Who is waiting for the US version? Anyone worried?

You do know there's a patch that lets you view all the menus and most of the COs in English right? It's already been stated that the people behind that project will continue even after the NA release.

By subtle elements i believe he means things like message packs and other dialogues

I count those with the story, so I didn't really think "subtle". I can see what you're saying though.

[Rootsuki]

and what level are you?

Right now im using my 50/50 HuFi, and I started getting my RA to 43 and my GU to 17.

I did know, yes, but is this allowable? I'm not particularly keen on getting banned.

If it's useable without recourse, I'll DL it tonight.

While it is technically against the ToS, it's more or less undetectable unless you use <t> in chat and you're targeting something with an English name. If you were to, for example, target a rappy and say it in chat, it would show up as "Rappy" to everyone else in lieu of "ラッピー”.

Not terribly worried, because killing off the localization after setting up an official site and showcasing at their booth at PAX Prime 2012, it would be another suicide move by Sega.

But to not hear a single peep since then, nothing in Facebook, Twitter, updates to the official site since then? I'm just going to assume their community manager and team are just very inept

did you not play PSU or the sonic 06?

[blace]

Those were done by Sonic Team, not the same staff of people that worked on past titles.

There is a file which you can either backup yourself or download (again) to keep all target names in japanese (except npcs, but includes shop terminals).
So that shouldn't be an issue....unless you use <t> with npc names in a JP party.
