On XSEED's facebook page, a fan asked whether a Rune Factory 4 release in Europe was really impossible, and here's their answer :
NB: XSEED is the US publisher, and they're actually a subsidiary of Marvelous AQL.
So guess that confirms what many people said when the cancellation as announced. I'm honestly surprised you need people really familiar with the code if you want to release it in another region.
Region-lock my life and lock if old.
Wish it was that easy as obviously everyone involved in the project would love to see it released in Europe, but it's very difficult from a technical aspect since the people closest to the code are all gone (the Forbidden Magna team does have people from Neverland, yes, but for example the main programmer for RF4 is not one of them).
