Archaic Sale Heat: SRPG import for $11

by Eric Caoili on Jul 9th 2008 4:15PM

Now might not be the best time to order a Japanese copy of Archaic Sealed Heat, what with E3 right around the corner and a U.S. localization likely, but Play Asia is doing its best to convince us otherwise! The import online shop is selling copies of the gorgeous Mistwalker-developed title for only $11.90 (plus s/h). The deal lasts until next Monday, too, so they're giving us a lot of time to talk ourselves into it.

As far as SRPGs go, you really can't find anything cheaper! Well, unless you pick up Square Enix's iPod-exclusive Song Summoner for $4.99.

$11? That's really cheap for import. Even second-hand N-American titles don't come that cheap usually. Too bad it's Japanese and I can't read/understand that (yet?).

But what's with the SRPG tag? I thought ASH was going to be a regular RPG? Please tell me that's a typo..

It's more a tactical RPG than anything. Not a very good one at that.

Xenosaga I & II for the DS was also put up on Play-Asia for around $11 a year ago. It would be funny if ASH were to be soon announced for localization, Play-Asia put up Arcana Heart as their weekly special the same week that Atlus announced it was going to release the game in the US.

I still hold out hope that whatever complaints I've heard about the game stem from the language barrier leading to difficulties with the items, interface, et cetera. I won't import unless its appearance on the ESRB site turns out to be a mistake.
