Final Fantasy Type-0′s English localization was nearly completed last year By Erren Van Duine on November 15, 2012 at 7:15 PM

Final Fantasy Type-0′s English localization was nearly complete, if a source close to Operation Suzaku is to be believed.

“According to our source, who recorded voice-over for one of the characters in the game, at least 90% of the English localization is complete. The dubbing sessions took place in the last quarter of 2011, just after the release (October 27th) of Final Fantasy Type-0 in Japan. The entirety of the English dub recording is said to be complete.”

The source claims that plans soon feel apart due to market conditions and the PSP hanging on by a thread in the west. Following Hajime Tabata’s interview on GameSpot, the voice actor decided to speak out, though they admit the project is “currently on hold.” With Square Enix leaving Final Fantasy Type-0 out to dry, it’s quite possible we’ve reached the point of no return. If the company cannot see any feasible way of turning a profit on the title, it will remain locked forever within Japan’s own walled garden.

Of course, that’s the worse case scenario.

Ideally Square Enix will come around eventually, but until then the best fans can do it show their support. If you want to see Final Fantasy Type-0 released in the west, Twitter and Facebook are probably the best options.

    That is incredibly lame. D: Oh well, my PSP broke a while back and I don’t have money for a new one or the Vita. If they’re that convinced that the portable PS systems won’t get them money, I hope they port it to the PS3. Even if it was download-only, I’d still play it. I really liked their take on l’Cie and how they ‘turn to crystal’, it was a lot more subtle than the literal version in mainline XIII.

    And in conclusion… We are all screwed until PSVita performs better in the west. Of course, they could always release it on a different platform but it looks like they won’t budge. That said… Happy waiting everybody! Like Versus. Forget about Type-0! :D

    I wouldn’t want them to release it on PSP over here if it’s just gonna hurt potential sales and lose them money. Likewise with Vita, since it’s not selling very well. I think they’d do well to release it digitally on the PS3. If they could make it look half decent without it being all blurry and pixellated on the TV, then I’d take it. I’d take it however they release it, but I just don’t know if a PSP- or Vita-only release would be good for them.

    They could always release it digital-only to reduce production costs?

    I think that’s the most probably situation, but my guess is that they’re holding on in case something new comes up.

    Ithink this is by far the best atp gameplay I have seen but it wouldnt be gud 2 have a lot of die hard ff fans miss out on such an awsome game. Theyre plenty of underground fans wholl purchase this game. Its just that it probably shouldve been put on a more common system like ps3,360.etc. Its just more money if u ask me

    Then order it as Ultimate Hits version.

    Upscaling costs money. In japan handheld gaming is burning the midnight oil. In NA it is the other way arround.

    The Vita sales are poor because of the lack of AAA titles. They put the argument that it will not be realeased if the sales are that poor. There’s tumor in that logic. :D First things first. First pushing Vita sales by AAA titles then port it to the PS3 or 360. If ya wanna have a sure shoot, get outa business.

    No fanbase, no release. It was still the same kinda risk.

    learn japanese (it take about 3 month) rather than waiting for the english version since 2011 and this will solve the problem…
