why doesnt sega just come out and say theres no west release

[9898]

And yet sega of America has recently fired a large portion of thier staff. I dont get why people give the benefit of the doubt to sega knowing what they are doing when they constantly butcher their best franchise.

there are different shades of extremity when it comes to corporate restructuring. they aren't doing this because they are going under, btw. it's to return to profitability by eliminating redundant positions and thinning the payroll. many electronics businesses aren't profitable from time to time but that doesn't mean the sky is falling. there is no benefit of the doubt here, i already covered how they will probably fuck up the na release if it ever happens.

It would be funny if Sea company playpark.net host is using that patch aida and other made so just they can have English version lol

[WildarmsRE5]

unfortunately, the SEA version isn't using it.

I can confirm it, I participated in the SEA-- errr SHIT Beta cause I live in SEA.

All I want to know is what happened in between the time Sega announced a West release! what caused them to delay/cancel it? its not like they did any poles to see if there was actual demand or lack there of in the west

Sega America has poor Marketing skills.

There hasnt been since....Dreamcast. Maybe GC.

It's an extremely niche franchise and SoJ, like other Japanese countriesCOMPANIES and unlike SQE, hasnt yet realized that the western hemisphere actually LIKES JRPGs.

Though really, SoJ just has its head up its ass and conversely that affects SoE who happens to hold power over SoA, who is a bitch to everyone lol.

Financially, Sega is on top of the world, but fuck everything else. That's why from OUR perspective, Sega looks fucking insane...until you look at their stocks and read their fiscal reports.

I don't think I've ever seen an EN Phantasy Star advertisement... anywhere.

They had a PAX booth that one time and that's pretty much a big piece of advertising these days since Adblock.

AIDA actually meant a TV advertisement.

TV isn't a very good way to advertise these days especially to the market that would play PSO2. The younger crowd doesn't watch much if any TV anymore because of Youtube, Netflix, and other on demand stuff. If you wanted to advertise, you'd need to put the ads on those types of services but there's still the inherit problem of adblock keeping said group from seeing the ads.
