At this point, I don't even really care what the exact date is. Knowing that it'll be this year is more than enough for me!

On the other hand, I'm someone who likes to plan things. I want to plan around the release so that I don't have any plans when it comes out. I also want to make sure I'm somewhere with a good internet connection. Lastly, I'm planning on waiting for the DLC to come out and play it as one big game, so release dates get even more complicated when you factor that in.
I would have preferred to get a release date 2-3 months before the game was released, (at least the month that it was coming out) but since this is a "small", Digital Only game we probably will get 1 month of notice at the most.
Hopefully they bring out the DLC on day one in the West.
I used to have Sam Waterston as my avatar but photobucket added a watermark and also Law & Order has been cancelled for 10 years so it's time for me to move on.

If capcom has a solid reason for delaying the announcement, I can't imagine what it would be.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind waiting a few months (despite my excitement fueled impatience). My only issue is that I don't see why Capcom wouldn't give us a solid date. To me it makes more business sense to announce the release date. Under normal circumstances, a game company usually announces a release date, a placeholder page gets created on a distributor's site to market the game (and accept pre-orders), which allows new fans to 'discover' the game and allows the publisher to gauge the true size of the market.

I totally agree with you, I was just stating that I'm sure to some people this doesn't matter much. It does to me though.
I think they should always announce a release date at least two months in advance.

I'm guessing that the translations are still being made, possibly with some localizations as needed (like calling him Rip Van Winkle than... whoever the Japanese equivalent is). After that is done, and QA ensures that the code still works and nofew errors exist, then an official release date can be announced. Admittedly, I don't know all of the ins and outs of business, but I do know translations are frequently tricky.
I highly doubt that it isn't done by now, since the translation and localization (probably voice acting as well) was done simultaneously with the development of the game. My guess is that it's currently undergoing bug fixes, among other things.

Sorry for my bad english this time but most of you posting in this topic with 4-5 sentences so I can do that one. I can't wait for the translation in such games from capcom. Meanwhile the gk2 translation team is still in progress. Hoping they planned to announce for the release date.

Anyway, I would imagine Capcom want to finalise the translation/make sure that there aren't any major bugs or glitches before they announce a release date.

AAI had Deid Mann, it will forever be the worst for name puns. Hell its not even a pun in my accent that's just how you'd say it.

Hey, I loved Deid Mann!
From what I've seen so far of DD, I'm not worried at all. It's not like it was a worldwide release; the localization team is still getting at least 2 months extra time to work. But then again, I've never had any issues at all with the localization of any of the games. Even the games that I felt didn't have very good stories or which had plots which were very flawed had great localizations.

...But there are worse examples with AAI. I was more referring to the fact that the Yatagarasu and Hinohamaru (What the heck IS Hinohamaru anyway!? you lost a non-japanese understanding fan, ME, Capcom!) and Larry's japanese girlfriend. Look, I know he was bound to take the trip to Japan at some point but when you add everything together it just screams half-done translation. They left a dozen of the names untranslated! Yatagarasu could've become "The Shadow" or the "Illusium"
or whatever. It doesn't have to match the japanese word. Noodles became "burgers" in PW:AA FFS. It actually worked, I didn't suspect a thing when I read it.That's my fear. In AAI the localisation team half-assed it
but the old games used to have some really creative localisation, on par with the best of Nintendo's games! Looking at the latest batch of screenshots from GS5 it seems like they're doing it again. I see "Yokai", "Phineas 'Tanuki' Flich", "Tenma" 'friggin' "Taro". I mean C'MON Capcom, GET IN THE GAME! See, I can understand Yokai is some sort of popular thing in Japan right now and as I've understood it some also know of it overseas, so I can cope with that. But Tanuki?? Where did that come from? Is it just what his nickname is in Japanese...? I don't think western gamers unaware of the Japanese versions will catch up on that... and Tenma Taro is the worst IMO. Just call it the "Rawk Raven"
or something stupid like that. It's still better than NOT TRANSLATING it!

a: It SOUNDS like a good cool name for a criminal just like "the shadow"
b: It makes SENSE considering the three legs on the mythological Yatagarasu. Plus keeping it oriental sort of ties in with the semi-ninja thing Kay had going on.
c: It allows them to put a symbol to act as the Yatagarasu's calling card as...well "The Shadow" isn't really a concrete thing you can make a physical depiction of really.
So it's not that it wasn't translated...it's that it didn't NEED to be translated. The mythological bird component of the Yatagarasu (a three-legged crow...or Raven I forget) is actually necessary and makes sense to the plot.

And honestly, would you think it's necessary to localize the names in 5-2 when the setting pretty much gives it away it's Japanese?
And for the release date, wish that Capcom would tell us already but right now, I'm content.

but the old games used to have some really creative localisation, on par with the best of Nintendo's games! You do realize that "localization" isn't just about turning Eastern culture into Western culture that sort of fits, right? There's a limit to how effective it can be when the basis of a game is set in the heart of Japan. Things are changed only when it's difficult to maneuver with them otherwise; the team prefers to stay true to the Japanese whenever they can.
Fortunately, the Japanese versions give some room to explain certain concepts to players who don't understand, even if they are Japanese. Likewise, it gives the localization team room to maneuver, so they can give explanations for things that aren't easily translated. GS5 was created with localization in progress, and Eshiro has been the most active he's ever been with Capcom US and Europe teams.
...On that note, it most likely isn't just the bugs that are keeping the release date at bay. The localization should be completed by now. What remains a large uncertainty is the market.

Imagine you don't know a thing about Japanese... one such person would not know what Yatagarasu means whatsoever. To me it came across as "oh some kind of jackie-chan kung-fu kinda name" and it's the first time you ever hear something that sounds outright Japanese in Ace Attorney (aside from "ZVARRI" which still doesn't outright say "Suvari!"
Like folks' said it was explained in game what the mythological Yatagarasu is so it's not so much a big worry of folks not understanding it.

Oh, drats I didn't remember that. I still feel like Ace Attorney games lean more and more towards anime Cliche's nowadays than they used to... or maybe it's because Anime has changed from when the original trilogy was made. I still think the Yatagarasu should've been localised. They could've just come up with their own name.
But...why......they couldn't have come up with their own name...the three leggedness of the Yatagarasu is crucial.
It can be set in America and still acknowledge Japanese things after all...

Tenma Taro comes from another legend: the Four Great Tenma, demon-like spirits who are infamous for many evils, in short. One of them happens to look like a bird.
The term Yokai can be somewhat translated as "demon", but I ran into a little translating issue back when the screenshots were first released: in one of Jinxie's testimonies, she starts off simply stating the term "yokai", and it's not clear whether she meant one or many - until the next line, where she specified with "everywhere". And since this is a cultural setting, "yokai" fits in anyway.
Tanuki is the Japanese name for a raccoon dog. With his blacked eyes, Filch looks kind of like one. Tanuki are also rumored to be very sneaky or sly creatures who like to steal little things, and that's exactly what Filch is. I concede that they could have left him with "Raccoon", but he is still a villager and lives there.
I understand that Japanese terms can be rather confusing. If it's so difficult to remember certain names, try abbreviating them if you need and leave a note to those who don't understand. Since there are many more English speakers here than otherwise, it's not likely they'd get too confused anyhow.
...Two weeks. I give Capcom two weeks to pass along a release date. If they're aiming for October, they need to hurry up and dish out some more news. If it's November, it'll start getting a little too close to the Holiday period.

This whole issue still confuses me to no end. The missed marketing opportunities are astounding. Capcom has basically assured that they only want existing fans (who keep up with AA news) to buy the game.

There are two interesting things there:
- First he talks about the "upcoming" release of AA:DD and while it doesn't mean much, I think you wouldn't use upcoming for a title that is released in the far future.
- Second, this is the beginning of a series of short character introductions and I think this could act as a sort of countdown, at least it usually does.
Yeah... I'm kinda getting desperate here, but I just want the game so much.

If they're going through the same main cast the Japanese people did until the game released there's a couple more characters to go through.

I would be, but since I just started college I've got plenty of things to keep me busy. And on a more positive note, the new season of The Legend of Korra begins this friday.
Still, their silence is strange. I don't want them to rush anything and have the game suffer for it, obviously, but isn't it in their best interest to keep us informed?
