CAGiversary!
Previously noted in the CAG News section, the physical UMD deluxe copy of Class of Heroes II (English translation) for PSP is being attempted by former Working Designs president over at Kickstarter. It will only be sold if they reach $500K in pledges by April 27th!
$59 shipped, covering costs for printing such a niche run. Link.
The details for the Deluxe Edition are not yet known, other than it will supposedly blow away what most companies call "Deluxe". If successful, the game will only be printed in one run (~7,000 copies), never to be reprinted. Also, if successful, it will prove there is a market for more official English translations of obscure JRPGs!
As a Kickstarter, if not successful, this won't be released and nobody pays a dime.
Since I disregard anything that isn't released as physical/DRM-free, I'm extremely excited about this! Locked/DRMed distribution puts game ownership back in the arcade days, where you are just the client of a service. This is the only opportunity to truly own it.
