Cue the Engrish translation, if Aeria's previous outcomes are any indication...

That is unfortunate. I have never heard of Aeria before this. What else have they worked on?

That SMT MMO. Which I heard was badly translated initially.

Eww. Too bad XSEED isn't continuing on. They did a great job with the first Trails game. It was both comedic and grammatically correct.

Last I heard they are, it's just that there's an issue with SC due to it being on 2 UMDs (not even Japan's PSN has it up there).

They're looking into stuff like Steam, but the script is as massive as FC, if not more, so they'd go broke if they just worked on it right now.

I hope things work out then. A long wait worth be worth it for a quality English version of those games.

I have one of the games from this series on my PSP. VERY pretty, but also incredibly dull.
