S&S News: Tales staff “is very limited,” so it’s “not possible” to localize every title for the west, says Baba
Speaking in an interview with Siliconera, Baba said instead, localization priority is given to flagship titles, so don’t expect English language versions of Tales of Hearts R or Tales of Innocence R any time soon, unfortunately.
“When considering which titles can be localized to be released in the Western market, our first priority are the flagship titles, such as Tales of Xillia,” said Baba. “After that, our second priority are remake titles or all-star titles.
“Because the number of development members we have on staff is very limited, it’s not possible to localize every single Tales title. So we have to pick and choose when deciding which parts of the Tales series we would like to bring out to the rest of the world outside Japan.”
The next titles in the series to head west are Tales of Symphonia Chronicles and Tales of Xillia 2 in 2014.
I'm still sort of confused about how this works. I figure I won't really know how it works until I get on the system and start messing with everything haha. Someone told me you can only play games if you're signed in as yourself on the other person's console =\, which would really sort of suck since sharing would become quite difficult.
ReplyDeleteYeah no more sharing like we do on PS3.
