Tales of Xillia (PS3)
Site just went live. http://tox.namco-ch.net/ Liking the designs of the main characters. Edit - Youtube link for the vid since the site runs like crap and/or is getting absolutely hammered. Last edited by Westlo; 2010-12-15 at 04:08. |

Too bad it'll never be released in America.
I wonder if Namco enjoys not making money? Edit: Thanks for the Youtube link, dude. That battle system looks delicious... very much the superior Team Symphonia aesthetic. Last edited by Tyabann; 2010-12-15 at 04:44. |

In this case, it's actually Bandai Namco USA who are the ones refusing to localise, or let someone else handle the localisation.
So it's more of the fact that the board of directors at Bamco US needs more weaboos.

Well there's always fan translations, and now that PS3 was finally cracked ... Sure it takes time but at least we're getting fan translation for Graces one day .. Maybe Xillia too.
Still though, they should localize the games, and if nothing else, keep the original voicing .. just add subtitles. Surely they would make more money than lose, if all they did was add subtitles to the game and bring it to US/EU ? There's lots of fans for these games w/ their original voicing across the world ... Why can't they realize that. Maybe the games would sell even more if they didn't have crap dubs.

Well for dubs indeed, they are great. Still, if japanese audio was available in the games I would always choose it over the dubs. ( Except maybe not Vesperia, Rita and Raven JP VA's don't fit their personalities ). I'm sure most other fans would do this as well, I don't see why not release the games in EU/US with just japanese audio. If it's issue with money, like I said before, Im sure the sales would exceed whatever money was used to the translation.
Wasn't the main problem in localizing Tales games that the games don't sell enough in US/EU ?
