Well, it could improve chances of localization, or so I would think. With something like Xillia, they would have to hire new actors to voice the game in English (or just do the cheap way of keeping the Japanese voices and have English subtitles), spend time/money on the translation of all the text and possibly advertising (I don't think they really do any at all for Tales games outside of Japan). With the profits gained from the Japanese sales, do you risk localization and not getting much back in return, or do you take the chance with the possibility of a good/great return with the localization?
