Both the PS4 and PS Vita versions of Fallen Legion are expected to release for North America and Europe in Summer 2016.

Happy to see more stuff come for the Vita.

I Am Setsuna is headed to the West on the PS4 and Steam. This looks like a great RPG! I'm super excited.

I saw that this morning. I noticed it only said PS4 and steam which, sadly, could mean digital only. I hope not.

I'd imagine the physical version for the PS4 will come west; they know how big Chrono Trigger is and obviously it's a nod to that. Shame the Vita version isn't coming over at all.

I think it's because they know that the Vita is essentially dead in the water here in the states. It is a shame; I love the Vita and think this game would have been perfect for it. Still, I'm pretty stoked about this title. Folks keep saying it's a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, when actually it's a spiritual successor to a bunch of RPGs of yesteryear. I recall a developer saying that Chrono Trigger was one that inspired him the most.

Don't lose hope! :) Square Enix has said that there's still a possibility that the Vita version might get localized if people bug them about it enough. Probably would still be digital only tho.

That's wonderful. I'd still prefer a physical copy, so I would go with the PS4. But, hey, if it means that the Vita gets more love then I'm all for it.

List updated! Biggest news I saw that hasn't already been mentioned in the thread is the official release date for Zero Time Dilemma - June 28. Also the first trailer is out:


Be warned, I watched a few seconds of it and it looks spoiler-riffic.
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed
if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I
became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the
desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis

Atelier Sophie is headed to North America, because 'Murica isn't the only country on the continent even if we occasionally forget it isn't. :-[

FTFY ;) <3

The preorders for the limited edition are available now too: https://store.nisamerica.com/atelier-sophie-limited-edition

I'm not sure what FTFY means, but thanks for pointing that out. Here I am fighting for equality and I forget our lovely neighbors to the north and the spicy ones in the south.

Yes, Atelier Sophie is headed to North America. I just finished placing my pre-order.

This is what happens when you don't get your coffee in your system before checking the news.
