>Metal Max isn't dead?
No, but MM2 SFC's translation might as well be, given how AG hasn't updated in over two years on fucking anything.
Metal Max is one of the handful of classic JRPG series that's kept on trucking. For some people out here it might not seem all that current, or perhaps for some not even that old (assuming they don't know the history and think Metal Saga is its own unique IP) since we've only ever officially gotten Metal Saga back in 2006, and the only one with a finished translation patch, as far as I'm aware, being MMR. So as far as English playability goes it's been a mere two games out of nine, soon to be ten, games and versions (not counting mobile/browser/MMO shit). Seems kind of odd that there's been little actual finished effort to fan-translate the games, while Data-Easts other JRPG series, Glory of Heracles, now has every entry playable in English.
>It's the kind of thing X-Seed would translate too.
If Xseed wanted to pick it up, it makes me wonder what the series rights out here are. Assuming they didn't pick up only the rights to Metal Saga, would Atlus still be sitting on them and need to be convinced to sell, or might the rights now be free-for-all and anyone could make Kadokawa (and/or Cattle Call, given they developed 3 and 4) an offer?
Speaking of which, has it been said who's doing the development on Xeno yet? Asking since I know the series has changed development hands/been a collaboration in the past since Data-East's fall.
