This popped up on my twitterfeed...

After looking through the guys Tweets, and looking around in general, it's more than likely a dubious attempt to say SoA fails.

If something like this were true, you would more than likely recieve notification from a Sega rep rather than a anonymous tip through Twitter.

If the English patch is stopping them from releasing it then wouldn't they have sent a C&D letter to the group who made the patch?

It's getting to be too late to release this game overseas anyways.. releasing an offline game 1+ years later is another story... an online game like PSO? eehhhhhhhhh...

Other games have taken years to reach western servers, no idea why you're complaining about that.

I know a metric shit ton of people who wants an english version and won't touch the japanese version :C I don't see how this excuse flies at all.

Same here.

@blace Can I have examples of said games?

i think you misunderstand me completely... but that's fine I guess.

I can only think of "meh" examples, but Fantasy Earth Zero, Megaten, and Dynasty Warriors Online definitely fit the bill, from what I know.

@Rien: See above.

EDIT: Okay, Megaten was just a year or so. Double-checked on that one because I wasn't sure.

european dragon nest only became a thing in march 2013 and thats what, 3 years, jesus christ
and if you played dragon nest you'd know how important local servers are since its an action game and pvp oriented
vindictus eu too took almost 2 years, also lolworthy
mabinogi EU took 6 years
maple story EU took 4 years

why am i mentioning EU? oh, because NA cockblocks everything outside of NA in those games

I can think of a couple that I've played.

Tales Runner with it's original Korean release in 2005 with a western release in 2008.

It's only a year for it, but S4 League.

ArcheAge, an up and coming MMO similar to Tera is seeing a western release next year.

Yeah, it's not that much of a lineup for late releases, but still viable.

Edit: Didn't think to look into EU dates, but S4 League was released in the EU in 2008 with a supposed NA version 3 years ago, before that was changed and EU was in charge and officially supporting NA servers since 2011.
