[edit] Rumors and Speculation about sequels and localization

Although Atlus USA has made no announcement on whether or not they have even considered localizing Swordcraft Story 3, many have speculated that they are truly working on it, some go as far as saying that a DS port is in the works because of the GBA's lack of popularity in the US, justifying that, "on the GBA's deathbed, Atlus succeeded in localizing the first two, But with the death of the GBA at hand, they found it to be a poor decision to localize the third installment".
