Very nice, always a pleasure to see the community have the ability to contribute in some way to the games they love.

[GUARDIANDNL]

they look great on the game!!!!...thanks for the preview RubyEclipse!!!!!!

[xBladeM6x]

I'm surprised about how those look honestly. They look every bit as good in the game as they did when posted on the art contest page. Impressive!

[BWS-1]

O man, good stuff! Darn, the more I keep reading about PSP2 - even if I'm tempted to wait for Infinity - the more I just want to go out and get me a PSP and PSP2 tomorrow and START ANEW ONCE AGAIN!

[Titan200]

That president Rappy is too CUTE!! (>*3*)>

The photos are so clear! The Rappy one is so creative, I like how they're familiar with American customs or is that fan art from U.S. side?

[pso_crash]

They look great! Thanks for sharing.

I really like Alis poster.

[vfloresjr24]

I need those in my room now!!!!!! *Jumps through window*

[RubyEclipse]

Hey Ruby, I guess you'd be the guy to ask for this (I think I asked you when we were playing together on SEED Express a couple months ago), but exactly which promotional codes/items are coming over to the US version? I know you said before that some of them were being contested, but any of them pull though the localization process?

A lot made it through - I'm actually really amazed at how few got cut. Siliconera is going to be covering a number of these in a news article very soon. :)

These were the 1st and 2nd place entries for the U.S. fan-art contest held some months back.

Sweet! I look forward to reading about it on siliconera, thanks for the heads up and great job on showing off the in game contest winners, I'm sure its exciting for anyone to have their art featured in game.

[DreXxiN]

Very sick, thanks Ruby. Will be looking forward to this.

[kongajinken]

That's good that not much got cut between the JP->US copy right mumbo jumbo.

[RubyEclipse]

Siliconera article is live. :)

No mention of Toro and Kuro.... :-(

[RubyEclipse]

No mention of Toro and Kuro.... :-(

I don't think they made it in, but I'll go through my big list and check. Anything that is really heavily licensed - like Toro and Kuro - is often impossible to bring over because of the way the agreements were created and signed.

The Pizza Hut items, which became Pizza shack items, are a different story because we can re-brand them. But characters are very clear IP, which sometimes makes it impossible to bring them over.

[Ethateral]

I really enjoyed the Toro and Kuro mission and having them as NPCs. Sadface.

Instead, can we get Ruby and Edward NPCs in place? :3

[CLARK]

They did a great job. I anticipate DLC NPCs... Ugwa anyone?

[Kyo daikun]

Aww they were the one thing I really wanted in the game, guess I will be getting Infinity when its out.

That is a make or break for you? I had them in the JP version, but it's not the only cool thing. Oh well. =/

[Kyo daikun]

Not make or break, just pushes me to want to get a japanese version of the game as well.

Don't understand how sega can't get an agreement extended to 2 extra release's internationally, is it really that hard? If it is why bother trying to do this stuff in the first place...

Just a shame as I feel they were pretty much the biggest colaboration in the game and then find out 2 hours before I download it that they are not actually in the game.

(It's been known for a while that they weren't going to be in the US version)

I believe they're a mascot for Playstation in JP are they not? Something like that. Which makes it hard to carry over to the west.

The data that was ripped from the demo showed their partner cards in the list (down as white cat and black cat) so there was still hope they would be included.

Yes they are japanese mascots but are very popular outside of japan, so much so that with Little big planet Media molecule released the Toro outfit outside of japan as a lot of people asked for it, the mission to unlock them looked quite fun as well so its another reason I am dissapointed about it.

[chibiLegolas]

Awesome! Thanks RubyEclipse for the teaser.
I want that rappy poster in game AND IRL!
Pretty darn cool that fans can contribute to the game in a way.
