I'm just happy that a first-party publisher is treating a massive home console JRPG as a flagship, system-selling release. Progress!

Does this mean they're going to actually publish it in all territories for a worldwide simultaneous release? That's the minimum bar for consideration of that title.


Both NoE and NoA have the trailers on their Youtube page and the NoA version of the trailer has the translated the names of the people working on it so it seems safe to say that they're planning on localizing it.

Have you tried Xenoblade yet?

Nope, but I did log another 3 hours into Last Story last night. Will moving to it as soon as I beat that.

Ah, quit Last Story, that's cheesy, overlinear crap. Start Xenoblade so you can have played maybe 30% until Pandora's Tower comes out for you Americans. No time for Last Story.

Last Story was decent. It only takes a little while to finish so just let him do as he wants.

I like it. The story has been oddly paced, but it's still enjoyable. I'm on chapter 31, so I'm getting near the end. I play a lot simultaneously because I own and play all platforms. Check my backloggery for examples.

I wouldn't go that far. We normally can't even expect a simultaneous release for a Final Fantasy or Pokemon title. And at least one of those two franchises typically moves systems.

That's one of the things Square did this generation to try and appeal to the West. Timely localizations so that other areas didn't feel they were being ignored. While there was a 3 month delay for XIII (it was most likely due to WW release of two versions with multiple languages), SO4 was simultaneous, and XIII-2 only had a 1.5 month wait.

if that is what you consider to be simultaneous, then I wouldn't worry very much. If X is anything like Xenoblade, it will probably be easier to localize than a recent Final Fantasy game.

I think so. And hope so too. I'm getting sick of WRPGs. Ugh.
Hear me out, I like western RPGs, but the thing is, it feels to action driven and the stories don't seem to move me like JRPGs. It has more of an emphasis on "player customization" which is fine, but I'd prefer a deep story and customization that doesn't sacrifice character design and plot in exchange for making you feel more immersed.

I make bad threads.  

SSB really went downhill after Melee....

Did some looking around and the longest people have waited for an FF game is ~3 months which is pretty good. Front Mission only had a week long distance between western and Japanese release. That's a far cry from the 1 year+ time it used to take.

I think we can reasonably call this another sign of progress. I think Dark Souls had a 1-2 week wait as well, another From Software-developed game. Maybe there's a connection.
