My dream localisation used to be KH 1 final mix and KH 2 FM+ but square made em happen!
Now I'd say Ni no Kuni DS. That one has a full fan translation patch in Spanish already and the English patch is nearly done. After they finish play testing I need to figure out how to rip my cart and apply the patch. It should be glorious.
(I don't see an official localisation of the ds version happening so fan translation is where it's at)

So many Sega RPGs
Sakura Wars, Shining Force 3, Shining Force Feather, Segagaga, Valkyria Chronicles 3, Puyo Chronicles
If I had to pick, I guess I'd want Feather to get a translation.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out!

I know everyone says this, but I am considering signing up for JP classes + doing self study as a new year's goal in 2018.
Mostly for games that take a year or so to be translated, but also because I watch a lot of Japanese film and it'd be cool to not need subtitles. Plus, I am probably missing stuff through translation. I realized that 95% of my gaming library is Japanese and for a lot of those games I had to wait quite a while to be able to buy them.
I know it'll take years to even be able to play a game, but learning a language sounds like a cool hobby to have.

Yep, Sakura Wars 1-4.
Also Live a live, Mother 3, Tengai Makyou 4th Apocalypse.
This too.
Weird game.

Wizardry: Town of Forsaken Spirits.
There's a translated script, which is likely the best one can hope for, due to the nature of the game.

Growlanser 1 PSP would be nice. I think nearly everything else has either gotten localized, gotten a fan translation, out has one in progress. That one only has a script for the PS1 version and no patch.
Zero and Ao no Kiseki would probably still be nice to have official releases for as opposed to fan translations, but it isn't hard to see why it's unlikely.

Definitely Zero and Ao no Kiseki. The good news is that theres a very good chance well get fantranslations for both considering how far along both projects are. I hope and believe theyll get official localizations, though.
We got one this year and I wouldnt be too surprised if they kept localizing them for SEA.

Growlanser VI never got translated either.

(If you couldn't guess from my avatar)
I know this has a fairly good anime adaptation as visual novels go, but I was especially unsatisfied by how rushed the entire ending section of the series was, and I want to know what really went down. I need my scientific explanations!
Sadly the only way I see this getting localized is if it gets a port to something that's not Vita. With a sequel coming out (allegedly) next Spring, I would hope they consider it, but I'm not getting my hopes up. A Switch port would be nice since they teased the sequel may come to Switch.

What's wrong with the Suikoden 2 localization? (I haven't played it)
Great to see people talking about Moon and Serial Experiments.
I'd like to import Serial Experiments Lain in particular, but it's tremendously expensive on Ebay. Are those prices even accurate to what it goes for within Japan?
Glad to hear they're still working on that. I still remember getting the DS version with the wizard tome from Amazon for 16 USD(!). Unfortunately I can't read nearly as much Spanish as I thought I could, so I am still waiting to play this one, lol.
Pretty much everything that can go wrong with a localisation went wrong with Suikoden 2
- Poor grammar (So... Many.... Exclamation.... Marks!!!),
- Mistranslated words (Circuet/Circlet),
- Untranslated text,
- Lack of 'voice' (Personality was traded for excessive punctuation marks.),
- Major character's name changing spelling throughout the game (Jowy/Joei),
- Etc.

Pretty much all of the unlocalized mothership Tales games, particularly Rebirth and Destiny DC.

There's a couple games from the Fire Emblem franchise that a LOT of people want localized, especially after Shadows of Valentia launched and was well received (to my knowledge).
the new final fantasy and dragon quest itadaki street special that is coming out next month in japan.
I will get it regardless and even force myself to learn enough japanese to play it. but I would love an actual english version of it.
I still figure a simple localization leaving the voices in japanese but translating the other elements of the game shouldn't be that expensive, and that the two IPs alone would be enough to sell enough copies to make a profit, but it still seems unlikely SE will localize it at this point.

I want everyone to play My Summer Holiday 3 (Boku no Natsuyasumi 3).
I came in here to say this too. The game is magic.
Hmm~ To name a few:
Little Princess 2 - PS1
Angel's Present: Story of Marl Kingdom - PS2
Princess Crown - Saturn
Zero no Kiseki & Ao no Kiseki - PSP
Suikogaiden 1 & 2 - PS1
Growlanser 1 - PS1/PSP
Growlanser 6 - PS2
Dai Gyakuten Saiban 1 & 2 - 3DS
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment - PSP
Devil Summoner - Saturn
Shin Megami Tensei If... - PS1
Shining Force III Scenario 1, 2, and 3 - Saturn
Opinions are my own haha

To elaborate:
Fire Emblems 1-6 and 12 were not localized. Aside from 5, all of those games have decent-to-good fan translations.
Fire Emblem 5 (also known as Thracia 776) has two fan translations: one that translates most of the game, but has questionable quality, and another translation that translates the UI and menus very well, but doesn't touch anything else (like dialogue).
The guy who directed FE 1-5 left IntSys after FE5, and created his own, similar, series. These are known as the "Saga" games: Tear Ring Saga, Berwick Saga, and Vestaria Saga, none of which has an English localization. There's a fan translation for TRS I think, and it's been announced that Vestaria Saga will get a localization in due time, but I don't think Berwick Saga has any translation.
Obviously, I'd like official localizations of all of those games. But Thracia 776 and Berwick Saga needsa localizations the most.

Zero/Ao no Kiseki are top priority for me now, since i'm 100% sure sen 3 is coming
There are so many unfortunately. I guess to give new answers (Yakuza, Dragon Quest XI, Phantasy Star Online 2, and Seiken Densetsu 3 have been taken):
1. Ganbare Goemon 3 (Super Famicom)
The only Ganbare Goemon I haven't really at least dabbled in.
2. Rhapsody of Zephyr (PC)
A great-looking Korean strategy rpg from 1998.
Neither of these has received so much as a machine-based fan translation.

Yakuza Ishin is the one set in Meiji-era Kyoto, right? Came out right when the PS4 did? Would it make a good introduction to the Yakuza series for someone who has never played one?
This one right here. They gave us the half-hearted Azure Rvolution, but not this?
Well besides the obvious choices of Yakuza Kenzan and Yakuza Ishin these are the ones that come first in my mind:
Valkyria Chronicles 3
.

Good localizations of Arcturus, War of Genesis I through III, Astonishia Story, and Rhapsody of Zephyr have been overdue for a long time. I suspect we'll have fan translations for them at some point, but Korean CRPGs just don't get enough attention and Korean fan translators in this scene are rare.

Nowadays it's Ishin, though these threads make me sad and the list only bigger.
I barely know what is what in the pool of unlocalised Goemon games that I've looked up, but I remember seeing an unlocalized Link to the Past clone I would have loved to play.

Yep. This would be my first choice. Seiken 3 a close second.
Y'all sure are into Isshin, huh? It's not bad but I liked 0 better.
For me, I guess it would have to be something in a language I don't understand, but I'm blanking right now. Maybe "Eojjeonji Joheun Il-i Saenggil Geot Gateun Jeonyeok", that one Korean beat-em-up that's pretty well liked, or something exclusive to Europe or something

Shining Resonance is one I own and played a bit of, the combat is pretty enjoyable so I was quite sad (but not surprised) that Sega never did anything with it. I would just play through it, but the character interactions seem to be related to the true ending and trying to do those without being to able read them or save scum them is just too much.
Yup! Though would be nice to have them in an official capacity
Similar to Shining Force 3 (scenario 1, 2, and 3) and Ace Attorney Investigations 2 haha

This. Or tales of Destiny 2
All of the War of Genesis games. Those games are obscure Korean PC RPG games and the third one sold a lot when it came out. It even won a price and not a lot of single player games earn that price in South Korea.
The first game and the first spinoff called The Rhapsody of Zephyr were localized in Japanese, so I could play those two. But I really, really want to play the the second and third game. Ive read the story and its so good that its a pity the games arent available in English...
