Letter from the Producer, XIX (09/27/2011)

I can imgine its thier locale first, but to be fair most Japanese games are released in the US first because the japanese also use NTSC, also they only need to localise them to english whereas for the EU they need to localise them for most languages spoken.

I know I probably sound like I am contradicting myself coming up with reasons they are released earlier in US.

Also how could my sarcasm derail this thread so badly?

Y'know.... I'm 26 years old and not once did I ever stop to think that EU games took longer to release due to also needing french, german, italian, spanish and all those other languages...

Seriously... I'm gonna facedesk myself a few times for never even realising that.

You know it makes alot of sense a Japanese game company will think "ok lets get this translated into english to get it out in america to make money faster, then translate it to the other languages for europe because it has been such a huge success in Japan, we can lower production costs even more by putting Itallian, Spanish, French, German etc on the same disk"

Its all about money nothing else, if they can make $50 million over night by releasing in the US, rather than wait to translate the whole game into other languages, lets not forget the other languages need differant voice actors that make it take alot longer to translate.

This seems to be somthing thats close to you, the way you keep commenting, when I even said it was sarcasm.
