I'd love Atlus to do it, but Working designs can stay far away from the games as possible. Sorry Vic, but your fast and loose style of translations and bad added humor doesn't work for me...(Not to mention your barely passable dubbing).
Actually I can see Sega bringing the games over. I think the shift over to a Software publisher has made the avenues more open for the titles coming over by someone. It's a faint hope, sure, but I think the possibility is there (They do want to establish franchises, after all).
Of course Atlus, WD, and Sega USA will have to wait till the games make it to the PSX/PS2, GC, or X-box. And then 1-4 would have to make the trek there as well, since all the games are interelated...

In the rumor rubric of the 26/04 famitsu, the directors say that half of the Sakura Taisen 3 worked on Sakura taisen 4, while the other half began to work on a new Sakura Taisen Series on Playstation 2... It is yet unclear what a "new series" means, but it may be a new team with completely new characters, say in a New York Team... It would please the american market a lot, I gess (Sakura Taisen 3 WAS the best game of the series for us french people... playing in places we all know (the parisian players, I mean) with many stupid details and bad translation problems was the funniest thing I ever played on DC). And I think I remember the new girl in the movie of Sakura Taisen (that awfull blonde) came from an american team...
And if they want to continue their game, they have to come back in time... if they continue like this, they will quickly come in the darkest ages of recent japanese history, and I don't think a Showa era Teikoku Kagekidan would be much fun...

Hee! I am imagining a Stateside ST game...oh, that would be great. I can just see the wacky costumes...
I hope it's not like Sakura dressed like a chicken or something wacky. That would be really scary.
Hm...Let me think about this. In ST3, Erica is wearing something like a nun's habit, Gracine is wearing something like a (male) court outfit from a much earlier time, Coquelicot's outfit is unrecognizable, Hanabi is dressed, well, reservedly, and Lovelia is wearing a punk outfit that would be in style in any century. Following that model, what the hell would 1920s Americans be wearing? Hoop skirts? Flapper clothes? Cowgirl clothes? Jeans and a T-shirt? Americans don't have all that much clothing history to work with that isn't redundant with European stuff. Who knows, I'll just have to wait and see.

Coconut bikini! Coconut bikini! Heeheehee!
I would be slightly annoyed if the whole team had a cowboy theme to it though, especially if it takes place in NYC. It might very well though, they have to work with what Japanese know, or think they know, about America at that time.
It reminds me of several conversations with one of my friends, a Japanese exchange student, about what they know about US history. For instance, all they know about slavery and race relations throughout history is that blacks were once enslaved, and the civil war freed them, and they have been slightly pissed ever since. That's a pretty damned useless simplification.

Hell, it's much better than American knowledge of Japan.
First of all, many of them don't know diffrence between China and Japan.
I live in Texas, I know this for a fact.
Second of all, the ones that think they know the diffrence, think Japanese normal lives consist of Samurai, Geisha, raw fish, kung-fu/karate, dancing dragons, and killing themselves.
Personally, America's stereotype of Japan is far worse than vice versa :P

I don't think so, based on my research (admitted, I live on teh west coast were Japan is somewhat more "real"), they are pretty much equally bad. Japanese have the cowboy stereotype pretty well entrenched in their minds. I guess the only real difference is that they have more of our popular media to work with than we have of theirs, but that really doesn't count for much.

Living in Texas, I have to say the southern cowboy stereotypes that north makes are pretty on the spot. :)
There's an aweful lot of hicks, boot wearing cigar smoking cowboy wannabes, and they drive pickup trucks, of course. Oh, and add lack of knowledge for anything non-southern.
Trust me, you'll get sick of southern accents and hick/redneck talks very fast if you live here in Texas.
I'm not saying everyone here are like that, but there's enough of them to make a stereotype.
(Texan stereotype, that is)
