I heard this game has english subs and menus as an option. Is this true?

According to NeoGAF, yes, but the Asian version, not the Japanese version

looks like the asian version is going to be out on feb 24 (going to be a expensive month for ps3 owners : ) ) the asian version is fully translated into english and runs on american /european consoles... im going to preorder it as soon as my pay pal account has been fed some money

while play asia does not ship to europe.. yes asia.com does

Wouldn't surprise me. They had it at 80% sellthrough.

That should make some shops sold out.

Probably more.... "Japanese PS3 owners are desperate for RPGS."

@ kasz: seriously, would you buy a RPG, just because you haven't had any rpg's to play on your console? :-/

Yes.

Even mediocre RPGS are RPGS and if i feel like a new RPG expierence that's the only choice i have.

That or go retro RPG wise, but then it wouldn't be a new expierence.

Look at Red Steel and Resistince Fall of Man for similar US effects.

Lol, sorry, but "dumb" :-/

But hey, I'll guess that'll remain the excuse against the PS3 this entire generation "well, they don't have anything else to play, so no wonder they sell".

It's not really any excuse.  It's just a valid point.

There aren't really any good Japanese styled RPGS right now....

Unless you count SRPGS...

which 90% of the buying public doesn't.

It's practically "Launch territory" with the PS3 on that front.

Same with the Wii.

I hate the excuse / valid point, as it comes across as "well, those gamers are just stupid and drooling at the prospect of another game with the letters RPG on the box".
