I fully expect the game to hit Japan around the holidays. For the rest of us? We'll be waiting at least six months, unless Sony has suddenly convinced Level 5 to change their traditional localization practices. I'm sure we'll see a great deal of info on the game at TGS, and maybe E3.

But this is good. Eternal Sonata and WKC should help the ps3 out in Japan near the end of the year.

Hopefully.

As DQ 9 is being released simulteneously....thats why I think maybe this one too

 

WKC could see a Global release.  Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII took a year to get localized because the developers wanted to improve the games from their original releases

 

There has been a localization delay for all of Level 5's projects, including Dark Cloud 1/2, Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII, and even Professor Layton.  The shortest localization process (for the US, anyway) was Dark Cloud 2, which took only three months to make it stateside.  Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII, and Layton, however, all took a year to make it to the US.

Given that this is Sony's first big JRPG for the console, I'm sure they'll rush the localization process and advertise the game heavily, much like they did with the original Dark Cloud, but I'm not too optimistic about it hitting the US this year.

I'd love for it to release this year, but I'm not getting my hopes up. :(
