bad gameplay lol
Locked in my preorder a couple days ago. Gotta go retail for this. I can't imagine it's going to be easy to find six months down the road.

I just realized, we get Hatsune Miku in English, on retail, and not Yakuza 5??
...I always hated you Hatsune Miku fans, with your shifty eyes and your blue hair.

The thing is, the western market for Miku is unexplored territory for Sega. It could sell fine, amazingly or horrible. Depending on that, this could be our only game or we could get consistent localisation of future Miku games.
Yakuza has had several games to gain a foothold in the west, but from the few posts I've picked up on around here it didn't seem to do incredibly well. Probably well enough to make the endeavour worth it, but maybe Sega's decided to dedicate resources elsewhere to take a gamble with a possible better payout?

Will anyone be at SDCC next week? We've got some goodies to pass out if you are...
Not me (sadly), but perhaps some can be saved for a future Free Stuff Friday on Twitter?Will anyone be at SDCC next week? We've got some goodies to pass out if you are...
Miku audience is huge, those concerts sold out instantly on American shores. If Yakuza is so worth localizing, where is its concert? Boom, roasted

It's all good - both games are great in my opinion, and each series has a strong following, so no need to have the fanbases fighting each other. In the end, we're all fans of certain games and we just want to be able to enjoy them.
Zonic - Yes, I think that perhaps this can be arranged!
ESRB listing shows that the game may be getting localized on the Vita as well: http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsi...=Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F &searchkeyword=
HHHNNNNGGGGHHHHHH!
Awww yeah.
This would be nice, but I can't see it happening. :/
Why not? I don't think it'd work well if they sell both and the (probably) later released version has less content.

Lets buy 10 copies each so sega can afford to bring Y5 over. In a way we're kickstarting Y5 localization.

aren't they just covering their bases to release the vita version should they need more ? ( sales )

My wife and I attended Crypton Future Media's panel at AX this year, and I think a Project Diva game finally getting localized has a lot to do with English Miku releasing later this year. The panelist spent a lot of time discussing the things they'd like to do with her in the West, and I think it makes sense pushing for more exposure for her in the Western markets at this time. We'll be buying it for sure, day one.
In fact i'm wrong, they're not bringing Yakuza 5 over *yet*....there's still hope...kinda....It's a big game.
Man, those Corolla commercials didn't work at all.

Talked to the producer this weekend at SF Jpop Summit and he said they are definitely listening for this request in consideration. Let's get that tweet machine rolling...
It has them too and a few songs with them. You can use any of the characters in any costumes on any song but the song itself doesn't change for them.
Don't own a PS3 right now, so I'm definitely in the "would like a Vita release" camp myself. Though, to be fair, I'd prefer it on the Vita regardless, given how well this game lends itself to playing on short burtsts of time when commuting and what not.
Here's hoping the PS3 version does well though, so that SEGA might think about trying their luck with the Vita. That and, of course, so that we can get Diva F 2nd in the future.

Wow, US-only? Why, it's not as though it's a physical item. Surely it can't be that difficult to give us in Canada a few codes too.GameStop (US only) pre-order bonus announced:
I'm still purchasing it, but I am slightly saddened.
Edit - I'm almost tempted to cancel my EBGames.ca pre-order and import from Gamestop.com. If it were just the costume I could maybe say "no" [although it IS Snow Miku...], but I desperately need a new theme for my PS3, and that one would definitely be appreciated/used.

Easy answer to that one: the PlayStation Network, since they're the only retailer carrying the game.
Price point plz, I'll probably buy it if it's £20 or less. I suspect they're going to stick a £30 price tag on it, however.
Apparently Canada [at least, at EBGames] will be receiving the pre-order bonus as well!
