The only Sakura Taisen game that is coming to the US is ST5 Action. It's the only one that was announced for the US, the others, four in total, will be Japan-only.
Right, but most of the rumors have said that Sega was going to concider releasing Sakura Taisen 5 based on the sales of the action game. Again it's a rumor, and thus in and of it's self isn't credible. However, it's not out of the question, and is probably the best chance we've come across yet in seeing a domestic release. Whether it amounts to anything or not is another question.
Note: Sorry if the above is not well written. I'm not a very good writter, and spent entirely too long composing that paragraph. Just Appologizing in advance in case there is a need.

They're adding new sub-scenarios to the game as well, though I don't expect they'll be too many. Really, just the new combat system would be enough, which looks to be even more improved over the ST4 version. I like the new way of doing the LIPS too.
*sigh* Which means that Venus & Braves, and Star Ocean 3 have priority in my case. As good as more Kouran sounds to me, if it's something I've mostly played before I'll have to pass for now...

I wish I could find a place to order a JPN PS2 from. videogamedepot.com and ncsx.com don't have them in stock for some reason. Only place I could find was www.toysnjoys.com , but they're a bit shaky for a high price item like this.
I wouldn't worry about it, Asian PS2's work just fine. It's my understanding that most places don't stock imported Japanese systems just because they've more expesnsive to aquire than their Asian counter-parts. Reguardless of the reason, I have yet to have a major problems with either Asian system I own. The only reason I could see wanting a Japanese PS2 would be to watch Region 2 DVD's, but if you're really interested in that, a regionless DVD player would be a much better investment IHMO.

ST5 Action is an edited version of ST5. Do people happily buy the unedited subs of anime after already buying the dubbed one? I don't think it's sales will matter much, even if it does sell well.
Wait a second, you're saying that ST5 and ST5 Action are the same game, one just has more story elements (i.e. LIPPS)? That doesn't make sence to me at all... I could have sworn they said that the action game would acompany ST5...
If you would rather answer me outside this forum, my AIM is ChippZannff (Go Dyslexia!!!), so catch me there sometime.

Well, ST remake comes with a DVD and I'd really like to be able to watch it. I could play it on my DVD-rom drive, but it would be far less convenient.

Perhaps I'm making an assumption, but I think I read a interview which explain it as such. Besides, if they weren't the same game, they would give them each different names like the two other side ST game that are coming for the PS2 (and also not coming to the US).
It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. Rival Schools 2 was released in the US as Project Justice, missing a board game that was a major part of the game. It's even the first option on the main menu.

I just watched this trailer again carefully after playing the original and I noticed a few things:
- Graphically, it's 100% from ST1 and I don't even think they used anything from ST4. 4 did the character's eyes in an odd way that isn't here. The special attack animations might be reused from 4. Would have to double check.
- The only way I can actually tell it's a remake of the first game and not an entirely new game is the villian from the first game appears in the trailer and he naturally dies by the end, though in this series villians have a habit of coming back to life. Also, the scene with Sakura fighting the steam mech is from the first game, though the FMV itself is new. The appearance of Ayame clinches it.
- Orihime's and Reni's kubo are shown very briefly, along with what I assume to be their original team. I wonder if they'll make cameo appearances. Great if true, especially since ST2 won't be remade.
- I think you get points for good responses to Kasumi, Yuri, and Tsubaki now in the way ST3 did with the non-pilots there. There's certainly a bit more with them than in the original.
- Some of the FMV are full screen while others are letter boxed. In ST1-2, all were letterboxed, while in 3 all were full screen. Odd, I wonder the reason for it.
- The music is still exactly the same. They didn't rerecord, remix or anything with the main theme at least.
Waiting for this will be so very hard...
