Looks like I'll actually get to play this in English!

... and I was thinking about buying a Western 3DS to do so.

I hope I can do it in English in a New Game Plus-esque mode.

I LOVED this game so much.

Looking through the site more, they really added a lot of stuff, including:

-English and Japanese voices (your choice)
-Improved town graphics (lots of stuff added in or refined)
-Adjustable encounter rate (how many JRPGs have this?)
-Refinements of chapters 7 and 8

In total, nearly 100 improvements have been made.

Holy crap, they can't justify NOT releasing that version in EU now that it's not just a longer story. Please, please SE. For once, please do us the gesture.

It's a no-brainer that this is what we're getting in PAL/US territories. The languages give it away, there's absolutely no reason why they would put all those languages/English voices into the cart if it wasn't a "back translation" of the improved international release into Japanese.

Doesn't Square Enix do this a lot anyway? I recall FFX being improved on it's PAL/US release and then getting the same treatment in Japan as FFX International while having English voices and language on there too.

I'm glad it supports old save files. Might import my current one into that game when it comes out.

Then again, I'll probably be done with the game by that point....

I'm so getting a Japanese 3DS if I can get a job by then...It's good that the game has so many languages options:)))And DQVII and perhaps DQM1Remake.

:p

But the horrible title......
Can we mke this the new flagship SE series please? Since console game sales are dying in Japan, let's create a new handheld series.

Are we sure this isn't being localized in-house? Looks beautiful! Graphical improvements are noticeable and appreciated.

Yeah, FFX pal version was based on the 'international' ver if I recall correctly (JP > NA > JPInt > PAL). Typically though (4, 7) haven't the US ver had some improvements/additions over the original release that then goes into the 'international' rerelease?

Another major thing (that I mentioned on the first page in a different post) is this version uses the battle system from the sequel that is currently in development. I am not sure if the localised version will include this or the original battle system, but it should (hopefully) include all of the other improvements.

This reminds me of Inazuma Eleven. The European version used the game engine from the second game (this means no Professor Layton battle, but it does have data for all the Inazuma Eleven 2 characters...).

Assuming something similar going on here (using the most complete build for localisation) then the European version will also get the improved battle engine.

So NOA will delay it to 2014 when all localization is done just for the heck of it ( I know marketing -_-) ? Great even Japan will get english version before US lol.

For the sequel, lol! You know what Square, at least you're being upfront about it. Keep it up! I still want to play since I've heard good things about it.

I need it. If it has multi language and all this stuff then they have no excuse to not put it in the NA/EUR versions.

I'm hyped.

Usually it was JP -> NA -> PAL -> JPInt

There was sometimes but not always content added for NA (depends on the release time), PAL stuff usually had significant delays and got extra content (the wait and bonus content both have TVtropes entries) and the JPInt versions were the PAL versions translated back into Japanese usually with a few extra features added.

Nintendo has a reputation for consistently delivering the best localizations in the biz, so not sure from where that half of your distrust stems. :p

Probably the fact that operation rainfall had to exist for certain titles to be considered for the US might be it.

NoA probably wants the 3DS lineup to looks as nice as it does this year for 2014. Thats the only logical reason for the delay

BDFF was already confirmed, though. And this isn't even a Nintendo game, so... the comparison doesn't really work.

I wasn't addressing anything about BD anyways, so that doesn't really stop someone from losing faith in a company from past failures either when they were so recent.

Nintendo's localizations are good, but their track record for publishing is not. It wouldn't have surprised me at all of they didn't bother with For the Sequel and just stuck with the vanilla game if that was easier for them, especially after how SE has treated international/final mix releases of their games since the PS2 era.

I'm glad it is delayed for 2014 personally. 3DS lineup is filled with must have games for me that I will spend a lot of time on. AA5, Pokémon X/Y, & ALBW. And then I still didn't play SMTIV and other games.

This is mixing up unrelated issues though. The problems with Nintendo's approach have to do with them skipping titles that by all rights should have been localized. Anything that Nintendo ever does publish in the West is impeccably localized, however. I can't think of a single example in their history where Nintendo has brought out a gimped version of a Japanese title.

The big worry here -- and it was a serious worry -- was that both Nintendo and Square-Enix would choose to skip over this title completely. But once it was announced, we could feel pretty safe knowing that it would be treated well.

Kind of a shame, actually, since BD's apparently otaku-ish script sounds like the perfect fit for 8-4's style.

I suspect 8-4 is working on something else they might be a good fit for.

DQMJ2 was sorta gimped IIRC. Though I think SE and Nintendo take joint credit for that one.

Daaaamn, multiple text languages even in the Japanese release...I'm so glad I "waited" to pick it up. Now I just gotta wait some more until Dec. 5th.

It would be neat if (MAJOR ENDGAME SPOILERS)
after you complete the game they modify the title screen again so it becomes Bravely Default Or The Sequel and you get a trailer.
