Well, if you understand Japanese, I see no reason why you shouldn't import.

That and you'll help me out in the process.....

Were sales really that poor for 360 Vesperia that Namco decided not to bring the PS3 version to the West ?
Maybe they wondered if it would flop badly like Eternal Sonata PS3...

I would assume after the sales of their own Tekken 6 that they'd realize the 360 is not a good barometer for the sales of Japanese games in the west, let alone franchises that have traditionally appeared on PlayStation platforms.

But I think Namco's weak record of localizing games has more to do with the gutting of their NA branch a few years back than anything else.  These days, all you see from them are Tekken, Naruto, DBZ, and Gundam games.  Anything else ain't making it over.  I don't think they have the manpower for much else.  It sucks they refuse to let smaller publishers like Atlus handle their IPs, though.

And it's incredibly ironic that Namco picked up the publishing rights for Demon's Souls in Europe.  They refuse to handle their own well-recieved though niche RPGs, but they'll gladly pick up Sony's niche RPG.


Demon's Souls>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any tales game that has released or will be released

?...no buddy demon souls doesnt compare to alot of tales games though it is a great game.
