Operation Rainfall is once again a success.

After the April 2nd launch of Xenoblade Chronicles,  announced today that the popular Japan RPG, The Last Story, will be coming to North American shores sometime this summer, under the publishing wing of Xseed.

The Last Story is a collaboration between Nintendo and Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and has been a part of a fan movement, dubbed Operation Rainfall, in an attempt to bring Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower, three massively successful RPGs in Japan, to North America. So far, they are 2 for 3.

Currently there’s no word on an American release of Pandora’s Tower, but if sales are impressive for Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story, there’s no doubting that we’ll see a release for the third game targeted by the fan movement.

    My husband and I are in the nationwide guard. My agreement is up in 2012. I Will be 27- practically 28 by then.

    The difficulty is… My husband volunteers for every single deployment/mission that comes up. We returned from a deployment very last year (we went together). He volunteered for a stateside mission very last fall. And since then he has been seeking to deploy again (and he made a decision to volunteer final week without having my knowledge, but that’s one more story). He leaves any day now.

    Because of every thing he volunteered for, we have put in significantly less than a year of our marriage together. Right After he will get again from this deployment we’ll both be obtaining deployed 6 months later. When we get back again from that deployment in 2011. I’ll only have a 12 months left on my contract, be searching to get a home, and wanting children.

    My problem is that I will want children at that point in my life, but I won’t want to have them since he would not be around. How can I have youngsters with a person who is by no means there?

    I talked to a counseler for the 1st time yesterday. She advised me that due to the fact my husband is ADHD, his impulse choices to volunteer are just one thing I Will have to deal with. I’m so discouraged and frightened we’ll never have kids.
