Does an old game Chaos Wars give us fans hope and is Universal Entertainment willing to sell?

There is a game that featured Shadow Hearts characters which I never played it is meant to be bad but could the game show that there is a slight glimmer of hope? Let's talk about it!

- Chaos Wars
I think Chaos Wars can give fans hope. It was made by Idea Factory which featured characters from Shadow Hearts Covenant: Yuri, Alice, Karen & Nicolai. Granted the story had basically 0 to do with Shadow Hearts as it was a crossover for multiple franchises but regardless a deal had to have happened to allow idea factory to use the characters from Shadow Hearts meaning maybe Universal Entertainment are willing to negotiate. Also the game came out after SH From The New World and Nautilus had practically ceased to exit at that point which maybe can gives fans a slight glimmer of hope. Maybe it is funny that hope

Please note I have not yet played Chaos Wars mainly due to it never being released for pal regions. But I do hope to try it some day soon via emulation. Apparently it is meant to be so bad that its kinda good. I look forward to seeing the Shadow Hearts characters in it.

- Is Universal Entertainment willing to sell?
Chaos Wars was released in NA back in 2008 and it was a good while after when From the new world came out and it used characters from Shadow Hearts Covenant Yuri, Alice, Karen and Nicolai The game was done and published by Idea Factory. So some kind of a deal can be possible since they were willing before. Even though Chaos Wars was in no way a Shadow Hearts game but they still would have needed a deal to be able to use the characters.

Maybe they are waiting for a serious offer. But how do you value Shadow Hearts for someone to buy the rights? Would it be in the hundreds of thousands or a million plus? Honestly I wouldn't be surprised by any amount.

Machida the creator of Shadow Hearts, now has his own studio Wildrose. He has showed interest in working with an investor to bring back Shadow Hearts. You can see tweets on twitter, but question is if fans realise that it could take a lot of money to do so.

The important thing is someone serious needs to contact Universal to get them to sell or make a deal. Random fans even with money or good intentions they will not take them seriously...

I think the right solution will be someone or a company who has a good relationship with Universal Entertainment and maybe a deal can be struck there easier but that would probably be quite limited from what we know Wildrose or maybe Marvelous Inc unless if there is more that we do not know of...
