    I really want this but Im not confident on the game’s quality as fighter game yet the bonus seems nice.

    • Jeremy Yuuji Tan

      Its ok, just don’t expect arc system works levels though.

      • Saddio

        Have you seen the videos? It turned out quite well. I wouldn’t call it an inferior fighting game by any means. It’s just different.

    • Saddio

      Watch the recent videos. The quality is there.

  • xeikai

    I need this.

    • sunK1D

      The West needs this.

      • Renaldi Saputra

        but SEGA is an ass

        • DrForbidden

          Sega’ll localise it… if Sony pays for it.

          • Renaldi Saputra

            Nah but they need to make another campaign, and ppl aren’t familiar with PSP Shining series

  • GozuTennai

    We’ll never get this over here.

  • Kimihito Kurusu

    Is that Tifa?

  • Zackasaur

    If only we were allowed to Shine in the west.

    • Hayate Omega ZX

      We shine in X Zone, that’s good enough for me

      • Renaldi Saputra

        But hey, is there a Shining character in X Zone? I forgot

        • Hayate Omega ZX

          Toma, Cyrille, and Riemsianne from Shining Force EXA

          • Renaldi Saputra

            I see then
            so it’s Shining Force, not the Tony Taka one

  • Saddio

    MINE! SO importing this!

  • glasssoldier

    Are those actual sprites or are they using some 3d trickery like GGXrd?

    • http://twitter.com/SrTirano MrTyrant

      Sprites

      • glasssoldier

        awesome!

      • doubleO7

        Really? It looks 3D to me. Like they tried to emulate GGXrd, but couldn’t quite pull it off.

        • http://twitter.com/SrTirano MrTyrant

          I mean 3D sprite but not as pretty as GG xrd, i doesnt have a camera rotating 360°

  • Delicious Fried Chocobo

    kinda want this for the song cds + art book but not for the game itself lol.

  • Ace

    Cocks?

  • dark-kyon

    So this game is a excuse to sell more tony taka generics bishoujo material.

  • Crimrui

    *sigh* I hate you Sega…

  • TheMattBattalion

    Tony Taka sells everything. ._.
    That being said, I might get the game since I like fighters but I wouldn’t get a limited edition of it.

    • Walkingvirus

      I might get this game’s limited edition just because I love Tony Taka’s art. I don’t even play fighting games outside of Naruto games.
