I sincerly lost hope on this getting localized in the West. Well it may release in Europe, but I doubt NoA will localize this.

Since Nintendo bought Monolith Soft, none of their Nintendo published games have made it to the USA. Soma Bringer never made it over and neither did Disaster Day of Crisis.

NoA  doesn't seem to be keen of localizing such games. They haven't localized games like Zangeki No Reginleiv, Trace Memory R, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Fatal Frame 4, Captain Rainbow, Takt of Magic, Kensax, etc.

Niche or niche-core games don't have a chance here with NoA. NoE is more open to this kind of games, so it might have a chance of getting released there. Even when people bring up that Nintendo has registered Xenoblade in the US (albeit with the name Monado) those kinds of things happen all the time. Just remember that Disaster DoC was announced during E3 in the USA and even had American English voice overs, yet the game never saw the daylight here.

The Last Story might have bigger chances of getting localized, but I wouldn't be surprised if they passed up on that one too. Japan never misses on any games, go figure.

This will probably be the case.  I'm afraid more companies are going to follow Namco in their idea of giving non-Japanese fans the finger on jRPGs. 

 

Last Story will probably get localization treatment - just because it's Sakaguchi and Lost Odyssey did ok considering the facts in the USA.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
