From Kotaku
Being a gigantic fan of the Japanese RPG and knowing the appetites of said fans, I am half tempted to just toss these new Famitsu scans out onto the site and then head for high ground to avoid the ensuing flood of drool, but I'll be nice.

Cross Edge is a new RPG due out in Japan for the PlayStation 3 this September that is a collaboration between some of the top names in the genre. Nippon Ichi, Gust, Namco Bandai, Idea Factory, and even Capcom have lent their properties to this superstar game, which features characters from Darkstalkers, Disgaea, Ar Tonelico, and many more. Hell, a game with Etna and Morrigan together alone is worth eleventy million dollars. The game features turn-based battles, a plot that involves rescuing souls, and...if you look to the bottom right corner of the scan...the ability to dress your characters up in a wide variety of outfits, from PE clothes to devil costumes.

Chances of this coming out in the states? Pretty damn unlikely. Chances of me importing this? Over nine thousand. Thanks to SupaPhly for the scans!

Best part of this is anyone who wants to deal with the language barrier can import no problem because of the PS3's region free awesomeness

    As someone who imported Namco X Capcom, I will definitely be getting this.

    All the more reason to get a PS3.

    As someone who also imported NxC, I can almost guarantee this will never come out here.

    And as someone who works for one of the companies, I can tell you that at least the chances are higher than NxC :)

    I was sold on the idea until I got to the Idea Factory part of it.

    Not a fan of their work.

    Meh... Ive always enjoyed generation of chaos and chaos wars for PS2 looks pretty cool. Other than that though what have they really done released in america?

    I would buy this and I don't even own a PS3. I would buy this in hopes that one day I'll have a PS3 and could play this.

    Ugh, everyone other than the characters from Capcom and Disgaea look absolutely generic. Sorry if my enthusiasm is non-existent.

    Well, yeah, but any hope that starts up gets dashed by the fact that Namco-Bandai are involved.
