Never because it's not Capcom.

Never because it's not Capcom.

But there's a publisher called Aksys Games.

Even despite Aksys Games good relationship with Arc System Works, it's not an Arc Systems developed game. The first Arcana Heart was released stateside by Atlus, they haven't touched the series again by releasing the sequel stateside (thank god because it's such a terrible port), and the fact is the first game sold extremely poorly. I highly doubt another distributor would be willing to take such a huge risk on such an obscure and niche' game that won't even break 100,000 copies.

If anything, this game should of just been a 20 dollar PSN/XBL download. Who wants to spend 60 dollars (80+ if you are importing) on a PS2 game?

There's a thread on the AKSYS boards on which someone asked what game they should publish next. Last I checked AH3 was at the top of the list.
AH3 might get an english release, but in 2011 at the latest. I guess they'll wait to see if the JP releases are high to warrant an english release.

I wouldn't blame them. The Atlus release for Arcana Heart was a disaster, but at least this one has online play.

At least Arc Systems knows how to do good netcode.

If Examu was doing this port alone, it would be fucked from day one.

That would make no sense, the game is already super popular in Japan and Japanese sells do not reflect in anyway on US sells..

Parace L'Sia returns form Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2. As a console exclusive character. She'll probably be tha same overpowered boss like in S!AH2. Most of her moves before were just powered up versions of other Arcanas. Though she did have some of her very own sweet moves. Like the Instant Kill.

Anyway, here's some more info on Parace

- She was an Alchemist during the Renaissance. Even after she died her soul went to the Arcana world. Where she became the Arcana of Life.
-Calls herself the "Milleniuum Keeper". Similar to how Kamui is the "Millennnium Protector" and Konoha is the "Millennium Guard"
- She's also a Doctor
- From Switzerland
- Has fought Kamui several times in the past
- Lilica's Father, Rajzel von Felchenerow worked with Parace.
- was an acquaintance of Clarice during her time as a vicious demon
- Very bad ethics and vague standards of what's right and wrong
- Obsessed with life. So she does not like lazy people.
- The golden bangle worn on her arm(normal) and leg(Arcana form) seems to be used to gain a material body when passing through dimensions.
