I won't support Europe SRPG if they're in English, this just makes no sense at all.
Seems like there isn't even localized text, all being in english in the western version.
Can someone confirm that subtitles and text are localised for Europe or not ?

Sega usually localise the text to the main European languages, so I'd be surprised if they haven't for this release. Anyone testing will have to set the language in the XMB to French, German, Spanish, etc. If it has been localised then it should be on the NA disc anyway. Sega generally just use the same disc for all regions (my Japanese Sonic & VF5 discs both have European languages on them), although obviously the Japanese disc is different when they release it a lot earlier than in the West.

 

 

But the user reviews on jeuxvideo.com french pages and the french reviews all say the game is in english, and the users complain the game is in english too. Also, the screenshots are all english text.

Can someone with the Europe version confirm if their language is in or not?

My Blockbuster didn't have the game >_>
I don't really wanna buy it without trying it first. I've never played an SRPG...

I doubt many will. It's a very niche game.

 

Have you tried the demo?

No. I don't think it's on the PAL store. All it had under RPG was Folklore and Genji (wtf?)

@ Okey )

ofcourse it's on the PAL store, we even got it earlier than the US Quore users



--OkeyDokey-- on 02 November 2008

Well, why isn't it under RPG? >_>

The bastards put it under strategy!

Its on the pal store, It was on the Pal store earlier than the NA for once too.

Try to look under action / adverture or shooter too, this game has such a mixed gameplay that it can very easily be misclassified.

Unfortunately this is the case. My guess is Sega of America are the ones who localised it, and Sega of Europe wasn't interested in localising it for Europe. SoE are being cheap and are basically just releasing the US version in Europe. Bad job from Sega.

* À noter : ce jeu propose des chansons en Anglais et en Japonais (avec des sous-titres en Anglais). Le texte et les menus sont en Anglais uniquement.

@ BKK2 )

Well, you got to take into consideration, that the game most certainly won't sell enough in europe to recoup the costs of localizing it in all major european languages (+ shipping costs + advertising costs + material/production costs)
