Hahah, I see what you did there

Gonna try to update the OP tomorrow later today guys - I was sick all last week & haven't completely shaken it still. I appreciate the help in posting updates, makes my job a little easier.   That Republique LE is *very* tempting, primarily for that book. Gonna have to think about that one. Not a bad price either!

I dont mind helping keeping this up to date bro if you want.

[desocietas]

Yeah, and no pressure on how quickly it happens - totally so appreciative that everyone shares this info with each other

7th Dragon III Code: VFD has been announced for a North American release on the 3DS by SEGA this summer.

This will be the first time the RPG series from Imageepoch gets a release outside of Japan.

I haven't seen an English trailer for it yet, so here's a Japanese trailer

*Edit:
-Found the English trailer

They did file for bankruptcy last year, and this was originally released in Japan late last year, so it's probably their last game unless somebody else buys them and lets them continue their work.

Stella Glow was Image Epoch's swan song. Is this a port from one of the PSP entries?

EDIT: Anyways, Grand Kingdom is getting a variety of CEs.

Those look pretty cool. I'll have to pick one up for those nice faux-leather hardcover 128-page art books.

Here's some pics.

Pre-ordered on the Vita. Thanks for the heads up  

[desocietas]

If anything, I think the launch edition goodies will only come with the PS4 version and not Vita. CEs, however, will have all the goodies regardless of platform

Ugh, why two different CEs? NISA is killing me.

I don't really need posters, but I love the idea of the pins. Also, what is up with the trend of including decals/stickers as part of a CE?  They're not that useful for me :/

[kashell]

After watching the footage, I don't think I'll be getting this game any time soon. If at all. Still, those are some impressive looking CEs.
