Has a US company picked it up for release here?

It had damn well better. You'd think Midway would want to pick it up again since they were fairly successful with SH1 in the states.

I just sent Midway an email, so hopefully I will get a reply.

Here's the reply I got:
Thank you for contacting Midway Games. There has been no decision on picking up the rights to this game at this time.

Gah, that doesn't sound good. If they don't even have the rights, that means that no work on localizing it has happened, which means even if they do pick up the rights, a US release is far off. :\

Yeah you're right, hopefully Altus or Fresh games will get the rights.

The scores for the game in Famitsu were pretty good: 9,8,8,7.
Wow, that sucks if Midway doesn't plan to do it, but I'll bet the people they hired to do the great translation of SH1 don't work there any more. Midway isn't known for RPGs and they probably don't want to be.
I seriously hope somebody picks it up.
ROSHIIIIIII!!!

Atlus only localizes GBA games now, apparently. Doesn't Fresh only do cheaper games? This game has mature content, which would make most publishers back off from bringing it over.

In that case, maybe Rockstar? :p

You joke, but everything about this game sounds like it's right up their alley. They could promote it in such a way that it would sell significant numbers, more than enough to cover the cost of localizing.
Someone, anyone (except for Working Designs), needs to bring over Phantom Brave first though. :p
