[PS2] Shadow Hearts: From the New World

I remember reading somewhere that the developers said that this wasn't a true sequel to the franchise, but more like a side-story. Has anybody else heard about this?

I'm kind of glad. SH2 left on a nice cliffhanger and I wanted to see ...

Spoiler:

Maybe a different lead character until Yuri returns. Anastasia and Kurando in the lead for a few hours of the story would be an interesting starting point, with the whole Romanov murder thing.

The characters in From the New World look kind of interesting. I just want to see a cat roundhouse kick somebody in the face.

How ya doing, buddy?

For a second there, I thought you meant...

Spoiler:

Albert Simon.

That guy is all kinds of awesome.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah. Literally (remember the fluffy cat boss in SH:C?).

By the way, the bad ending for SH:C:

Spoiler:

Yuri lost his memory and woke up somewhere in Europe, where he's discovered by Roger Bacon. Yuri's taken in by Bacon, who we assume is to care for him ... or bring back his memories.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
