How many do all the people in "RomUlation & the countless fan translation communities" who are FM fans amount to? A thousand? Five thousand if were being generous? What makes you think that's remotely enough of a number to convince SE to spend money to localize FM5? And that includes dubbing the spoken dialogue because believe it or not some people don't like to read subtitles during cutscenes. Now let's look at this "anticipating audience" you mention. Do you think these kids can play a Front Mission game? Transformers only gets by because of nostalgia and MOSTLY because it targets kids who buy the toys like crazy. Neither game sold enough copies to qualify for Sony's Greatest Hits line.Īnd like it or not, mecha is still a niche genre outside of Japan. FM3 & 4 were never best sellers despite positive reviews from western gaming press. This great news and all, but that's a very naive way of looking at it, Cahos.įirst of all, it's not "bull plop" that SE doesn't see a big market for FM5.
