...Localization is fast but porting takes time? ARE YOU FRIKKING SERIOUS? Localization isn't nearly as fast as you would think, especially for a game that will have as much text and vocal work as this one. Localization isn't just a matter of translate text, input text. A great deal of programming is still necessary, just ask the guys that did the Translation for Mother 3. Translating it is the easy part.

I'm assuming you meant porting here, right? Otherwise I'm like so totally confused, lol.

OT: Was it ever actually given an official release date before this?

 

i think he meant there is much more to the localization than just translating.

Ah ok, that makes more sense to me.
