I'm not sure about that. Are the old games still beeing developed by Falcom for the west or is it another developer working on those? If it is then Falcom is free to work on the localised version of the newest LoH. I think it would be in their best interest to bring it over as soon as possible in order to increase the exposure to the series and the interest for the classic games. |
Interestingly, Pyramid (who developed Patapon with Sony) are doing the two Vita remakes.
Of course, it's not Falcom who are bringing the LoH games over to the west. It's XSeed at the moment, but any of the other localization houses are free to make an offer for the games I suppose.
I'm not really sure it is in Falcom's best interests to try and bring the most recent game over either. From what I understand of the series, it's far more convoluted and based on knowledge of previous games than something like say - Ys - which can be pretty self-contained. Although I believe Sen no Kiseki is the start of a new story, they'd probably prefer it if Zero & Ao got localized first. And since they're on Vita, they don't have quite the same trouble which Trails had of releasing in PSP's twilight years.
