Hot damn remastered Ratix is looking fiiiine.
Please NA release and similar treatment to SO2, plzthx.
I'll play the old games all day but I'm still sad that the last game wasn't the greatest. Game before that had a shit story but it was a beautiful game imo. Last game is like they put together a team that didn't care enough to do it any real justice.
I can't recall, have they said if this will have a physical release?

Found the English website, so it is getting a western release. Only new info on the site is that the game is getting the same VA treatment as the Japanese version.
