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!"

I'm perfectly happy with the Xbox 360 version, personally.
I'm also not from America, so well... you know... there's that.

Vesperia is one of my favorite Tales games, and I'm PISSED the PS3 version is still Japan only. A new character, new towns & dungeons, Flynn as a permanent party member, expanded story....way to make 360 owners feel like they only got half a game Bandai Namco.....

I'm pretty sure it's happened before where Microsoft has bought exclusive rights to games, only to have the exclusivity expire and then it pops up on the PS3. I just can't remember the name of the games...

Meh, I don't have or plan to have a 360, but I really don't care.

Sadly i doubt it will happen and i am a HARDCORE tales fan..Got stated in the PS1 days with Destiny 2/Eternia and even have it imported from england for PSP and the CE of multiple tales titles..And yeah sadly it is due to the exclusivity deal with microsoft still holding water here or some such.
