Did you bother to read the OP? The game IS NOT getting localized in US and EU territories.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Goddammit, who the fuck bumped this?
FUCK.
Did you bother to read the post? He wrote that back in October 2011, and he's banned anyway.

They should had never moved the series to the PSP and went anime and then attempted to backtrack.

Hey, I would've liked to have the game itself too. I'm just saying it's better than nothing.
200k? On PSP/Vita and PSN only?
lol.
Their best bet is a PS3 remaster. Better if it's on the Vita as well.
Hahaha what. No.

lalalalalaa 200k
I didn't even know this was localized so in a way this bump was worth something.
Feels bad remembering this will never come
Drumming up the hype for this game would be EASY, especially considering how crazed the fanbase is. Hell, BattleBlock sold 100k in the first week. If sega would put the time and effort into really communicating with the fanbase and get the people who care roused and primed, 200k in the first 3 months would be easy. Price it at 15. Hell price it at 20, people will pay.
But of course, it's Sega, so they NEVER WILL. Moreover, they won't even try.
::sigh:: It's so dumb. Plenty of avenues to go down and they just stand their in the middle of the road, wondering why their crap doesn't sell.
Sorry if the bump was misleading, folks. I chose a thread that clearly had "no US/EU release" in the title rather than one that implied some kind of hope just so that people wouldn't start hoping, but...
And Maverick, let me thank you and Udon for sticking with this project and going out of your way for completing something so niche. I loved this game and was anxiously awaiting an English translation; your book is the next best thing. I have all your previous efforts, plus the Japanese originals, and have loved them all. Udon could easily have not done this book and left English-reading fans with nothing VC3-related at all. I hope you sell hundreds of thousands of copies.

Trust me, even if they did put in the effort, they're not going to drum up 200k worth of sales on the PSP/Vita and doubly so with a digital only release. JRPGs don't have that pull.
This bump...
Dunan needs to get an eternal tag of fucking shame for this.
At least the fan-translation is making somewhat progress. I'm... kind of disappointed I essentially have to resort to fan-translations for shit like Ace Attorney Investigations 2, FF Type-0, and this, though... But that's beside the point.

Oh no, they'd have to make it playable on PS3.
Is there a single Vita game that's sold over 100k yet?

Monster install base on 360 for Buttholeblock Theater though. Did it even release on PS3? I imagine it did, but...yeah they're planets ahead of the Viter.
They seem to be writing the book on it.
I'd be all over this normally, but having no actual connection to the game itself makes it feel a bit hollow. I have the previous two art books, a lot of enjoyment comes from reading through details and descriptions while thinking back on experiences within the games themselves.
Big fan of the character artist, hope he does more games and they get localized.

Worst bump ever.
OK, all this hatred for my bump has got to stop.
We all knew a long time ago that this game wasn't getting translated.
And nobody would have been very surprised if the artbook had never been translated, particularly after delays were announced.
And today, more than two years after the game was initially released, and its platform now no longer in production, Udon goes the extra mile and finally releases a book translation that might well lose them money. All for us diehard fans.
This post could well have been "bad news; the artbook got canned too; Udon ran out of money". But they stuck it out and they released it -- and at a massive discount, to boot! After placing my order seven months ago, I was pretty happy to see that e-mail in my box today.
With this book in hand, the original game might now be playable to someone with only rudimentary Japanese, or maybe with no Japanese at all. There will be chapter-by-chapter dialog and plot synopsis info; character names; everything we got to enjoy in the first two books.
If you've got the Japanese game sitting on your shelf but gave up on it, give it another shot with this book at your side. If you gave up on ever trying to play it, read this book and give it another shot.
My post certainly didn't take this game away from anyone. Now go to Amazon, and buy this thing if you haven't.

Isn't there a fan translation project to give us hope?
Because your caring is super-important.

You really double-killed that corpse, Dunan.
Operation Rainfall was always about three games on the Wii that were being localized in Europe, but not North America. It was a campaign to rally against Nintendo of America being stupid.
They could've added additional games (and they do have the campaign hub) but I got the feeling they're very interested in Nintendo software.
I'm not even 100% sure it would bring in $200k in revenue.
Why? Why bump this?
This bump disgusts me, it almost killed my day. 
My Amazon order shipped too, actually. For some reason my order was actually already prepared on the 12th but stayed in the same fucking state for four days. At least now it should be moving to me.
Whoever gets it first should make a new thread for it in Gaming, assuming you're down. My estimated arrival date is the 22nd, but I've gotten lucky before.

Thread named '' SEGA: No US/EU Release for Valkyria Chronicles 3'' gets bumped in 2013 and people really expected something? :lol
Just chill. The fan translation seems to be coming along ok. This is one of those games I wouldn't be too worried about.
