Of course not, I just kind of wish it didn't look like they've mostly abandoned it. I feel like they were behind the PS2 for way longer than they were behind the PSP. They were already ignoring it even before the Vita came out. Also, it's ten years old? Wow! But yeah, I wish we wouldn't be so quick to leave behind systems for new and shiny things, after a certain time, the only new PS2 games were RPGs too. |

Here's the thing: The third game REQUIRES Xseed to continue on with the series. Given how long it took any news to come about SC, I honestly doubt that we will get the third game and beyond UNLESS people speak with their wallets. Given how the first game's sales were, however, I'm a little hesitant to say without a doubt the third game is going to get released. Prove me wrong, SC and FC Steam edition sales! |

I feel the same way, but then again, I tend to be a late adopter of new consoles, unless there's a game I reeeeeeally want. I like to wait until there's a reasonable amount of games I want to play. It does seem that the PSP didn't seem to do as well here as in Japan, which is probably why they tried to move to the Vita so quickly. |

@tasogarentoome
Tell me about it, I'm only planning to get a PS3 this year! There are games I want to play, but I could also use the Bluray player. I tend to get new handhelds a bit faster, Pokemon is clearly going to make me get a 3DS (and now I'm glad I waited cus I can get the awesome Pokemon XY XL!) |

Vita TV: Sony has absolutely no clue what they're doing with the Vita, do they?
Shantae: Hopefully this at least gets funded. Also, it suddenly occurred to me that due to Shantae being a half-genie it sort of makes her one of the few Arab-descended heroes in gaming. Phantasy Star Nova: I do wish people would stop with these MonHun clones. GGXrd: Some of the character designs do look similar to the new ones in Xrd, though we'll see how that goes. I also wish they'd confirm Baiken for Xrd |

I've seriously lost a lot of respect for Aksys.
Are you forgetting of the of the games that made you popular in the US. A little series called Record of Agarest War, which basically had major elements of eroge, ie the male version of otome games. "its handled a little weirdly". What the hell does that even mean? There are plenty of eroge then are as neutral as some of these otome, and on the flip side I am dam sure there are some pretty explicit otome games. So I just view this as a slap to face of one of Aksys bigger demographics. Sure some other companies release eroge, but there is almost no market for console versions here, unlike in Japan. There is nothing stopping them from making these games. Agarest spawned a sequel and prequel. Thousand Arms is still one of the more fondly remembered niche games, and lets not forget Sakura Wars. Pathetic really. I have no problem with the otome games, I have the LE of the first Hakuoi game, and plan to get sweet fuse, but his comments were very off putting. I could make just as many snide comments about a male game designer putting out a primarily female oriented game, as I could about someone who likes male dating sim games. |

I am sad nobody here is talking about The Wonderful 101...
Based on what I played in the demo, I feel I've not begun to scratch the surface of what it has to offer. The dodge a block mechanic definitely feels like there's going to be some real tough encounters later on. |

Sweet Fuse is a blast.
There is a lot of humor in this game, and the protagonist is really strong and sticks up for herself. Thanks for the interview. I will buy any otome game that gets localized here. I will even buy new consoles to play them (i.e. Vita) --I am really surprised that no one has started licensing the "Alice" games. Judging from the steady sales of all the manga adaptations, those would really sell. |

I love Hakuoki and Sweet Fuse is brilliant as well. Saki is a great protagonist and the game has a lot of humour as well. The faces of the guys whenever Saki gets angry crack me up every single time.
I already know that I'll buy all the other otome games that Aksys decides to release in the future. It's just such a shame that they probably won't be released on PSP, because that's my favourite console by far. |

I was surprised too, because, like you said, it would seriously sell. However, at this point, I'm starting to think QuinRose is demanding a lot of money for it. [sigh] |

Aksys is amazing. I will buy any otome games they plan on localizing here in a heartbeat. Princess Arthur? YES. Alice series? YES. UtaPri? YES. That Sherlock Holmes one? YES. and.... surprised to hear the mention of Black Wolves Saga as it's one I've been keeping my eye on for a while. And, of course other stuff like Disorder 6, Ever 17 etc etc (ok, shutting up now because I could go on... forever, and ever, and ever). Regardless, hope Aksys thinks about localizing the new Hakuoki announced for Vita as I'm a huge fan of that series too.... and hopefully, maybe, perhaps they think about localizing some visual novels for consoles
 would make a lot of us very, very happy.
Sweet Fuse is great and I'm having such a blast with it so far, gone through four scenarios and the only character I actually actively dislike is Mikami (for good reason but all the same...) *coughs* Anyhoo. Thanks for the interview, very enlightening and glad to hear that Aksys is supporting otome games, as they're quickly becoming my favorite genre (even outpacing JRPG's *shock*) And yes, why yes, I do have the 3DS version of Hakuoki preordered. Despite the fact I 100% completed the PSP version. Yup. ...... |

I've also heard the PSP versions of the Gagharv games replaced the PC version's battle system with a more generic one. Would you know anything about this? |

Wait until you get into doing multiple Unite Morphs at once. I forget the name of the channel, but there is one guy doing extensive tutorials for the game. |

I want to comment that Trails in the Sky SC was never in that category. Everytime that someone asked XSEED about it, the answer was "we're working on it" - and that was the truth. A game this giant doesn't happen in a short period of time, once they had more information for when they could reliably release it and (most likely) tie up loose ends contractually, they were in a position where they could announce it.
I actually have a demo video of how the combat in the PC versions works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYVPXDWNZd0 (Make sure you have the annotations on. I explain information with them.) This is what Namco-Bandai's PSP port looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uQHTAeEh_w |
