By: Evren On: 10:56 May 20th, 2008 Offline	...Yey. I dont even have a PSP for it anymore. But I guess I'll still get it, Im just pissed off over the time this took to get over to the EU. *shakes head* It's just insanity. It was meant to come out here in Nov, then was pushed to Dec, Then pushed to march, and now, this.

By: Dragonsoul On: 10:37 May 20th, 2008 Offline	I gotta feel for you guys, it really is craptacular how long it takes. Localization shouldn't be that long, IMO, although maybe I don't get the mechanics as to why it does. Still, happy for ya!

What most gamers don't realise is that they have to translate it in a number of different languages for the European market, not just English. In the case of games such as these, where dialogue and text are heavy, it can take a long time. It sucks, but its more financially viable to do it this way.

Oh, we realise thankyou very much, but what gamers in the UK dont see, is why we have to wait for the other countries in the EU, when we're only part of it in writing. Most of the languages IN the EU are not spoken in the UK, So generally, it would be feasable to release both the US and the UK one at the same time. And with games companies saying the UK is one of the hearts of gaming, (Not the freaking EU) I think we deserve better than this.
By: Savior of the Damned On: 05:56 May 21st, 2008 Offline	I agree with you, Game sales are Higher in the Uk than any other EU country

And other such simultanious/close releases? I can understand waiting a bit due to tanslating, but there is NO excuse for how long it is this time.
By: Laylia On: 02:51 May 21st, 2008 Offline	Quick question: Is the pre-order special edition (with the art book) only for us European peeps? You know, a belated present from Square Enix.
By: Savior of the Damned On: 02:59 May 21st, 2008 Offline	I believe so yes :)
By: Kelz On: 04:30 May 21st, 2008 Offline	I dunno, but I saw the sign for the art book going with the pre order here. (NZ)
