Hold onto your pants, kids! Check out the latest screens of Odin Sphere. That's in-game 2D stuff, folks. Keep in mind this is coming to america via Atlus, so don't get too worried. They haven't officially announced it yet, but they will!

Update: Well, now they have officially announced it for north america, and the date is a loose 'spring 2007.' Interesting elements include five playable characters (Princess Crown had four), as well as a cooking and alchemy system. Seems to take existing bits and expand on them, at least on paper. Here's a bit of worry though: "Fully-voiced dialogue that heightens the drama!" I've heard Atlus' dubs before, and I hope to high heaven they see their way through to leaving in the original language track as an option. Konami did it for Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin! So can you, Atlus!
