CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Since I know there are some Grandia fans on the board, I figured I would post this. However, there is some good news and there is some bad news.

The good news is that, according to a Gamespot preview, Square-Enix has started at least a little bit of localization.

The bad news is the fact that Grandia III's sales took a major nosedive in the second week...
Check this out:
August 1-7; 2) Grandia III (PS2,Square-Enix) - 121,935

August 8-14; 9) PS2 - Grandia 3 - 27,378

Ouch, that's just painful to look at... They were expecting it to do quite a bit better.

At any rate, it would probably be a good idea anyway for all of the Grandia fans to send an e-mail to Square-Enix and let them know that we want the game localized. I'm not sure what to think about the less-than-steller sales, but Unlimited SaGa was brought over and I'd imagine Grandia III would be bigger in the states than Radiata Stories, so it couldn't hurt anything to send one.
*shrugs*

It's gotton generally positive reviews from import reviewers and such so...

Man, I'm going to e-mail Square and demand Grandia III come state-side. >.O; And hope desperately that it's as good as Grandia II...because Grandia Xtreme was a serious letdown for me. XD; It's comforting to know that it's looking pretty good so far.

Guys, Grandia will come to America. Why? Think about it KD: Grandia Xtreme came to America and thot sold better in the U.S. Yeah, so I have high hopes. Grandia Xtreme is a good game just absolutley nothing compared to the past two. Parrallell Trippers was an exception. They might make a remake for the DS and send it stateside.

All I know is Grandia Xtreme made more money in the US then Grandia I so I have high hopes. PS3 will probably be out when Grandia III arrives. When do you guys think it will arrive?

Oh yeah, Grandia Xtreme only lacked one characteristic: A Grandia-Style Story.
Which is BIG.

I never said I doubted that it will come over - my main concern at the moment is how long it'll take it to come over.

Oh, I`d say Summer 2006.

*checks gamespot update*

Oooo... You have my attention Grandia III.

Thanks for the link Master D. I will have to keep my eye out for this one.
