| This is s**t why does the UK always get pushed to the back, surely if a games been completed in american it cant be much effort to complete a UK version, its not as if anything needs to be done to the lip syncing animation!?!?
We always get treated like the less important consumer and it really needs sorting out. |

| I don't know the reason for the delay, all I can think of is that Tales of Vesparia wasn't optimised for translation from the drawingboard (as most games these days are) so when it comes to adding French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian and Portugese (and whatever other languages they're thinking of adding for the European release) it must be causing a few headaches.
Personally I'd love to see just a PAL version of U.S.-released games but I guess the publishers don't think it's cost-effective, plus we'd miss out on a lot of Europe exclusive content (enhanced difficulty levels, localised dialect, bugs removed from US version, etc) that a lot of games come with. |

This right here is so much bullsh*t, I and oh so many other english speaking europeans shouldn't have to be punished because of other countries being retarded by dubbing all their sh*t and not having good education so their population doesn't learn a language that everyone living in a first world country should know good enough to be able to play a game in english at the age of 12. |

| it's simply because it's not only screwing the Europeans (especially us in britain who pay higher prices than our US/Japan filled assholes).
It's not even region unlocked, which speaks volumes of a company so hardup for money, it's decided to leave european to last to generate demand and then **** us in the ass with the prices.
lets face it, europeans pay twice as much because we find it "normal".. it truly is a scum system. Hope bandai are the next vitims of the "recession", that'll make me truly smile... :) |

I don't think i've ever seen a game translated to Swedish and Norwegian, not even the games from DICE, Grin and Starbreeze (swedish gamestudios).
About Vesperia, Why do we always have to wait like a year more than US? does it really take that long time to translate a game from english? and when it gets released here we have to pay double. that just sucks |

| What i meant with my previous post:
Why does UK and Scandinavia always have to wait because the rest of Europe can't read a word english? and yes, the nordic countries knows english very well.
at least when it comes to reading.
come on, it's not that hard to learn. |

| Why can't they simply release a english version first? Let the non-english speaking europeans wait for their version, I really do not see why the rest of europe should be punished simply because some people are to lazy or "prude" to learn english.
Then we have the good old FFX, they used 1 year doing a crappy pal version with only english... seriously 1 year translating english into english. |

| Most American games I've worked on are translated into Spanish and French, as well as English. The only languages that European games get translated into are English, French, Italian, German, Spanish so in most cases only two more languages are required for a PAL release. Even with huge games, that translation doesn't take as long as you might expect either, certainly not 'years'.
Seriously, if Vesperia and Symphonia II aren't released in Europe by 2010, then I'm buying and NTSC 360 and Wii and importing them both, release dates be damned! |
