Umm duh. Slow as localization can be, it wasn't gonna be THAT slow. Thought you had an actual month, or at least a quarter period -_____-

We dont know yet, proably in the fall to match the timing of the NA anniversary

 

[Lancelot]

lol I would bloody well hope it comes before September 17th, then. Although if the Japanese March release is on the 28th, the September 17th NA release would fit it.

 

[Gexus]

Fantastic news! It seems that we will be getting an English trailer very soon then. I can't wait

 

[Silver_Soul]

As long as its not during the summer, it is good

My summer is always so convoluted, and i never have the time for videogames

 

[blueheart]

I call May or June. No later.

 

[inasuma]

I like it when it comes out in March or September, any earlier/later usually feels weird. Coded was that way (ended up selling it anyway so lol).

I'm still saying late Spring/early Summer. No way they will hold this game back for six months to have nice anniversary dates. :/ you know how much they'd suffer from a lack of interest because the game would have been out for months?

Re:coded only had a three month gap, and other recent SE games have had about the same time gap.

This game is not like BBS where somehow we all can wait for eight months (and we still don't know why it took so long to come out considering it was explicitly stated that localization was finished in about three months :/). I'd find it a complete reversal of how SE has been treating their releases as of late. The gap in release dates have been getting smaller since BBS' release and if they decide to make some silly date choice based in nostalgia, I'm sorry but they are fools. :|

What if they decide to add extra features to the NA edition, like boss batles, cutsceanes, etc. Would that delay it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was said that they were working on localization while they worked on the Japanese version. So I'd think anything like that would've been added in already.

 

[Shamdeo]

Yeah the localization has been ongoing. At least I can talk about it now!

" We also need approval from overseas, so we're putting in localisation along the way, which is hard work"

More good news. That's great *U* Means we won't have such a gap between the time it comes out in Japan and EU/NA
Having no 3DS is really sad at this moment.

 

[KHplaya]

[bigbadcloud]

[XIII Heartless]

Can we start bugging VA's yet?! Lol

 

[Hero]

Oh gawd. Here I was thinking of not purchasing a 3DS until a 3DS Lite was out, but at this rate I may just give in and buy one. Ugh.

How many people are planning on buying the game at launch? I wouldn't mind buying a 3DS if there were plenty of games, but there really aren't. I already suffered through the original DS' launch. I'm not going through that again.

This is like the one time I'm not happy at an announcement like this.
