GamersMark: "Yggdra Union from Atlus has a seemingly awkward place in the PSP library. It's practically a straightforward GBA-to-PSP port, so it's quite obvious that it won't be visually pleasing. Yggdra Union is essentially the GBA game with some voiceovers and possibly some other improvements that are harder to gauge.
Typically in tactical strategy games there are two teams fighting against each other on more-or-less even ground. One would expect there to be new challenges here and there, just as long as both sides followed the same basic rules of gameplay.
Not in Yggdra Union.
If there ever was a tactical strategy game that made me want to play on the enemy's side, it's Yggdra Union. It's almost amazing to me how two different games are going on at the same time, with the advantage always (and I really mean it) going to the opposition."
Atlus fans confined to Sony’s duo of handhelds shouldn’t feel slighted over this week’s generous eShop savings, as a mountain of sweet discounts have spilled over to the PSN store this week as well.
PlayStation Blog - "Money. It’s like a baby in a burning building or a snail in the middle of a busy sidewalk; pretty much everyone wants to save it.
Since nobody wants to be the jerk that steps on that poor, innocent snail, we (the fine people at Atlus) are dropping prices on our PlayStation Store library of PSP system titles, not unlike the PS Vita’s undocumented ability to drop smaller articles of sub-clothing. We’re calling it…"

GamingUnion: "It's a well known argument that JRPG fans haven't really had much in the way of home console hits this generation. Only recently have publishers begun to announce highly anticipated titles such as The Last Story and Xenoblade Chronicles – albeit only in Europe. Now I've heard this complaint many times and what I find is that many a JRPG fan simply don't bother to look elsewhere, especially when that elsewhere is a portable device. Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS systems are breeding grounds for the genre, where many traditional, as well as experimental titles, can be found. One such title is Atlus and Sting's Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone."
I knew about this game sincw its japanese launch.
And let me make this clear. The consoles are not doing well in japan. THATS WHY THEY ARENT COMING OUT IN BULK for the consoles.
BUT considering there place theirs more japanese rpgs on them than any system in history
