Well, I feel like a lesser Tales fan for not knowing that. Thanks for the information, though!

Now if they can only do a worldwide release. SE actually did that with Last Remnant.

wonder if this involved sony's 3rd party relation team at work.
Is not like they havent done that before, they did it with Vesperia.
Not enough people making fun of the name.
also sounds too much like Vesperia.
Damn, beaten.
Looks good anyway. Day 1 for me.

B-b-but open world gameplay automatically makes games good! Dark Souls!
My enthusiasm from earlier in the thread apparently worked everyone! I did it! It only took 15 minutes this time fantastic.
Amazing that they've already announced localization, we've come so far from Graces it's stellar.

title change is confusing. Its not worldwide release. Its just getting localized for the west.

Well, I'm so sorry. I try to be sensible, and I don't pretend to be an expert on Japanese culture. I definitely understand that I know very little and that you can't understand all that much about the culture from their entertainment. I didn't live there very long(only a few months) and that's why I have such limited knowledge. But everyone who lives in Japan tells me me that Japan has a very group based culture. And everyone who writes about Japan seems to say this same thing as well. I've also heard and read a lot about how social groups often become like "second families" from people who lived there far longer than me. So I tend to assume it's most likely that they have at least some truth to what they're saying.
Knowing that, that's my best hypothesis as to understanding why Japanese RPGs seem to be more focused on parties and group bonding. I could very well be incredibly wrong. But in trying to understand something, that's my best possible explanation. I don't claim to be an expert on Japanese culture. But I do think that trying to understand the differences in various cultures is a good thing.
Or maybe that wasn't meant as a criticism of me at all. And I was just being defense. If so, I'm sorry. I'm just so used to that being used as a criticism of me.
If anyone actually is a Japanese culture expert. Please do tell me how incredibly wrong I am when I make claims like this. I understand that I'm pretty ignorant about many cultures.
Glad to see localisation confirmed!
Ahhh sweet, Hideo Baba mentions at the end in that post that Xillia has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
We only need to beg for a quicker localization time now.

Which is a worldwide release...they never said worldwide launch.

Dreaming I know but I can still hope

"Worldwide release" has no timeframe information encoded in it whatsoever.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
To be honest, I really like this logo a lot.
Well, at least we don't have to wait an extra year/6 months for the localization announcement and the game coming out a year after (thus 2 year delay).

Yeah, but wouldn't Localization confirmed for NA/EU be better? No worries.
I quoted the tweet.
And both were because of Microsoft
Last time we heard about Xillia in Japan it was around 625-650k
That has the be one of the fastest localization announcements I've seen in a while....

Because beards are terrible.
Hmmm, so if around 1/3 of ToX's total sales are from the west that isn't too shabby.
Don't think MS has anything to do with it. SE was able to get Neir out for a worldwide release. At that point there were still plans for a PS3 Last Remnant

Awww yea! I've been waiting for this announcement for far too long. I can't wait!
Cool, I will add this to the OP.
Oh, you got it wrong, I was just trying to be funny, that's all. I actually agree with a lot of things you said.

And 2014, and 2015... I wouldn't be surprised to see a relevant release or two coming in 2016.

Neat that they announced a worldwide release so quickly. But the quote from the press release posted earlier implied it would be localized anyway.
Would be really surprised if it comes hits in 2014 outside Japan. I'm guessing late winter/spring 2015 unless Xillia 2 comes out earlier than expected.

Yes yesss
Late 2014 would be crazy, 2014 would turn out to be probably the craziest JRPG year in a looooong time
