Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
DAYUM.
Those shots look great, better than Dragons Crown.
I hope PS3 version is 1080p too like DC was.

I will definitely be getting this for PS4.
So much good stuff coming out in 2016.

Wow, looks incredible. But again I shouldn't be so impressed. It's Vanillaware after all.

In for that physical Vita release~
Oh yeah, definitely in for Vita and PS4.
Not complaining at all considering the first 2 years of the PS3's life was a barren wasteland in comparison, it's like night and day.

Great, if expected news. Importing is easy for me, physically or digitally so any delay in Europe is irrelevant to me to be honest.
Question though - some of you guys are asking NISA to bring this to Europe. Why wouldn't Sega do it as they own Atlus now?

They haven't done so so far.
P4DAN, Etrian Odyssey and Stella Glow for example are coming to Europe from NISA. SEGA doesn't seem to be interested in publishing their games here, sadly

Interesting. So when are Sega going to start learning from Atlus then?

Sega Europe don't have any physical publishing arm in Europe any more, Koch Media publish the odd 2 or 3 games they actually release physically (Football Manager and Total War). That's why we were all saying they were one of the worst possible buyers for Atlus.

Whatever relationship Koch Media has with SEGA (I think they are just the distributor but I don't know details) could easily extend to other SEGA Japan/ATLUS titles if they wanted.
Koch Media is doing a great job distributing games for all kinds of companies here (Tecmo-Koei and Square-Enix for example) and they're also bringing Hatsune Miku from SEGA here.

They seem to have a deal with Atlus for a lot of games. They brought Dragon's Crown over, as well as Etrian Odyssey's 3DS titles, P4G and are bringing over P4D. I think (hope) it's pretty likely that they'll bring Odin Sphere our way too.
I prefer not having to import because I like to support EU localisations as much as possible, if it makes them quicker and stops us from missing a handful of releases altogether.

Seriously. I still can't believe this never got released in the West. The English text by Xseed was already completely done. Apparently people were too busy with Dragon's Crown and it just got swept under the rug.

Still run in circles for the stages? It just gets repetitive real fast.

I've not seen any evidence that Koch have a long term partnership with Sega or anything, they just seem to be a distributor Sega use for some of their products. If Koch did actually distribute Project Diva F 2nd here then that answers my question if they handle Vita releases. In which case Sega Europe doesn't really have an excuse why they keep partnering with NISA instead of Koch, surely it would be better to have a stable partner rather than every release having to go through this uncertainty.

PS4 disc for me day one.
Koch Media distributed Dragon's Crown and that was PS3 and Vita.

Just checked my Vita copy of Diva F 2nd and it is distributed by Koch. Koch also did the Vita releases for Koei Tecmo. I can only think that ATLUS JP/ATLUS USA and NISA have some kind of long-term agreement where NISA has right of first refusal to publish their titles or something.
Hasn't SEGA published P4AU here though?

yep, but that's the only one so far I think and they probably only did it because no one else wanted it after the clusterfuck that happened with the original Arena.

Great news, at least means it should be not too too long after the japanese release if they announced it already. And since PS3/PS4, I can just use my US PSN account to buy it without waiting for inevitable 6months euro delay, like I did for Dragon's Crown, so just fine.

One of my favorite games on ps2 getting an upgrade, and a physical release no less...?
Hell yeah!

It's very loosely based on (or inspired by) Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.

It's one of the best games on Vita, and yes.

Aye, I'll just import it if it's digital only myself though, since it's unlikely to get DLC. I've already filled a 32GB and 64GB memory card with games for my Vita, I don't really need more digital games.
Really wish EU releases weren't such a crap shoot.
Agreed, but these days it's basically just Atlus that's a worry since most other JP publishers have acknowledged a strong market for their content in mainland Europe.
I know they work with NISA (and possibly SEGA in the future, who knows) but it's incredibly frustrating and hard to get too excited when Vita and 3DS games are announced by them. Since this is PS4 as well I'm pretty happy, though.
Hopefully this isn't too expensive.

Hey, the game is being made. They deserve love for it (and all the other awesome games they make). Regarding the price, they do plenty of sales for their games.
