i see in the tags section that you added ps2 as a tag, but i think maybe you should mention what system this is for somewhere in the article or headline. coming from the main page, i wasn’t sure … unless i missed something, which is entirely possible.

@Savory - Wow! Thanks for pointing it out. After reading the adjacent caption there is an English option. I’m pretty surprised Sega is including both sets of ROMs here.

@jeffx - Octomania is being distributed by Atlus, but Conspiracy still has a hand with it. Actually, Atlus partnered with them to bring Panzer Tactics DS to a wider audience too.

Actually, if you look at the Phantasy Star Collection page on the Sega Ages site, it shows a screen shot with in-game English text:

Look at the Nei shot from PSII. I hope this is a good indication the English versions are in it.

Such a shame this wonâ€™t see an English release. I remember when Conspiracy Entertainment were slotted to localize the previous compilation. Now look at the crap theyâ€™re releasingâ€¦ except Octomania. Their page says Q4 2007. What happened with that, Spencer? Wasn’t that eventually picked up by Atlus??
