There's a lot of text to go through and edit as well. But my point is that Tales games are going to have higher localization costs than a game like Tekken or something but still less. So obviously Namco would prioritize some series over Tales.

Again this really doesn't matter much right now.

Again, they'd more than cover the costs for a game as big as Tales of.  It's not like they have to redevelop the entire game again.  Localization probably wouldn't even reach a quarter of a million for an RPG. 

Why would they be releasing Xillia 2 after seeing just the amount of preorders?  The sales haven't even hit 100,000 yet, but clearly, localization takes way too much money.  Namco Bandai must not be making any money on that.  RIght?  Right?   Xillia bombed in the west confirmed!  I think I made my point.
