They would translate it in normal conditions. It's their most ambitious game, so I guess they would want to make it international. But this game is probably a year away in japan - so two years or so away for the west market (based on DQIX). This is not exactly "normal conditions" for the DS market since by that time the 3DS will completely overshadow the DS in the west - and sales will suffer bad, I don't think they'll compesate the huge efforts and costs of localizing a game that big. That's why I don't think it's very likely a release. They'll probaby use the PS3 version to "internationalize" the franchise instead. But even then, if it gets released in the next 2 years, lol... because going by the DS version, this can be also a game released next to PS4 launch. |
Also, Level 5 isn't exactly known for their quick localization process.... ugh.
JRPGs are always the last big games to release for a system, though... I'm still hopeful.
Man, I really want to play both versions, according to Wenlan's OP they're going to follow different stories.
