Award Season
Hi everyone. Hope you’ve all recovered from last week’s big announcement :).
With the success of our Persona 2 / Trails in the Sky bundle on PSN we’ve decided to fuse our Persona to create the Persona 2 / Persona 3 Portable bundle which will be making it’s way on to the PlayStation Store on the 15th of February priced at £39.99 (€49.99) saving you a cool £15.99.
I’ve been working on Fate/EXTRA pretty solidly since last week and it’s looking good so far. I haven’t found any issues in the test build and the game itself is very enjoyable. The combat system is very original, the story and characterization are sharp and there’s already been one very clever twist. Things are going very well and we’re hoping to be able to share more details of our Collector’s Edition and a release date with you all soon. Work is also continuing on Agarest 2 and we’re expecting to receive the first fully English build from our friends over at Aksys soon. Needless to say, we’re all really looking forward to testing this awesome game.
Of course, that’s not all that has been happening here at Ghostlight. You might remember that a couple of weeks back a framed Persona 2: Innocent Sin Collector’s Edition showed up. When I came into work I was pleased to find another new present; this time we’ve got this lovely framed Agarest: Generations of War Zero Collector’s Edition hanging proudly on our wall.
I don’t know about you but I’d love one to take home with me. I think we could all find a spot for it in our collections.
Talking of new things, we’ve also had to put up a new virtual mantelpiece for all of the awards that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky has been collecting this year. In fact, it’s just picked up another batch as RPGamer named it the winner of their Best PSP Game award and their Best Story award. Trails in the Sky also tied with Dragon Age 2 as their most completed game and picked up third place in their Best Music category.
It wasn’t just Trails in the Sky that impressed, as our newest RPG, Fate/EXTRA, was runner up in their Most Original Category.
We’ve also enjoyed some more success in the UK PSP Charts as Persona 2: Innocent Sin has climbed from 9th to 6th and Trails in the Sky has again re-entered the charts at number 10.
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 me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.

Gief Pre-order of Agarest War 2 CE now
I can't decide if I want the Persona 2 or Agarest one more. It would be amazing if you made some we could buy.
My Jelly....All of it for that frame...
Congratulations on the awards. You guys deserve it for your efforts in bringing us JRPGs that may never have seen Western shores otherwise. As a side note, any word on whether P2 and TiTS are still coming to the Australian PSN?
@Ahtaps Thanks. They are both still coming to the Australian store. I believe we are hoping to announce a release date soon we're just waiting for them to get an age rating.
I noticed a couple of you said you would be interested in buying the framed collector's edition. Is this something you'd seriously be interested in because if so I could pass that on to my boss.
I actually would be ready to buy a frame of Agarest. The only question that I'd like to ask you Ross, if you pass the idea to your boss, do you happen to have an idea of how much one of these frames would cost ?
@Ailtin I'd imagine if we made some we'd only do a few. But the answer would be fairly expensive but obviously I don't have an exact figuire.
Hm...I kinda thought that it'd be like that. I am still fond of your idea. Keep it on your subconsciousness as of now, I think that I am not the only one thinking about "nailing" such a beatious thing on my wall :D
