I agree with you Hollow_Ninja but with download-only, you're not really sure WHICH version of the game you're getting. For all we know, it may be the most broken version of the game and without being able to be seen without buying it makes me extremely nervous. I was never able to find the first Arcana Heart and the idea of buying the third game of the series without actually seeing the game play makes me rather anxious. I heard what a train wreck the second one was and I'm just afraid that the third might be just more of the same. But then again, Fate/Unlimited Codes was a PSP-only Downloadable and it did rather well, so... maybe this won't be so bad... hopefully.

Are there any vids of Arcana Heart 3 working online so I could see a sample of what's in store?

Google search is your friend and I'm confident that ASW who did the port has at least some sense of quality when it comes to games.

Ecole did the port of AH2, that's why it sucked. 3 is made by ASW, it's going to run much better.

Here's to hoping. ^_^ I want the first game something fierce. I heard that Atlus cut out most of the dub though... I hope AH3 won't do that.

It's quite possible that this version of AH3 won't be dubbed and will only use the original Japanese audio. In that situation, nothing should be getting cut.

Again... HOPEFULLY. The last few download-only games have been unedited so hopefully it won't be too bad. I just wonder if they're going to release it at a decent price. And I didn't buy Fate/Unlimited Codes because of the original $30 price tag. I'm still a bit squeamish about paying that much for a PSP game... especially when I hadn't even played the original game.

I think they should at the very least make demos of these download-only games. I'm sick of the 'you buy it, you're stuck what you get' idea on them. They have demos for everything else... why not these?

Well, it wasn't dubbed. It's just whenever they spoke Japanese, they just removed the audio... Like that was supposed to help. ~_~

Reportedly it was the only way Sony would allow Atlus to release Arcana Heart over here undubbed, but don't quote me on this.

More accurately, Atlus didn't believe Sony would approve the release if the game's important dialogue was voiced only in a foreign language. So, rather than try to submit Japanese-only and risk getting it rejected (which would destroy their chances of getting a later submission approved, because Sony typically doesn't give games a second chance after rejection) they made sure the game wasn't foreign-language-only by removing the voice acting entirely.

Contrary to popular belief, lack of an English dub won't cause SCEA to reject a game outright. It's more like if a restaurant is inspected and they find a nest of rats. It doesn't mean it's impossible to pass... but they'd have to be absolutely perfect in every other way.

I don't know where you guys are assuming this is going to be a cheaper PSN release. I think $44.99 price point of Agarest War is a clear indicator how Asksy could and most likely would price the game and we'd have no choice but to buy it. Then again, Battle Fantasia was $19.99 on the PSN so who knows?

Battle Fantasia had been out for quite a while on the 360 when the PSN version was released, so I think that probably explains the $19.99 price point. You're right that it could be $44.99 or higher, but I'm just going with the $29.99 price point until they announce it as the final rather than temporary price or announce what the final price is.
