Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't most of you playing Odin Sphere over half a year ago? Why then, is the UK only now hearing about a release for the bloody thing? I didn't even know we didn't have it yet because I've not bought PS2 games in the UK for a while, but that's just a little bit rubbish. Apparently it's coming sometime in 2008, but we don't even have a date yet. Damn you Square Enix, the first decent looking game you're publishing outside of the Final Androgyny games and you can't be arsed to bring it out here.
In other news, it should hardly be a shock that more of the aforementioned Final Fantasy is on the way, with yet ANOTHER version of I and II coming to the PSP and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Really Long and Pretentious Title heading to the DS. A few other games are on the UK horizon, with a schedule that looks a little like this:
8 February 2008
Final Fantasy I & Final Fantasy II (PSP)
15 February 2008
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (Nintendo DS)
Spring 2008
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (Nintendo DS)
The World Ends With You (Nintendo DS)
Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Nintendo Wii)
Early 2008
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (Nintendo DS)
Odin Sphere (PlayStation 2)
One year, Square Enix will not publish a Final Fantasy game, and in that year, the sky will cry tears of liquid sick and all rivers shall evaporate. It has been written, thus it shall come to pass.

You bastards sure are missing out.
Wut?
... ummm nice name and check your shit.
Square Enix is releasing the Monocle version.
(sorry for double post, I didn't think of this one at first.)
I'd like to see what The World Ends With You is like though. Likewise with Odin Sphere too, if only I had a PS2...
Raimu Bitō (尾藤 来夢, Bitō Raimu?)
Raimu is a young and optimistic girl who never leaves her older brother Beat's side and acts as the voice of reason to counter him. Her nickname is Rhyme (ライム, Raimu?). She is a very bright and cheery person, and is an all-out earnest girl. Neku mistakes her for a boy at first because of her androgynous appearance.
She is not a playable character but can appear in battle in the form of a summoning badge for Neku. She is voiced by Hitomi Nabatame.
You just can't get away from it Squeenix...
In other news, an english patch for Tales of Phantasia on the PSX has just come out. Sigh, RPGs used to be so cool.
and Jim... it was released over a year now in d states @_@
Give up? The answer is...
KOEI! Maybe at least they'll get a Lu Bu Persona...
Also where the fuck is Beautiful Katamari for the 360, i bought the official xbox mag just for the demo and now im hearing it may never arrive here at all!
Originality and Innovation seem unwanted in Europe. What a waste.
