Well, chock this one up to 'Sega of America is still the retarded kid at the back of the class,' the seemingly brainless company has recently announced that it will be bringing Resonance of Fate to North America in Spring 2010.
Hey, you say, you've never heard of Resonance of Fate before! Is this a new IP? Er, well, yes it is, but maybe not as new as you might think, as it is just a renaming of the upcoming tri-Ace developed Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 RPG, End of Eternity.
For the forgetful, End of Eternity is an action-RPG with turn-based functionality built in set in a dystopic city floating above the surface of a destroyed Earth in the future. The game is the first tri-Ace project without Enix's publishing supervision, and tri-Ace's first true multiplatform game. It is due out sometime late this year in Japan.
So, why the completely irrelevant name change? Why the extra wait for a North American version? It's Sega. Need I say more?
Ugh (facepalm). As if we needed more proof that Sega of America is totally clueless.
North America Debut Trailer
End of Eternity will be available in Japan this Winter in Japan, and next Spring in North America (as Resonance of Fate) on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Bravo, Sega. You fail again.

They changed the name because Asimov's sci-fi novel, look it up on wikipedia before making stupid about Sega failing...
i know about the book, it exists in Japan as well.
there is no copyright issue with the name, and Sega has not officially stated that the name change was made to avoid confusion with the book. that has been pure speculation on the part of the press.
for all we know, the developers are making some allusion to Asimov that has now been arbitrarily changed for no apparent reason.
until Sega provides a legitimate reason why the name change was made, they still fail.
