That's a shame. As for a US release, seeing how many companies localize Korean MMOs these days (just look at K2 Networks whose entire lineup consists basically of that) I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it. However, I believe Konami owns the rights to the series in the US (correct me if that's wrong) so who knows. Eh that looks a little too generic for a game with the Ys license attached to it.

I was gonna ask you to do a little investigation on Ys Online, seeing as how you've been hanging out in Korea as of late. Being the huge Ys fan that I am, I was _willing_ to give this a try despite my moral objections to MMORPGs and pay-to-play "games" in general. Much like Ys Strategy however, sounds as though I'd best steer clear of this. At least I still have Ys 7 to look forward to... ah thanks.
