News

  • Odin Sphere in Europe!
    odinsphere-oswald.pngDid Square Enix develop Odin Sphere? No way! Then, surely, they were responsible for the game's localization? No, that doesn't sound quite right either. What the deal here? Square is bringing Odin Sphere to Europe, but how? They haven't had any previous involvement with the game. Well, at the bottom of this sinister plot is a partnership: Square's companionship with fellow publisher Atlus has enabled them to release this non-Square title in PAL regions. European Action RPG fanatics are sure to be pleased by this news, as Odin Sphere was lauded in North America as one of the most beautiful RPG jewels of this year. Square Enix president John Yamamoto notes that this development marks "an exciting new period for the company", perhaps insinuating that the best is yet to come.
