This is a great interview with Tom Lipschultz, aka Wyrdwad, a localization specialist with XSEED Games. This interview goes into a lot of information involving their involvement and releases from Falcom’s titles.
This lengthy interview is pretty great, and Tom gives a lot of insight on various things related to Falcom’s titles, what he’d like to see, and other great insights towards the localization process. It’s definitely a great listen.

There were a number of updates to the Sen no Kiseki website last Thurs and Friday. I’ve compiled a list of them below.
Gaius Worzel
He comes from the northeast regions of Erebonia, from the Nord Plateau. He is tall with dark skin, and uses a spear for a weapon. He tended to sheep and horses on his family’s fields.
He is the oldest of four children, with two younger brothers and a younger sister. Despite living in a remote area, his grades aren’t that bad due to hard work with church school teachings from a traveling priest. He has traveled a long way to attend the military academy, thanks to the endorsements from a certain Imperial military commander.
Claire
A skilled female officer tied to the Imperial Military’s train military police branch that is also one of the Iron Breed, supervised by Prime Minister Girias Osborne. She is known as the ‘Ice Maiden’ and is cautious towards the people of the noble class.
Rufus Albarea
Jusis’ older brother, and the successor of the Albarea home, one of the four houses of Erebonia. He, along with a ‘certain prince,’ is one of the popular discussion topics amongst the nobles.
He is frank with his people, and has a firm belief that the class system is necessary for the empire. As he is a powerful influence on the imperial military, the Reformists wish to be able to control him.
Nord Highlands
This is the plateau found in the northeastern region of the Empire, beyond the Isengard mountain range. The people of this region have been nomads since ancient times, with their livelihood revolving around tending sheep and horses in these pastures.
Nomadic Village of Nord
Gaius’ hometown, located in the central area of the Nord Plateau. Populated with transportable dwellings called ‘gel.’
Train Military Police
An elite force in the imperial military that was sponsored by Prime Minister Girias Osborne and are responsible for the train lines that are spread out throughout the empire. They frequently work with the new information bureau that was also established by the prime minister as well.
All-Round Communication and Unison System (ARCUS)
A new generation combat class orbment developed through joint efforts of the imperial Reinfort Group and the Epstein Foundation that possesses both a simplistic communication system, as well as the Master Quartz functionality.
Its greatest ability is its “Combat Link” function, that allows allies in combat to ‘resonate’ with each other, allow them to perform powerful attacks together, and increase the effectiveness of abilities between individuals with strong ties to each other.
The new wallpaper is now available as well, featuring Alisa Reinford. This will be up until 5/9/2013.
It is available in the following resolutions:

XSEED has announced their acquisition of Atlus Online, and that they will become Marvelous USA. There doesn’t appear to be a change of hands in leadership, as XSEED’s current CEO, Shinichi Suzuki will remain in charge of Marvelous USA, and Ken Berry will be in charge of localization for console and handheld games.
XSEED has already been under parent company Marvelous AQL for quite some time, and numerous reassurances from both Tom (via comments on Silicon Era) and Jess (via @XSEEDGames on twitter – tweet quoted below) that they will still continue to publish games under the XSEED Games name.
Tom has also said that this means that XSEED may get more overseas support, as well as get more Marvelous titles:
It’s really no change for you guys. We’re still going to be releasing games under the name XSEED, just as we always have.
If this announcement has any repercussions to XSEED stuff, it’ll be that (A) we might get more overseas support than ever before, and (B) we might get more Marvelous titles. Both of which are good things. ;)
[The Sky is Falling] Guys, guys, we’re still XSEED. The brand stays the same. I will keep running this twitter. The bacon is still sacred.
