Dragon quest 7 3ds localization chances

[mistydolphin 25]

Last year they released a remake of one of my all time favorite ps1 games for the 3ds in japan. But theyre saying it might not be worth the cost of translating. What kind of bull**** is that??? i dont know... what do you think the chances of them releasing it outside of japan are?

“In terms of DQVII, it has a lot of text to go through and translate,” Fujimoto said, “and we’ve received so many requests and so much positive feedback about the game, but unfortunately, we have to consider the cost and the manpower needed to handle the sheer load of text. In terms of scenario and script, the game is probably one of the largest in the DQ franchise. If a lot of people can buy it and support it… well, we can’t promise anything.”

 

“From Dragon Quest VIII and beyond, we’ve revamped the translation,” Fujimoto explained. “For example, we’ve added regional twangs like those from Baltic regions sounding Russian and things like that. We’ve also updated the spells and monster names, so any classic titles we revisit, we want to say consistent. That being said, when we go back and update the classic titles, we make these changes. That’s another step in the process.”

 

“Going back to people who want DQVII to come out… we’ve gotten a lot of requests, we really want to do it, but right now, we need to hammer out what kind of resources we’d need to do it. We say this a lot, but, we can’t seem to get to the point where it’s justifiable.”

Enix games aren't released digitally or for emulation.

And yet they have all the ps1  finalfantasy games on psn. heres what a smart company would do: put dw7 on psn, then if enough people show an interest, then make an effort toput out the remake.

I'm talking about Enix games, not Square Soft games.

 

Yeah, like that will work. Because everyone with a PS3 or Vita has a 3DS.

I give up. Oh, and like they didnt make an assumption like that with a lot of the kingdom hearts handhelds? im just lucky i DID have each, or i wouldnt have been able to play them.
