When there is an asian release like this, who exactly does the English translation? Is it good English? Will the US version when it is released have a different English translation?

Are you sure guys that the Chinese version and the Korean version are different?
What's the point of make 2 version of a game that come out the same day?

Seriously, I thought I wouldn't import a game again, but if the Korean version of Blue Dragaon has an English language feature - and is region-free - I'm there.

Man I'm extremely tempted to buy it if it is indeed region free... the only reason i would wait is to help with the sales here in the US. (Yeah i know its just one copy but still)

I still don't understand why the "Chinese" asian version shouldn't be region free, it also contains the Korean dub.

Anyone got experience with YesAsia?

That's the problem, the JAPAN version isn't region free:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-1m86.html
The asian JAPAN version aswell not:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-ej-49-en-70-1oht.html

Today they released a second asian version, with Japanese and Korean voice over + English and Chinese subtitles, it should be identical with the asian korean version content wise but no intel yet if this is the same version as the korean one:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-ej-49-en-70-1z2l.html

Also Play-Asia says this version isn't region free (which isn't always correct). So we have to wait till the first gaffers get their copies to confirm it.

Why wouldn't they region lock it? Microsoft has to know as soon as word leaks that the asian version is region free (if true), this news will show up at every major website and blog, and all the hardcore will import it, the very same market this game is geared towards. I don't know. I want it to be region free though. I'll buy it twice, I promise.

No idea who decides if a game goes locked or not, but there are quite a few rf games out:

Got my copy today for 69.90 SGD, which roughly translates into 45 USD. The best part about it is that it came with all 6 figurines :D Really good deal

Crackdown came out about the same time in all markets... we are talking here about a highly anticipated game for the US market that is coming out months in advance... not a Crackdown-type situation at all.

For those of us who are import ignorant, let me see if I have this right; if we import the Korean version we can play it on a NA 360 in English, right now, for cheaper than it will be in August? Is this correct?

Apparantly, yes. But that all depends on if the Korean version is in fact region-free. Some people on the net are allegedly confirming this (see several posts above), but it's still kind of a "?" right now.

region code: 0xFFFFFFFF would have been region free.
