Nihon Falcom may not be a household name on this side of the Pacific, but according to a recently released financial report it looks like that may change in the near future. According to that report the Japanese company is hoping to boost sales by localizing a significant chunk of their PSP library for North America.

Falcom was once a leading Japanese PC developer whose library extends back to the early ’80s and many of their modern games still channel that old school vibe. Despite originally developing primarily for PC, most of their games were also ported to consoles; old-time RPG lovers may remember classics such as Faxanadu on NES and the SNES rougelike Brandish, although they are likely most fondly remembered for Ys: Book I & II for the TurboGrafx-CD. More recently Falcom has been fairly quiet, releasing only a small handful of titles outside of the first three entries in their The Legend of Heroes series.

We’ll have to wait until  Falcom officially announces some titles to find out which of their current Japanese PSP library they will be bringing over, but with the possibility of playing games like Ys Seven and Brandish: Dark Revenant, JRPG fans should have a lot to look forward to in the near future.
