It's some thing that xseed continues to publish for the psp.

Yup, heard about it earlier, Vanillaware is great, as is Xseed, though, I want even more Falcom games via Xseed, but this game will do until Xseed announces the release date for Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky 2 as well as Zwei! & Ys Celceta: Sea of Tree's(& possibly Brandish, might be more chance of them doing Brandish over Zwei!).

I thought the idea of Zwei! was squashed long ago?

I'm not sure if i'm a fan of the graphical style. I like the way it looks in a screen shot but i'm not sure if I would like it as much when I play it. The characters just kinda look like paper cut-outs.

I thought so too, but Wyrdwad/Tom clarified that they might still bring it over.  I forget his exact words, it was a couple months back over in the Ancient Land of Ys boards, but I don't recall what topic it was in.  I thought there was some comment that they wouldn't bring it over do to it being too cute or something like that, but, I guess there's still hope.  Ys Celceta is deffinitly looking like it's being brought over due to his clue's, as he can't say for sure yet until they announce it, but, it's sounding good.  I just hope the rest of the PSP Trails games can come over!

Found it:
No, that was us. And it wasn't necessarily a "we will never ever release this game" turn-down, but more like a "we don't see this as a top priority" kind of thing. We still might work on it sometime in the future!

[SignOfZeta]

Great. Now I can be hugely frustrated by beautiful but AMAZINGLY DULL AND BORING games all over again.

Seriously. I'm going to need a case of quaaludes to get the rest of the way through Odin Sphere...

Blame vanillaware since there so busy with dragon's crown,they don't have the resoruces to help xseed localize grand knights here  

Wich i say what bull shit!!! Realy why did vanillaware licenese out GKH if they couldn't help xseed finsh up what was left shesh.

[xelement5x]

I hope XSEED can get their licensing fees back from them and put them towards something else.  I'm sure Vanillaware was too busy focusing on the assets ::ahem:: required for the witch in Dragon's Crown.

I also think the PSPs current marketplace situation certainly contributed. VanillaWare wasn't going to reap big royalties on a PSP game released in the US in 2012

No shit. Super Robot Wars Z2 Saisei-hen just sold 300,000 on PSP last month in Japan. In the US...can you even buy anything for PSP in department stores? Last time I looked it was all shitty 1st party stuff like SOCOM or sports crap and stupid EA driving games. It was that way for YEARS with just...nothing coming out.
