And that's the news this past week, has anything caught your eye? Review embargo has broken for The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, and it's looking like a fairly solid JRPG entry. (Releases 9/27.)

Offline's been extremely hectic this past month, my sincerest apologies for having fallen behind on the newsletter! I'll be scouring for other noteworthy updates in a later post this weekend, such as the announcement of various titles being confirmed for English release. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

And that's the past two weeks in review, thank you for your patience! NIS has finally made their big announcement for the seventh Disgaea game, and it boasts a whopping forty-five generic units, a notable jump up from the previous iteration's somewhat lacking generic roster. (Presumably, many were cut due to it being their first step into 3D.)

    And that's the week in review, thank you for your patience! An additional note that due to personal events, the following week's muckrake will be delayed. (If not by a day, then it'll likely be a double-week report.) All that aside, congratulations on GrimGrimoire's re-release, fifteen years after the original!
