Idea Factory does more sexual favors to get their shit brought stateside. This time Aksys (of recent Blazblue reputation) has taken the plunge, bringing over an old PS3 Strategy/RPG Dating Sim, Record of Agarest War.

Fighting plays out like a strategic RPG where each character has his/her own set of moves, but by moving each character to an appropriate square, you can chain characters together and pull off combos. After each round of combat, each character will regenerate AP and accumulate SP points. When enough SP points have been accumulated, characters can unleash special attacks.
The game includes dating sim elements through its "Soul Breed" system which allows the player to create a new character by pursuing a relationship with a female character.

It's like if you could pop out babies in Persona 3 and 4, only minus a good game on top of that.
The game is not getting a retail release, but will instead be distributed only via PSN. I guess this will minimize the losses. No price or date announced yet, either.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
