Play-Asia was selling this game for $30 (which was half of what it was usually going for) and I bought it. The VERY NEXT DAY (shortly after my shipping confirmation), I find that Atlus goes and announces it for US release, and for the same price. I was upset and happy at the same time.

Another year, another 'we license it after you import it' deal. Last year was Gundam Musou a.k.a. Dynasty Warriors Gundam, a game I wouldn't have normally bought but I didn't have anything else for the PS3 at the time to play. Then I find out less than a month later that it was coming out not only in English, but on the 360 too. I didn't buy it again.

I had played Arcana Heart before, and it's definitely a worthwhile fighter. The all-girl cast really put me off when I first saw it (I have ingrained moe repellent), but after seeing some gameplay videos and reading some discussion about it--and seeing it for $30 instead of $60--I went ahead and bought it. I like it quite a bit, it's definitely unique. I guess I'll buy it in English so I can really understand what's going on.
