Tir Na Nog RPG Announced for PSP

In Irish mythology, the Tir Na Nog is an mysterious realm that lies off of the Western edge of the map, occupied by the forever young and visited by heroes of Irish lore. It is a fantastic setting for an RPG, and Japanese games maker System Soft seem to agree. The company has announced that it will be bringing a Tir Na Nog RPG to both the PSP and PS2 systems early next year. The console title is based on an earlier PC game. True to its PC gaming roots, Tir Na Nog features a crisper and more realistic graphical style. Landscapes and enemies took more realistic and more western than the usual anime-inspired JRPG fare. The series has developed a small but loyal following in Japan, but is virtually unknown outside of that country. Hopefully System Soft will see fit to produce a Western localization of the game, since we can never have too many RPGs on the PSP.
