I figured someone would bring this stateside eventually...but Atlus? I mean, visually speaking, hardly seems like their kind of game. Then again, I'm probably just saying that because I've been playing so many DS games brought over by them lately...and PS2 games...
Of course, an insanely difficult action rpg certainly IS Atlus style. I've been curious about this game, honestly, though not so much that I actually looked into it past a few videos/screenshots. This is the first I'm hearing of the hint system and the difficulty. The idea of leaving hints (written in blood, no less) for other players certainly piques my interest, but I half expect to see "The cake is a lie...is a lie...is a lie..." written fairly often...
