Sakura Taisen.

 

Wait did some of those actually come to the US? Thought they were all japan only releases.

No, they're still import only AFAIK. There was some effort made on a Western Translation back in 2006 but I never heard anything more about it so I assumed it was vaporware.

It's a real shame that most of the western world has never even heard of it...

How complicated is the gameplay anyway from an import 'can't understand japanese' standpoint?

Depends on the game.  A good portion of Valkyria Chronicles' system looks to be ripped directly out of the later Sakura Taisen games.  Suffice it to say that it's a bit more complex than the average SRPG system.

There is a lot of talking/decision making though (at least there was in ST3).  Having a translation FAQ with you is a must IMO.
