I just picked this up this last weekend...anyone play?
looks interesting..how is the game play i was wondering and is it a straight up fighting game?
i haven't played it myself, but i've heard it compared to EFZ. didn't really get into EFZ, but i'll try anything once
I do, as all I know I was the only WC Arcana player, and I've tried hyping it up but to no avail. There's a US release coming soon though from Atlus!
Oh, and it's Arcana Heart.
I've only seen the game play, to me its not bad, I'll try it out when I have a chance.
I heard (from Kotaku.com) Atlus USA picked up the rights for Arcana Heart to be released domestically in the states around April 8th 2008, I might as well support the U.S.A. Version than import it.
A while back I heard Play-Asia.com had a sale on that game going for around 30 or 40 bucks.
And here's the website (http://www.atlus.com/arcanaheart/) for the US release.
Any word yet if this is the first edition or the "FULL!" version?

IIRC:
1) Googling gives me a Gamespot page (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6185393.html) that says both.
2) Wasn't there only one version of Arcana Heart home ver.?
and not IIRC: Dear God I hope they include a JP voice option if they choose to include a dub at all...

Don't know... how much I can say about the game without breaking rules. There was only 1 Home release, it had original and Heartful versions of characters.
There will be JP voices.
and Mizuki: No you aren't the only Arcana player.
I checked the USA trailer of Arcana Heart from the Atlus site and I found out we are getting both versions of the game all into one. This is Atlus man they cater the Niche gamer so of course there will be Japanese voices during the fights.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH you have no idea how false that statement is.
But yeah, name a big JP fighting game that was released in the US that didn't have JP voices outside of Toshinden and Bloody Roar. It's hard... isn't it?
US release is due next Tuesday. Yar, got mine pre-ordered a month ago (even though I have a feeling the pre-order was stupid considering where I am at right now). But man, I wish there was the fighting controller with it like the one offered with the jp release.
I'm hoping to buy a copy eiter before or after Fanime.

Just be content with the fact the bloody thing only costs 30$.
Gamestop had shipping delays. Week late probably.

actually Arcana Hearts was delayed by Atlus due to "brief delays" and "heart palpitations." its unknown how long maybe a week or so but yea hopefully soon.
meh, looks too much like melty blood for me. :P
Huzzah Arcana Hearts has come in today so it was only like a day or 2 delay for some odd reason
If anyone wants to play gimme a pm.
I picked up this game last week. It's a pretty solid fighter. It IS a lot like Melty Blood, but yeah, I liked Melty Blood, too. I have yet to check out the SoCal scene of Arcana Heart(if there is one), but cali is a pretty active gaming community.
Let's play some AH :DDD
Say, would anyone happen to know of any dedicated AH communities online? I poked around, and alas I could find none.
Yo socal AH is pretty dead, if you live in Irivine you can hit up "White Rob" (SRK nickname) he's the guy who helped port it to us ps2 and wants to play peeps pretty bad. www.guardcrush.net is basically the only place for AH shit, and also the few threads on SRK. Here is also a copy paste of a thread I made on SRK for NorCal AH players...
Okay, for those people in NorCal who wanna play Arcana Heart, there is the GZR Nights at Chabot College. I usually go to every other tournament to hang out since there is tons of space for casuals. There's a guy there with AH on his moded PS2 and we play it along with other not so common games. I'm going to start bringing my ps2 and AH more often. If you guys want some comp head there.
http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=138612 here is the thread with tourneys. I usually only go there if there is a FG tourney being held. Lets make this even more hype and show that EC aint the only peeps that can play Arcana!
I finally got around to play this again... and yeah, the last boss was pretty crazy... much like 3rd Strike. Took me like 6 tries and a lot of swearing.
If this is going to be at Fanime, I'll start practicing now and hopefully give someone some competition.
Kamui and Saki player here. Just not good.
I'll be bringing this if it's okay for ps2.

Sounds like a plan.
What characters do you play, Mizuki?
He uses Kira, same as me. Too much work to learn Lilica like I want to do, I may pick her up as soon as me and Mizuki start actually playing semi-regularly.
WTF you wanna play Lilica too?

Lilica was character I wanted to learn when I saw the original designs, then I saw play tests and was like "HOLY SHIT!" then I played it when it came out, and was like "... screw her she's going to be way too hard to learn". And Kira was #2. Fiona would be #2 if it weren't for her horrible name and some other shit.
Oh, okay, I was going to say if you just recently decided to play her. I've always wanted to play Kira since I saw the designs.
p.s. do you know anything about sanwa flash and putting it into an hrap? lol
I'm trying to learn Mei-Fang. The thing is, I'm thinking about learning her w/a Jam state of mind, which I quickly learned was my first mistake. I really need to wrap my head around the whole homing thing, because there's very little i can JC > IAD out of now.
Anyone still playing AH?
Sugoi! Arcana Heart 2 has a Japan release date for April, but who knows when Atlus will get it's hands on it.
I'm not. After playing 2, 1 is boring as heck. I know I'm buying part 2 when it comes out. Too bad it won't be as good as arcade (obviously.)
I still sorta play. I mean, there's not really a community for it, but if someone wants to, then i'll play.
