One problem with the localization delay issue is that if Fire Emblem Awakening's DLC was free outside of Japan, then Japanese people would get mad that they had to pay for the stuff while people overseas don't have to. So you can't please everyone.
Of course, they could just have made a special edition for Japan with all DLC included, after the overseas launch, but then Japanese people would have to pay again (if they bought the first edition but not the DLC), so that spawns another question, who will have to pay more?
Yep.
