BTW, is there a kanji/kana switching option for the text like the PSP remakes of FF 1 & 2?

Spike420, the problem is that it DOES take Square Enix 6 months to a year to localize their games, like back in the SNES days. Look at the waiting period between some of their recent releases: Final Fantasy XII (7 months), Revenant Wings (7 months), Dragon Quest Swords (7 months), Rocket Slime (9 months), Dragon Quest Monsters Joker (10 months), Children of Mana (8 months), Dawn of Mana (5 months), Heroes of Mana (5 months), and so on.

Seriously, if I only had to wait two months for DQ4 to see a US release, I’d have nothing to complain about.

Lol 2 months is fine as long as a translation dosen’t take 6 months to a year like they did back in the snes days

I almost forgot the days of grinding in most of the NES RPGs.. nowadays I don’t complain about the game difficulty or length of game much since I much prefer a shorter game that I’m able to finish.. Definitely want this once it’s released in the US.

As for simultaneous release, that was the original plan for Lost Odyssey too, yet they failed to deliver and need the extra two months to finish the translation. It’s excruciating just to wait for my import copy for days, let alone a couple of months. I pray it gets to me before this weekend …

@EvilAkito: Agreed, especially since Square-Enix self publishes their games in the US.

Now Square needs to start creating complete English versions of their games and giving them simultaneous releases. The days of releasing games in Japan several months before everyone else are now over. Get with the times, Square!

With the game’s half-hidden/complete English text, I’ve no doubt the game will come to the US and/or the UK. As long as it is gets released in English, I’ll be buying it.
