Amazing! They need to release it as soon as possible on this side of the globe. If they market it the right way, this series can be big here too.

It's really hard to localize. It contains so much from Japanese folklore and tradition, which is extremely hard to convey in a way that makes sense and is understandable to foreigners. (If it was a book, it would need a ton of footnotes and explanations, which is pretty hard to do for a game.)

Of course if you don't care about all that it's just a monster collecting RPG like any other...

So says this guy....lol

So I guess you have another opinion?

You underestimate how many americans/foreigners like jrpgs.

I don't doubt that.

I just said that localizing these games properly is a nightmare.

I'm translating Japanese to English and German on a daily basis, and even regular texts often make lots of trouble.
