With the announcement of Sakura Wars V making it's way to U.S. shores this winter, I've been in a major Sakura Wars mood, playing most of the games all the way through again.
I happen to beat Sakura Wars 4 recently (my second playthrough) and decided to record the end credits sequence (which are always so well put together in Sakura Wars games). I recorded it from my SEGA Dreamcast using the S-Video cable hookup.
This time through, I had Orihime Soletta as my "favorite" at the end of the game, so this is the Orihime ending. Unfortunately, to fit the video under YouTube 10 minute limit, I had to cut about the first minute of her ending off, but you see the image at the end of that part right at the start of the video, so you really don't miss much.

@Snatcher2047 Well, I'm iffy on the culture thing seeing that Sakura Taisen has a fanbase in the US. It has been a complete pain to introduce people to the franchise, though. Seeing how people have gobbled up Family Project and how there are people that have been wanting ST brought to the US for how many years, I have a hard time believing culture is the major reason. Well, either that or the ST fanbase in the states is very very tiny.

@AJ15ist Already got her ending ages ago, I just happen to go for Orihime's when I recorded this. Besides, Orihime > Sakura. :P Haha, I kid, I kid.

@Ruisu7 Granted, but none of those are the real reason it did poorly. It's all about culture. Dating simulators (yes, that's what this series is) are HUGE in Japan. They've never caught on in the States. There are more reasons, but that's one of the main ones.

@Snatcher2047 Admitedly, they did a couple of things that made no sense. Like changing some of the character names. V also happens to be so blatantly innacurate that anyone from the US that is anywhere neat NY probably found the whole thing silly and way beyond the normal threasholds for creative license. They probably wouldhave done way better bringing Sakura Taisen 3 over, IMO.

@NovaBurst Unfortunately, at this time the answer is no. Apparently Sakura Wars: So Long My Love did not sell very well here in the States, making it difficult for Nisa or any other company to want to try and bring it here.

@heidiho3938 wait, so are the previous 4 sakura wars games getting released into America?!

*wipes a tear* Ah, memories...
I'm a big Orihime fan, so this was the first ending I went for as soon as I got Sakura Taisen 4.
