| MontanaHatchet said: Final Fantasy is a game with tons of dialogue, and in development that dialogue is written in Japanese. Translating that for western audiences can take months. There are dozens of games made by western companies that get released in Japan long after they are released in America or PAL. |
Localization is a bitch. It's a long, painful, mind numbing process that just takes A LOT of time. Worse yet, it tends to be something that comes towards the end of the project because any text changes means that text changes must be made for every language (and there are many text changes even at the end of the project).
