not more expensive (unlike eg. importing from Asia). I'll get this Atlus NA release.

They don't have to do anything! I hope they are smart enough to know it's all in English already! Just bring it over and don't change the cover or anything else!

Nice! Finally, an Atlus current gen console release worth the price they will ask for it! :D

Good job Atlus!

Possible DLC incompatibilities. There's no way in hell I'll buy DLC from other regions (don't ask why), and there is a possibility that some (substantial) DLC might arrive for this game in the future.

I actually was the first person on GAF to get the English copy of the game, but it's just too much of a kick in the dick in the balls for me :(

Screw that, they should charge $100. Only the hardest of the hardcore are gonna buy it and it's worth whatever they want to charge. WHATEVER.

It's all in English, but some of it (particularly item/weapon/spell descriptions) will be cleaned up a bit. We've found a few such descriptions that were translated to say the opposite of what the Japanese meant...

Dialogue will largely be left alone, though, apart from fixing up some of the punctuation.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Atlus added their own touches to the game. I definitely would not be surprised if they did some kind of limited edition with an added bonus for preordering.

Besides, my whole point was they would need a PS3 dev kit for any kind of work. Wasn't even sure they had one. :lol (No offense meant, Nich)

Either way, maybe a good sign for P5 or SMT4 on the PS3?

That sucks, man. Hopefully, you'll get that wish at least in some form or fashion.

That's great news. More clarity will definitely make figuring out what's going on a bit more manageable. Especially, if you guys could include a detailed explanation about world tendencies.

Wow. I just hope they leave it intact and don't mess with the brutality.

(actually, a change to the world tendency rules might be ok, Atlus)

Some of us don't like importing.
Thus the begging.

I'll have to ask why. I bought the NA version of Disgaea and lots of its DLC with point cards (cheap on Ebay, in fact often cheaper than buying the same DLC in EU), and I plan to do the same for quite a few other games. If there is any problem to expect with that I'd like to know.
