Is Xseed doing anything with Grandia Online?
No. I haven’t received any offer from them. If they offer something we’ll consider it. About your relationship with Namco Bandai… you’ve started localizing their games too. How did that relationship start? The main reason is Ken [Berry]. Ken checked magazines and he informed me that Game Center CX* was not announced for North America. So, there was a chance to get it, somehow. I have a good relationship with some people at Bandai Namco and I asked each person ‘is this available?’ Then we proposed a deal and we got the rights to publish it. Fragile happened the same way. We were very interested in that title because of its graphics and it’s a unique RPG. Then I tried to contact my friends at Bandai Namco and they said there was a possibility. Then we discussed a lot and Bandai Namco said OK. * [Note: Game Center CX is the name for Retro Game Challenge in Japan.] So about Retro Game Challenge 2… Ken Berry, Director of Publishing: It looks very unlikely that we will localize and bring it.
