Well, XSEED has said the
sales for Tails in the Sky were lower than expected, which greatly reduces the chances they are ever going to translate the next two games, so it looks a lot like this OVA is the best bet for english speaking fans to enjoy the story beyond the cliffhanger of the first game. Sure, they say a lot of PR speak about how they'll work on making it happen, but I think most of us aren't five and know how to interpret PR-speak.
