In a perfect world that would be awesome, but in reality it wont happen. Most of the time Japanese devs do not work side by side with a translation team. Japan isn't very diverse, so their main priority is Japanese sales.



If the game is good and sells well, then they might decide to spend money on a foreign translation team. You have to remember that video games are high risk and the longer you spend making one, the more money you lose.

Well you forgot Korean, but who gives? It won't happen.

As a european I'm not waiting for some train simulator or some dating simulator games.. also beat games (dance dance revolution, dj max) doesn't tickle me... I admit it I suck at it, it's annoying.



And just adding some language pack doesn't satisfy all gamers.. there are lots of gamers that hates the moonspeak. The game needs to be dubbed.

While the game is being dubbed (english) it might lose the original dub (japanese) as in metal gear solid 4. Because the lack of space (memory)

Then you have the purist gamers or gamer with alot of curiosity that doesn't know japanese, they want the game with the japanese dub and english subs.

And think about it, not every game is dubbed as in Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid.

What you get is *****ty dubbed games without the original dub and that is something I don't wanna see

about why my mates at uk have no clue about jean d'arc game every time i mentioned it to them. does it have anything to do with the political backgrounds? just asking..

the reason why this was not released in the UK is because of historical reasons. the main character, Jeanne, is based on the historical figure Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc was a female commander who won several battles against the UK. She was executed by the British because she was "evil". Of course, a game that makes her look like a hero might have some political implications.



Man, i feel like such a nerd

Of course, you're right... and that's why the movie "The Messenger" was never released in the UK.



Oh wait, it was.



Please don't make stuff up.

well, i just thought it might be a possibility.



ah well, either ways, it was just a guess. It's not like I've actually asked people in the UK about this. like ultimax said, most people probably don't give a s*** about ancient conflicts.
