Very cool interview. I specially like the last line Mr. Jabbari said.

It’s nice to get a summary of the three different SRPG’s they’re publishing this year. I find Operation Darkness intriguing, but I wonder if the game is as broken as reviewers say it is and it’s something that hard to overcome. I really want to play Spectral Force 3, but, alas, no Xbox 360.

Yeah Spence, too bad it isn’t region-free like they said in the interview. I was like one click away from getting the US version online, somehow I stumbled upon this incompatibility comment while chk’ing up on some forums. Now I really regret not grabbing the Jpn version for $50 from PlayAsia’s summer sale :(

I liked the Eng. voice acting okay from the demo, except I wish some of the voices were done by real Brits instead of people doing accents. Maybe they would port it to PS3 like Eternal Sonata in the future?

@Aoshi00 – I thought it was region free too care of Atlus forums with a Q&A e-mail response, but it isn’t :(. The voice acting for Operation Darkness isn’t bad though.

Sounds intriguing (especially Operation Darkness’s story), I’m still dying to play the game. When I heard you mention the lack of the Jpn track, I hesitated and thought of getting the Jpn version, then I thought of settling for the US version since I don’t want to pay $70 to play the game. I chk’ed online again and found out the US version is region locked, which was cfm’ed by Play-Asia’s helpful compatibility chart. I thought Atlus was making it region-free :(.. good thing I didn’t purchase the US version yet.

I don’t blame them for not including the Jpn track though, because of the dialog timing issue..

Good interview, Spencer. I really hope that games like Absolute: Blazing Infinity, Diario: Rebirth Moon Legend, and Apocalypse: Desire Now get localized for North America as well.
