    another game that probably wont come to the west… man it sucks being a jRPG fan.

    • MrRobbyM

      If this was on the 3DS, hell, even the Vita, there’d be a chance but this is pretty much DOA for us westerners. Ugh.

      • DrForbidden

        The previous one was DOA, so it’s 99.99% confirmed this one will be as well.

    • Vampiric

      more jrpgs this gen have been localized than any other

      we didnt get 4 shining games during the ps2 era, we didnt get 4 this gen, nothing changed

  • DrForbidden

    Wait, his name is ‘Fried’? o_0 

    Regardless of last name, his full name will always be unintentionally funny…

    • epy

      Fried apparently means Peaceful in german.

      • DrForbidden

        I see, thanks for the explanation.

  • new_tradition

    An angel with a black wing, eh? Interesting…Maybe there’s a plot bit about the poor girl(?) getting banished for that? 

  • zakou

    By the gods, another epic looking game that europeans or americans won’t be able to play in English xD, unless a patch is released…

    Maybe, it’s time to learn japanese…

    • uchiha victor

      I agree

  • Bloodios

    Oh… the grief…

    PSP – I’d love to see Japanese publishers finally switching to Vita, but it still might be a few years off.

    • Vampiric

      why? vita is a flop

      if anything most of them are already onto 3ds

      • LordKaiser

        Not this again plz.

        • Vampiric

          just fact

          • LordKaiser

            Your opinions are not fact. The Vita still have time.

      • 浪黒雷 (ro-kurorai)

        now please juxtapose my comment with yours and the answer to your question should be obvious ;)

      • DrForbidden

        One of the primary reasons why the Vita is not selling well currently is the lack of original games for it, so it is precisely that kind of attitude that is creating the problem in the first place.

  • LordKaiser

    If this don’t get localized, maybe a fan translation would happen.

  • PrinceHeir

    delicious Tony Taka art :)
