A couple of weeks ago Phantasy Star Nova was announced for the PS Vita during Sony’s Japanese PlayStation conference. The game is set to release in 2014 and will be a mainly single player affair, though will feature four player online cooperative play.
However, if you want to get your hands on it then it looks like you’re going to have to import the title from Japan as, like Phantasy Star Online 2, Nova will not be releasing in Western markets, at least for the foreseeable future. Â This news comes from Sega Addicts who contacted the publisher regarding the release nature of Phantasy Star Nova.
Sega replied saying, “There are currently no plans to release Phantasy Star Nova in the western market. Should this change, we will ensure the information is shared as soon as possible.”
It’s a shame that the game won’t get a localised release in the West, because it looks like a title right up my street.

I am really starting to dislike Sega for not bringing games to the west. I hope the same isn’t true for Atlus now that they own them.

bloody hell, how frikkin lazy are they getting?
seriously, how dumb are sega?
people are so eager for the PSO game that they’ve have made their own translations of the game.
something sega apparently can’t be arsed to do.
first they cut content from a Yakuza game for what they say is cultural differences, though even helen keller could see it was to cut costs, and now they’ve literally got people begging for these games in the west and they’re sitting on their bloody arses.
i bet they’ll still be surprised if it gets pirated in the west.

Well, fuck you Sega.
I really can’t think of anything else to say to them in regards to their recent (lack of) localization efforts.

i think that first sentence sums it up perfectly. ^_^
