Sorry I didn't take the time to read every f'n comment on this site... I read the first 4 rules by Onion and thought that to be sufficient... And I sincerely doubt that Atlus U.S.A. wouldn't pay attention if enough people lobbied for an Atlus of Japan title like G1 (i.e., the part of your quote that states it would "GENERALLY never work." ) While Atlus does largely publish hardcore niche titles here in the States, you would be a fool to think that some of their business decisions aren't primarily motivated on making a quick buck... Latest case in point: 101 Game Megamix.

So as I previously stated, I'm just here to keep the discussion alive. I want Atlus to realize there are still people interested in playing G1 in English for the first time. And I personally would much rather see anything other than another P3 remake; that's time that could be spent localizing something we haven't seen twice already... Also, don't misinterpret my use of the word "lobby." It's not like I'm writing a petition or getting hundreds of friends to back me up on this; I'm just one person voicing my frustration at this situation...

^You can drop the attitude man. Seriously, I am getting slightly tired of people getting bent out of shape over ridiculous stuff.

Yeah, you might not be able to read every comment on a message board, but you should make a note to read threads that are stickied by mods - especially when you are new.

You need to rethink your definition of lobby. It is flawed.

I am surprised the game has not been annouced yet seeing how it is part of the ATLUS catalog. Maybe we will hear more next year.

No, I don't think it is...

I'm here trying to stimulate discussion with fellow posters on this thread to keep the powers-that-be aware that people are still hoping for a release...

And I'm not having an 'attitude,' nor 'bent out of shape...' That's just me being me... If you knew me you'd know i'm a d**k naturally, I'm not like some people who try to be one... Like I said, I read the first 4 rules by Onion, don't have the time in life to waste on boards; hence, why I don't normally post anywhere about anything... But I do enjoy the Growlanser series and have gotten some good feedback from fellow posters since joining... Peace and chicken grease-

^That is just it, hardly anyone on the internet actually "knows" anyone when interacting on a message board. "You being you" can come off as abrasive. Being a natural jerk, your words, not mine, isn't an excuse. Like I said before, drop the attitude and talk about the games you like without going overboard.

As far as lobby is concerned, see definition 5 in what you listed. You don't have to write a "petition" or "get hundreds of friends to back you up" as you had previously stated. Lobbying can be the action of one person.

Basically, its trying to convince someone with power over decision-making by forcefully restating an opinion over and over again. Since it has already been established that the admins and mods only have a limited amount of input on these matters in the first place and that Atlus has its own reasons and circumstances, perhaps it would be best to stop making sharp edged comments toward them. Expecting them to give in just because we post again and again is kind of ridiculous. I only post here because I hope it will happen... for me its like tossing a coin in a wishing well. I don't seriously believe I an effect the outcome this way.

At least NISA put in trophies for the english release of Cross Edge, but I guess Ghostlight doesn't roll like that.

Well there's always the 2010 domestic release of Agarest by Aksys... I heard it was delayed because they were going to add trophies... And have Arthur C. Clarke pen the U.S. translation...

T-T-T-TRIPLE POST

it's like you're BEGGING for this topic to get locked.

I really hope it gets released here. Growlanser Generations is probably my favorite SRPG of all time (The only other thing that even comes close for me is Shining Force 1 & 2). I don't even own a PSP, but I'd seriously buy one just to get this game.

Amen to that, although I would have added Shining Force III (bought a Saturn just to play it), Shining Force CD (which might be my favorite SF game) and also Stella Deus (because it's the only SRPG I've ever played that had huge, lean sprites as opposed to the typical short, squat characters).
