I've been waiting since 1996 to play this in English, and I'm sure a number of people here have too (or close to it). Everyone here would like to play it ASAP, but it's not that big a deal to wait a little more -- it's still in progress. It's not like it's been abandoned and they need to be convinced to continue work.
Hell, Lunar fans had to wait 10 years between new Lunar games, too. And NiGHTS = 11 years!
I was disappointed last year to learn it was ALMOST done at last but with no ETA, but meh. Just find something to keep you occupied

Adventure games have kind of made a comeback lately, you know. Until someone pays them to finish (like Konami hires them and pays them a real salary), it's pretty easy to understand real life "getting in the way" of finishing.
When it's done though, it's the first thing on my list to blast through. I hope it's not released around when MGS4 comes out though, that's all I ask. TOO MUCH CONFLICT.
