I'm posting this on behalf of a friend, who just signed up for an account here, but apparently can't post topics with links yet:
"Hey everyone, a friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this forum to share this link to a Facebook page I created with the sole purpose of driving the Japanese-exclusive PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia to Western shores:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Localize ... 6231152861
I am aware that it's a long shot, and that a similar effort has been done on Facebook once before, but learning that Microsoft bribed Namco to maintain exclusivity to the Xbox 360 infuriated me enough that I though it was worth giving the campaign another shot. I plan to do things the other page failed to do to raise awareness as well and maybe some anger towards Bandai Namco; for instance, I've pinned an image of the box art that was created specifically for the North American version of the localized version (meaning it was GOING to happen at one point). Once we have enough people, I'll orchestrate a time to send letters to Bandai Namco; if they receive enough all at once, it might be enough to convince them to change their minds. I'll also share music and other fun Vesperia-related bits from time to time. If you're interested, give the page a like and spread the word. Thanks!"
