Hi Everyone. Since I posted last week’s blog our amazing Valentine’s Sale has started. With savings of up to 66% and exclusive previously-unreleased posters being sent out with selected games there are some fantastic bargains available. The offer ends Monday 20th February, so with only a few days left you should definitely go and check out what we’ve got on offer over on the official sale page.
Anyway, that’s enough of the salesman act. Aside from our terrific offers there’s lots of other news here at Ghostlight. Fate/EXTRA is coming along very nicely. So nicely in fact that the code is already going through the approval process with Sony. While I can’t spill any more beans yet, I believe we should have a release date plus details of the special Collector’s Edition for you shortly..
I’ve been working on Agarest: Generations of War 2 this week and so far, while there are several radical changes from the previous two games in the series, I am really enjoying it. The combat feels slick and fluid and the presentation has really stepped up since the previous games. Not only that, but I’ve really been impressed by the way commissions/titles are integrated more closely into the game itself. Those of you with a similar sense of humour to me will be pleased to note the Jumbo Cock also makes a return this time around . I hope that’s whetted your appetites somewhat! I’m sure I’ll be back with more thoughts on Agarest 2 closer to release.
In the comments section of the last blog post, dgnfly picked up one of the hints I made a few weeks ago and asked if we were planning on putting any of our PS2 games on the PSN. At the time I couldn’t reveal anything, as we were awaiting Sony’s announcement, but since the cat is now out of the bag and several PS2 games are already on the PSN Store, I can now tell you all that we will be bringing Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga and Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga II to the PSN Storein the near future.
Finally, on to Chart Watch: Persona 3 Portable has re-entered the PSP Chart in 8th place, nudging Persona 2: Innocent Sin down to 9th and Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky down to 10th.
I’ll be back next week with news for all our Australian fans regarding Persona 2’s eagerly awaited arrival on the PSN (SEN?) Store down under. Until then, why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight?

Finally, on to Chart Watch, which is fast becoming a regular feature here on the Ghostlight blog. Persona 2: Innocent Sin has climbed to number 8 on the PSP chart and Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky stayed in the number 9 spot.

Hi everybody. It’s been another busy week here at Ghostlight. As I said in last week’s blog, I’m still hard at work on Fate/EXTRA at the moment. One thing that has changed since last week’s blog is that the Persona 2 / Persona 3 Portable bundle release date has been moved forward to the 8th February.
This week I’ve been looking at cons. No, I’m not working out a way to steal everyone’s money, I’m talking about conventions and expos. While we’re very happy talking to you all online we’d like to meet you all in person as well, and while sending me round to all our fans’ houses isn’t terribly practical, having a stand at some conventions would be a good way to do so.
Nothing is set in stone at the moment, but if you are planning on attending any conventions or expos please let us know which ones in the Comments section and we’ll look into them. We can’t promise we’ll make it to your particular show, but we are trying to get to some.
My New Year’s resolution this time around was to cut out the teases. But, as is traditional, and although I have managed to reach February with my resolution (mostly) intact, I have found that it’s just too much fun to give up! So I thought why not break it in style?
With that in mind, here’s a quick look at what we’ve got coming up. None of it is confirmed enough to reveal yet, but here are some juicy little morsels for you:
Firstly those of you who enjoy JRPGs on PSN will be made very happy by some of the news we’ll be able to share very soon. I can’t say more than that, but this one is really rather cool.
We’ve also been looking into supporting a few more consoles in the coming year. Not only do we have a growing pile of Vita titles to evaluate, but we’re on the verge of acquiring licences for multiple games on a couple of systems we have not released any JRPGs on before. Not only that but … Hey! Somebody help me!
*Sounds of a struggle*
Sorry for the slight technical difficulty there. Ross has been temporarily detained. Moving swiftly on. We’ve also got a little update in our regular chart watch, as Persona 2: Innocent Sin appears at number 10 on the PSP chart and Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky climbs to number 9.
That’s all for now, but remember you can stay in touch with us on our Twitter and Facebook pages and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight. You can also follow Ross on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.
