April 22, 2016 at 9:31 amMy thoughts on this are:
1. I Am Setsuna is still a dumb generic name, should have just translated it directly as Setsuna of Snow and Sacrifice. That would have called more attention than this for sure.
2. More Chrono Trigger always appreciated
3. PSVita version would be appreciated

April 22, 2016 at 9:58 amMy only thoughts are, how are they going to ruin it during localization?

April 22, 2016 at 11:45 amIs it true that the West is getting neither a physical release nor a Vita release?
I swear I should just stop keeping up with gaming news. Every time a game like this is announced for Japan I get excited for it being announced for the US, but with increasing frequency these days the Western release announcements are always filled with bad news.
Digital only, handheld games being released not on handhelds (which I adore) but needlessly on home consoles, censorship, memes, retarded name changes, terrible cover art, etc.
By the time I actually get these games that I’ve been looking forward to for a year+ my excitment and enthusiasm has turned into sour resentment, and it interferes with my enjoyment of the games.
Is it really SO unprofitable to give a game a good translation and a physical release in the US???

April 22, 2016 at 12:40 pmThe guys in charge should just do a job of translation, not localization

PSP has a shitload of games that never made an appearance in the West.

April 22, 2016 at 12:54 pmDigital only… well guess it just means I pick it up on sale.

April 22, 2016 at 12:57 pmThere’s a lot of “where’s the PS Vita version?” and “no physical no buy”. This may turn out to be quite entertaining.

Hopefully the in-game voice acting is better.

April 23, 2016 at 1:47 amI don’t really like the localized name and it might not end up being a good game, but wow, that’s some gorgeous music and art.

April 23, 2016 at 2:05 amI thought it’s called “localization”?
