I'm always confused as to why Australia and the English-speaking countries in Europe have to wait so long. Do they completely re-translate games just for the hell of it?
Spain Germany and Italy would like a word with you. (Fuckers won't learn english 
)
My comment was meant more as sarcasm, as in:
"Hey guys, I know that there's already a version of this game translated into English, but what the hell... let's translate it to English again just for kicks!"
Yeah...
It's because the standard format over here is PAL, not NTSC. Now while that's all well and good and conversion to PAL isn't particularly a strenuous process, they don't see it as a plausible idea to translate the NTSC version into 2 PAl versions... one for English and another for non-English. It's probably just cheaper to produce the one...
If that's the case why don't they change the region of the pre-existing game first and then distribute the converted version to the different countries for translation? If that's what
is going on, it's still any easy change of procedure to avoid that problem.
While all the reasons I've read and thought of in this thread make sense, all of them seem too easily avoidable to cause the sort of delays you all have had to deal with. There needs to be some sort of
unavoidable, legitimate reason why the PAL region always has to wait, right?
