Once a shipment is on the way, we can only wait for the packages to meander their way to the United States, clear Customs, and finally get delivered to our company in New York City. We'll make every effort to ship them out once they arrive but again, we cannot confirm that they'll arrive to customers in time for the Christmas holiday.

PS3 Eiyuu Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki FC Kai HD Edition - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
    Eiyuu Densetsu VI was originally released for the Japanese PC in the summer of 2004 where it went on to sell over 200,000 copies. Falcom expands the audience for the game a little wider this week with a PS3 conversion which includes the PSP add-ons such as voice acting in the battle sequences, a bestiary for monsters that have been defeated, and PS3 upgrades including HD graphics, 59-song soundtrack, custom themes, and data sharing with the PSP.

    As the story goes, the Bright family is made up of father Cassius and his children Estelle and Joshua. Looking at the three, one would never guess that Joshua was related to Estelle or Cassius since he looks entirely different. There's a good reason for that - Joshua is an adopted child who came to live with the Brights when he was young. The three are members of a guild of hired hands known as "Bracers" who take on odd jobs and assignments for dosh.

    One day, Cassius receives a letter and heads out to a nearby town to do some work. While he's gone, Estelle and Joshua resolve to handle any of Cassius' Bracer assignments and their first mission is a trek to Perzel Farm which is to the southwest of their town, Rolent. Once the business at the farm is taken care of, more missions are handed out by Scherazard at the guild which eventually lead the pair to a land spanning adventure steeped in intrigue and a pernicious conspiracy. Along with missions from the guild, many unique and interesting side quests are available in the game which allow Estelle and Joshua to level up their Bracer rankings and their hoard of gold. Unlike the early Legend of Heroes games, EDVI features a 3D world with a friendly camera that may be manipulated freely. The battle system allows the use of weapon-based attacks as well as special techniques for magic use and special attacks.
