    I'm surprised they're localising this game. It's very...Japanese. I can see a lot of people getting put off by this. Can't say I blame them. Dub is fucking horrible.

    Dub is awesomely horrible, imo, but the official website states it will include all of the original Japanese voice overs too so it's not an issue. The game (via wikipedia) sounds pretty awesome to me, as long as the combat system is good, and I imagine that's so given its following.

    "The first Sakura Wars game to reach North America, Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love takes the franchise to America with the franchise's first story set in America, following a new hero who joins the US version of the Hanagumi. Demons have appeared in New York, and its up to Shinjirou, Gemini Sunrise and a new cast of characters to take them out. The cast serves as performers during the day and warriors when called upon, continuing series tradition."

    "Sakura Wars is a strategy RPG that features a unique sim-based story system. Character interaction plays a major role in a storyline that never follows a set course, and your responses to the various characters in the game can ultimately change the story content and even the final outcome. The battle system is divided into two main parts; ground combat and air combat. Ground combat takes place using two-legged mechanized suits, which transform into jet fighters to take the fight to the sky. Every mech unit in the game can transform from battle mech mode to jet fighter mode."

    Thank goodness.  I can stand some dubs but, just listening to the trailer made my ears bleed.

    I replaced the vid in the op with the extended trailer (still dubbed). It was only 1:30 before, now it's much longer.

    I'm glad NIS didn't try and pass this off as a PS3 game. They're learning.

    I think that was meant to be a sexual euphemism.  What do you think?

    Nah there is no way that a Japanse developer would do such a thing ^^

    That is so racist.  You said Japanese.  We all know, theoretically, that any developer can make a sexual euphemism regardless of race, sex and ethnicity.  Of course, this is all theoretically.

    Never played a game where the voice acting was this bad. Might be the first time I actually use a japanese dub option in a game. Still, it's about time the series came west.

    Some impressions here. It sounds pretty cool. I didn't even realise it was so celebrated in Japan. Or so old (2005). I also read somewhere (edit: doh, it was on the wikipedia description I linked in this thread, lol) the graphic adventure parts can completely change the course of the storyline so that should be pretty cool. Kind of a non linear JSRPG.

    A definite must have for me.  You certainly cannot get too much SRPG.  I love TBS above everything in gaming.  Looking forward to April 2 then - if they bother to release it in Australia. 
     
    March sometime release for the USA and it will likely be cheaper than the local release ($55 US), so I may go that option
