On Atlus' official forums, they were having fans guess what their upcoming title announcement was. Too bad Play-Asia had to go and ruin things.

Play-Asia just listed a new title called Eternal Poison. This will be the US name for Poison Pink, a stylized strategy RPG from the makes of Summon Night. If you'd like to see more of what Eternal Poison will look like, take a peek at some of the images from the Japanese Poison Pink Web page

From this same leak we learn that Eternal Poison will also come with a soundtrack CD, and that we can expect a November 28th release date. Looking at Play-Asia's pricing, I'd gues it's safe to assume a launch price of $39.99.

I'm already looking forward to getting my hands on this. What about you?

I really like the style of a lot of the Atlus games, but I don't want to play anything on my PS2 anymore! I would love to see these games placed on one of the modern console's downloadable services or put on the Wii sans gimmicky control.

I may be in the minority, but I'm sick to death of the PS2's poor connection to my HDTV and dated, wired controller.

Wait.
Two weeks before Persona 4?
Atlus, we know the PS2 won't live to see 2009...but this is game 4 I've now pre-ordered to come out Oct-Dec.
All I'm saying is...I need to buy Christmas presents for other people too.

HarassmentPanda: Atlus doens't really have any say about it. It's up to the developers to put it on other systems, and if they don't want to it's their call. This is a Bandai-Namco game, and as such, Atlus was lucky to secure the rights to publish the PS2 version.

I'm day one-ing this because I have a sick addiction to SRPGs and know I won't be able to stop myself from buying this, even with Persona 4 coming out right afterwards.

Looks like the C-Bloggers guesses were correct with this one. Oh why, Atlus? Im not even done with Persona 3 yet, so many good-looking RPGs you spoil me so.

I realize Atlus doesn't have any say in the matter and I'm glad they bring over the titles that they do. I'm just expressing my desire to play these beautiful games on something other than my PS2 -- I don't expect it to actually happen.

Poison Pink sounds like a) videogame trap upskirt or b) a fleshlight thing.

WTF did that trailer have to do with the damned advertisement?! I saw no cats with green eyes! (Who was a dead ringer for Goto from Raido: Devil Summoner).

Thank God they are changing the name for the US release, but I would have loved to have seen actual gameplay screens from in that trailer. I *thought* I saw like 3 flashes of gameplay kinda of opaque in the background but it went by so fast....

Yeah, after watching this gameplay video, there's no way in hell i'm touching this game. What the hell is with the 10 second blank white screen to load a 3 second attack animation? That shit is just painful.

@ohGr - Good lord. That is AWFUL. Not to mention how it jumps from being anime sprite based to 3D animation and then back to gritty ole' sprites.

Perhaps if they removed the 10 second white screen delay it wouldn't be so bad but that just looks like its going to ruin the whole battle flow.

Good points: Beautiful gothic fashion, dark RPG, sweet-looking anime-characters, available for PS2. :O)

Bad points: Retch-inducing 3-D models. :O(
