-Heck yes, about time.

-Shining Tears and Shining Force Neo are two of those guilty pleasures of mine. You know, one of those games where no one else you know liked it at all, yet every now and then, you have to pick it up and play for a few hours...
Well, Sequel (sic) time.
HOT STUFF COMING YOUR WAY.

-Seems that GungHo Entertainment, Publishers of the Japanese versions of Ragnarok Online, Emil Chronicle Online, and a game I've recently gotten back into, Yogurting, on top of changing their structure and renaming themselves "Gunho Mode, Inc." (with their games portal taking the moniker "Gunho Games," have completely revamped their site and user system. The game ticket and coin charge systems have a slight rennovation.
When this happened with BB Games, not only did they finish and launch the live services for The Belle Isle, but they also announced their acquisition of the publishing rights joint with Yahoo!BB for Sangokumusou BB (for lack of a better name, Dynasty Warriors Online). Could this be paving the way for more public information regarding Grandia Online?

-It seems that due to some server issues, Sega will be forgoing the SEGAlink community portal for management and payment of accounts for Phantasy Star Universe, instead sticking with the tried and true ISAO network, currently the system used for PSOBB JP, the japanese edition of RF Online, and the awesomely addictive D.O.C.O. (Derby Owners Club Online). Could this mean us importers can play PSU JP without NetCash cards? That'd be cool...

I heard that the PS2/PC NA and JP (and presumably EU) players will be on seperate servers this time around; can you shed any light on that? I know that the Xbox 360 servers will be completely seperate again but they've said that word chat won't be in the game which is slightly worrying.

Personally, I'm 95% certain I'm going to get the NA PC version of the game.

Well, according to Takao Miyoshi (Producer, I think), the updates and patches to the game are planned to be distributed to NA users approximately 2-3 months after JP updates. Which leads most to believe that, despite any official date set by Sega of America, the game should be released in that time frame from the JP release on August 31. Most retailers still have October 24 as the NA date.
Up as far in as the PC Beta, there was no word select system. Worrying indeed...
Though Miyoshi did add that interoperability between JP and NA systems would definitely be a consideration in the near future.

I have Shining Force Neo. It wasn't bad, except it's so damn hard I could never work up the effort to get past the first fields. Is it worth it to keep going? It takes forever to work down those monsters and they'll rape me in like 10 hits..
