So...what's up with the Japanese language & multi language systems they get over there?
Is putting in multiple languages really that much more expensive? Or put another way, why do they get a 330$ version for those who only speak Japanese? The language restriction must be just so people don't export them... was there a scalping problem?
It's ostensibly to stop the huge scalping and reselling problem here. Also, then yen is kinda shit right now.
Foreigner in Japan groups are pretty pissed since it's not currently clear that, if you have a Japanese account but also a foreign one, whether you won't even be able to connect your other account (i.e. lose access to all your old games). Anything that relies on system language to determine game language also suddenly becomes Japanese-only since this version will only have Japanese. It's really shitty for people who want to do anything in their native language. My wife also sometimes tries to play on my US account to work on her English.
