Petition to localize Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke/Over My Dead Body

The Issue

Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke (commonly referred to as "OreShika" or "Over My Dead Body" in English) is an RPG originally developed by Alfa System for the PS1 and then later remade for the PSP in 2011.

The game is a Japanese RPG with many very unique elements. You play the son of a legendary hero who has been cursed to age much faster by a demon, only giving you a couple of more years to live. The gods have taken pity on you and allow you to have offspring, sadly all bearing the same curse. The only way to break the curse is to slay the demon who cast it upon you and It's your job to breed and manage your offspring to be ready to combat him.

The game features gorgeous watercolour graphics, dungeons, combat with an interesting magic system, multiple classes, planning future generations, finding deities to bear your offspring, town building, time management and much more so it would be a shame if all of the western world would miss out on it.

It's soon or never for any PSP game and me and many of my friends feels this is the one PSP game that HAS to be localized. The game has a big cult following in Japan and we feel it has the potential to reach the same status in the west. The game also has a sequel in the works for the Vita which makes it a lot more interesting for localization. Taking it under consideration is greatly appreciated.

The purpose of this petition is both to spark an interest in the game and to show that there already is one in it.
