I just joined the 3DS family, because my GF bought me one for my birthday...
And it's an EU one... Fuck region locking

Yeah, thats what I meant. I had a brain fart and included the US twice
Why can't Nintendo let the publisher change the flag on the US version to allow it to run on PAL 3DS. I'm used to how the 360 handled region locking which was surprisingly flexible in allowing certain niche games to be region free or dual region.
Anyway if the dev went bust surely someone owns the rights to the game? Does anyone know who this is? Maybe we can change their mind since surely a debtor would be interested in clawing back some of the money they are owed.
Nah the irrelevant bit was about Japan. It seems every thread like this some smart person comes in and cleverly points out that hardly any people outside Japan can speak Japanese so why are we angry about region lock, lol.
First Rune Factory, next SMT4, hell, why not Persona Q so you don't get our hopes up?
Been wondering about this too. If Nintendo really is determined to keep region lock even against popular opinion, maybe they should just go the 360 route where it is up to the publisher. Nintendo can keep their own games region locked, if Square Enix wants their game to be playable in any region, let them.
Didn't some one say that their reason for implementing region lock was so that they can control the price? I say leave it up to the publishers' own discretion then.
Ah, I see. Never mind then. Guess there is no "work around" other than the complete removal of the region locking because otherwise, some region will still get screwed over.From the experience on the 360, what happens here is that these niche games that are published by one company in the US and then get picked up by another for Europe are the ones that get region locked anyway, so it wouldn't solve anything.
Trust me. I waited long and hard for Deadly Premonition because of this.
Yeah, since Tecmo Koei teamed up with them they've been solid. Not surprising though as tecmo koei themselves have always done a decent job.NISA is most likely to do Persona Q, so that will be fine. They are pretty much the only one to keep a schedule and actually not completely forget Europe
The amount of times I've read this. It infuriates me. They may as well just say 'It doesn't affect me so I don't give a shit' instead of pretending there isn't a problem
TI've got every HM and RF game released since FoMT and this'll be the first that I cannot play.
At this point i'll skip any region locked console..
Tired of this shit, considering all the water under the bridge..
Ownership is fine, Marvelous owns the IP and was going to publish themselves in Europe and did via XSEED in the US as they own them too. But Neverland may've had the code or at least the people who knew how to work with that and so that could've screwed up bringing it out to Europe in a timely fashion.Why can't Nintendo let the publisher change the flag on the US version to allow it to run on PAL 3DS.

By NOE you mean customer services? They have a list of stock answers and that is basically all they can say (in the UK they are also really bad at working them into a paragraph so just paste each sentence one at a time so it makes less sense)NOE just told me "This may be released at a future date, although as of yet Nintendo has no official announcement at this time. "
I regret getting a PAL 3DS ever since FE:A launched 2 months after US.
Nintendo, you suck. You deserve to tank

It should be on the eShop in North America and will be $40 on there. If you are using a non-US credit card you'll have to set your 3DS country to Canada though (or buy some USA eShop money at horrible markup).I'm not from Europe but I've been looking for this game everywhere in my country. The game shops that I've been to were previously unsure if they'd be getting anymore stock. But just today one of the guys from the store informed me that won't ever be selling RF4 anymore. /seriously crushed
Was thinking of buying it from amazon since my 3DS is essentially a US one anyway but the prices for the game are insane.
At least you guys are actually getting that game, and basically all games released in English. Europeans just get screwed.

If you prefer physical games and the ability to resell you might want to pay more for a cartridge copy (figure out how easy it is to sell, if after selling it you're paying more than $40 then consider the eShop).
