PSO2 NA Release Theories

i'm guessing they grabbed like two randos from a department and told them to translate the whole game, which is taking awhile, but isn't costing all that much.

a thought i just had. could they be waiting for spring break when college kids will be off and be able to play it?

Inb4 people use the fan translation patches on the english version because the translating is better.

Apparently this is more important to SoA at the moment than localizing pso2, they've been posting this on their Facebook page.....http://www.facebook.com/Sega

Well I think it is important, not sure if more important then PSO2 though, I'm all for more JP only games getting localized at all so this is a big step.

That's for the main patch. The story patch is distributed by someone else (who shall not be named here). But I'm sure that person has no intention of replacing his translations with Sega's. For the very reason listed in the post above. Also:

Honestly, if I could get a vita for about $200, I would totally buy one to play a localized pso2. However the appeal of gaming on the go has diminished for me since I am 19 haha.
