Fans of many Japanese games (in particular, JRPGs) can be a persistently prickly bunch often to the point of working themselves up into a frenzy if they feel slighted in the slightest bit by a publisher they feel isn’t working hard or fast enough at localizing certain Japanese games (no matter how niche). However, that’s actually a good thing when we all benefit from a publisher like Xseed that can make the magic happen. One example of this is today’s surprising news that Xseed has picked up the publishing rights to Hironubu Sakagushi’s The Last Story, one of the best current-gen games on the console that has a lot of people very excited. You can ogle some more video info on the Mistwalker-developed title over at the Nintendo Direct channel (just skip ahead to 10:11 in the video and prepare to be awed).

Soooo, that means with Xenoblade Chronicles (9:04 in that Nintendo Direct presentation) coming from Nintendo on April 6 and Xseed giving us The Last Story, only the M-rated Pandora’s Tower remains as the last major RPG on many fans’ Wii RPG must-have lists. While there’s no word on that game being localized, I’d imagine sales of The Last Story would impact any decision should Xseed want to tackle the localization duties. In English: If YOU buy the game and get your Wii-owning pals to do so as well, that means there’s a better chance that we’ll see Pandora popping up on store shelves (or even better, as an exclusive directly from Xseed to keep the price down). Keep an eye peeled for a release date on The Last Story and do the right thing…
