Keep in mind this is Kotaku, but this is pretty depressing, but nonetheless not in the slightest bit surprising considering how awful Square Enix has been to it's fans of late.
Really though I can't help but not be surprised that what is easily the only Square Enix game I have any remote interest in would stay Japan exclusive, while all we're looking to get are more re-releases, Final Fantasy XIII and Kingdom Hearts. Is this all they plan on being in North America from here on out because honestly I don't see why they don't just go Japan exclusive at this point. They're practically dead creatively anyway save for this game and the stuff Eidos is putting out.
At least there will apparently be Fire Emblem: Awakening so I can take some solace in that.
