What's there to lose? Never hurts to try! =D
Sev:
we should ask Atlus to sub the game instead of dub, this way we can keep the Orginality and those of us (myself included) that can't speak or read Japanese can understand what the characters are saying. When you aproach from a marketing prospective it makes since less money spent on dubbing equals more money in everyones pockets.
zeda12123:
The ability to choose what language different parts of the game is in would be a nice feature~ Like, for example, being able to have the songs in japanese, but have the dialoge in english dub or subbed.

Honestly that would be the best way to go about it. Subbing would be a lot easier than dubbing, unfortunately Sony and their weird rules. I remember Atlus had some problems with Arcana Heart, they had to remove dialogue because Sony wouldn't let them keep it in. Shame they can't do what Sony allowed Sega to do with Yakuza 2.
I wonder if instead of bringing the game over, Atlus could work with Namco to make an English patch that could be applied to the game. Make a couple more language patches, and put them on sale. Even if you had to pay like 600 yen or something to get a language patch, it'd be better than having to repurchase the game. I dunno, I'm sure at some point even if it's years from now this game will probably find it's way over here.

Hmm...if it did come out, I would think that the game would do okay. The gameplay seems simple enough for anyone to get, and subbed games can be possible here; there was Endless Frontier....The problem is that yes, there would be some sort of misunderstanding about the game itself (moral guardians would love to pick on it).
As for what game: I don't think the 360 versions would be well received here, with the games that the 360 usually gets, but that's my opinion. The PSP versions could work, but there's the rampant piracy. The DS one seems to be the best chance: a greater amount of people have a DS than a PSP in the US, so there could be more buyers.
