@ktouktou Malheureusement le titre n'est pas prévu pour sorti en Occident.

Didn't a Fire Emblem game have a fan translation that was finished before the game even came out in NA?

I'll admit that I don't know much about this stuff. I think if there is a DGS translation, it'll have to be ported to iOS first like Dual Destinies

I'm probably just gonna hope dowolf does a translation

"No plans" doesn't mean "it's not gonna happen." It means "plans haven't been made as of yet." As I pointed out in the AA6 announcement thread, DGS and AA6 underwent development in Japan at the same time, so Capcom had to pick which one should be prioritized in terms of localization. If the localization team had been assigned to DGS, the western release of AA6 would be wayyyy behind Japan's release even if they pulled off a near-simultaneous release of DGS. Of course they would prioritize AA6 so that we can get a near-simultaneous release of that instead like we did with DD. And because AA6 is being prioritized, they're not going to make a final decision on whether to greenlight DGS or not until AA6 is already out.

Its chances still aren't great imo, but I feel like a lot of people are misunderstanding the process behind this sort of thing. Localization is a huge endeavor, it takes a lot of time, and Capcom's localization team(s) almost certainly don't have the resources to tackle two Ace Attorney games at once. Nothing that's been said today makes the prospect of a localized DGS any more grim than it was before, we just have a clearer understanding of why the possibility of a localized DGS hasn't been officially acknowledged yet.

I was under the assumption that Takumi's team and Yamazaki's team would be utilizing different localizers?

or they don't want a lot of angry fans to flood their e-mail with complaints.

Apparently Capcom France has changed it's stance from 'there's no plans to localize DGS' to 'we don't know if there are plans to localize DGS'.

Not to encourage false hopes, but I wonder what that means?

I feel like the best thing would be to boycott AA6 when it comes out.

Personally, I think a boycott is a really bad idea. I have a feeling that if Ace Attorney stops selling in the west, they'll most likely stop localizing any future games...

I don't even want to imagine the effort that would be required to fan-translate a 3DS game if it comes down to that. I'm really frustrated because I just kept holding out for good news on this front and I've hear really amazing things about this game. I really hope that this turns out to not be true...

I'll admit that I don't know much about this stuff. I think if there is a DGS translation, it'll have to be ported to iOS first like Dual Destinies

In hopes of trying to get this game localized i took a page out of the Earthbound fanbase's book and started spamming the Miiverse community with messages saying Bring it to America!

It most likely won't work and will probably get me banned from miiverse for a while but it's all i can think of.

isn't there a possible safe way to do that? a petition of some sorts or collect signatures?

It sure was funny when me and my friend were trying to find ways to fix the localization issue that might have popped up (yeah, great localization there guys, wow)



problem solved
