I was just wondering if anyone heard about it? I tried to wait but nothing happened. Is this because the PSP console is "dead" in NA?
If that's so then does this mean we'd either have to wait/start a fan translation ?
We'd start one.
I have no idea how to hack the game, but I wouldn't mind working on it.
I'll try extracting the text from the game itself so to you know, get started at least.
May be some good news. Just got this from Atlus in a couple of hours ago:

Starts with a G? There's a good chance it could be Gungnir... Time to play the waiting game.
Next clue is that it ends with a R.
So it's either Gungnir or Growslanser.
this appeals to my laziness.
now what will appeal to my obsessiveness?
Next hint: it's an SRPG.
So, yet again, it's gotta be either Gungnir or Growlanser.
dammit atlus
Walrus mentioned on IRC that another hint was that it's the http://gl4ol.atlusnet.jp/.
Good job though, Atlus. Usually campaigns like these are awfully transparent and you already know what the matter is after the first or second hint, but they really know how to keep up the tension here!
It's Growlanser according to its twitter page and the site now active :C
GUNGNIR TRANSLATION PROJECT GO!
I can't describe how much of a dick move it is to tease us so. Atlus = master trolls confirmed
Haven't seen anything about it being Growlanser, just people being slow on the hints. Fifth was "it's on the PSP" hurr durr. Next hint is supposed to be on facebook again.
i will love it so much if it's both.

I just saw that atlususa posted gungir opening ;v;
so it is going to be in english aaaaa
it's a dick move either way, getting people's hopes up like that. and targetting specific people.
unless... it's still both!

Oh jeez, I should probably get around to trying Gungnir out.
YAAAAAAAY
Also I am happy that Growlanser IV will be released as well. Having felt the disappointment when the misinformation that it would not be Gungnir surfaced, it's good that the Growlanser fans don't have to go through it as well.
To be clear, there's no proof that Growlanser is coming out. It's just a G, yo.
edit: omg it's chilly all up in here.
growlanser announced a few days ago without a second clue. laaaame. they promised a clue.
Are there good chances of it being ported from the PSP to the DS or 3DS?
no.
there's a very minor chance of it being ported to the 3ds.
Excited about this game's localization, I was. I was thinking of the possibility of it being ported to the 3DS after its initial PSP release. That might be a fun change of pace, what with all the other Dept. Heaven games being ported to the PSP instead.

Maaaybe I should have waited a bit before preordering it for the PSP and planning to buy a PSP on release day. Well, according to this, the 3DS version may or may not be translated and it's still a long way off buuut... whatever reference that.
