If the series is such a "nostalgia trip," why would they include
"characters like Sonic and Snake into something so representative of Nintendo" when they clearly aren't?
Where are your sources claiming that it was "hard" for them to put those characters into the game? Hell, Sonic's popularity in the polls had a large impact on his inclusion, which shows they would rather listen to fans than monopolize their roster.
Including Tales characters would primarily serve to service Tales fans first, existing SSB fans second. And Yuri ranks as the most popular character in the entire franchise, standing head and shoulders above Lloyd in the polls. That, coupled with his inclusion in the Nintendo 3DS title I've already brought up twice, provides sensibility to his potential as, at the very least, a candidate for the game's roster. If you would still like to argue that there is "no" sense in that... #2.2.1
Oh I'd love to hear you explain why a character on a 3DS title makes "no sense at all" to be included on a list of potential characters for another 3DS title? #2.1.3
They'll probably do what they did with Generations and cover material that is currently manga-only but will be adapted into the anime by the time the game reaches its release date in 2013. #1.1.1
While an English version hasn't been announced, it's highly unlikely there won't be an English version of PSO2.
We already know SoA is working on something, the game has English credits which were hidden and then removed in a patch.
At the moment, you can still get into the open beta, and I'm 99% sure the guys who put out the English patch will tweak it for the updated client. #2.1
Couldn't really see Sega scrapping a game that had already been fully localized, but I'm still really glad to hear that it's coming. The demo is fantastic and solidified my purchase. #1
I remember reading in an issue of EGM a few years ago that he said he didn't like Ken Kutaragi and he thought the PS3's architecture was difficult to work with. #7.2
