Atlus has announced a The Alliance Alie Launch Edition for the Americas.

First-print copies and pre-orders of The Alliance Alive will be the launch edition of the game, which incldues an exclusive CD with 20 tracks, art book with more than 30 pages of detailed illustrations, and a Robbins penguin key chain.

Atlus also released a new trailer introducing some of the characters fighting together against the evil daemons that have taken over the world of The Alliance Alive.

Here's an overview of the game, via Atlus:
One thousand years ago, Daemons invaded the world of Humans
They subjugated Humanity and created the Great Barrier to separate the realms. The world was thrown into upheaval, and the Dark Current was born. It carved a cross-shaped swath across the ocean, swallowing countless cities in its wake. Humanity was decimated. Hundreds of years later, Daemons rule atop a hierarchical society. However, the time for resistance has come. The world is about to change yet again…

Crafted by Legendary Talent
With writing by Yoshitaka Murayama, game design by Kyoji Koizumi, a vision realized by director Masataka Matsuura, and a stunning score delivered by acclaimed composer Masashi Hamauzu, players will experience the nostalgia delivered by these JRPG greats. With gorgeous world exploration, an intertwining story involving nine memorable characters, and strategic, turn-based gameplay mechanics, players won't want to miss this return to JRPG excellence.

Built on a sprawling world replete with numerous secrets to discover, players will need to establish and unite guilds throughout the four realms while battling the Daemons. Use the "Ignition" system, a part of the turn-based combat that allows for deep customization and nuanced gameplay, to reach an enhanced state and deliver devastating Final Strikes. In The Alliance Alive, players will need to keep their wits about them and think strategically to win each fight!

I might have to import this version considering we probably won't get it in Europe. Also I'm seriously glad Atlus is giving The Alliance Alive a chance, I thought that it would never move out of Japan after the muted reception of Legend of Legacy. This game seems to fix all my qualms about TLoL and add a lot more meat in the story and characterization department.

Everything about this seems up my alley. Everything but no announcement for Europe. I bet if this makes it over, it will be digital only.

Grid based combat, removal of the element system, five characters, more fleshed out story. Soundtrack sounds great. It seems it was better received in Japan, but I haven't read many impressions about the game from westerners.

I hope my Amazon order will automatically be updated to this edition. Can't wait. Furyu is like a more humble but ultimately more effective version of the Imageepoch. I wondered whether the latter would have survive if they lasted to release games on the Vita. So many of their games went untranslated.
