Is there any Idolm@ster game out in english yet ?

It's almost 5 years and got tons of spin-offs and yet those translating company seems to be uninterested in the franchise.

not OP, but still relevant

If they brought it over it would be dubbed and would have Americanized songs.

I fucking hate when this happened.Every.Fucking.Time.

Why can't they just give us a translated menu and dialog, and leave the rest be in original voice ? It's an insult to buyers when they bought the game,excited by the prospect of it,and then got angry over stupid english voice cast.

Why would you be against RPGs but not music games anyways?

When will they ever learn ? This shit never works.

And then they wonder why the localized version didn't sell well-who the fuck want to buy your bullshit when you've bastardized every thing good in it.

Because he's using his twisted logic only when it suits his personal interests, that's why. iM@S threads are just as /v/ as jRPGs.

Because sometimes they don't have a choice in the matter. Plain spoken dialogue is one thing, but songs tend to bring with them a whole slew of additional legal issues. Maybe the cost of licensing the songs are too high, or maybe it's impossible to get the license for them altogether.

Eh...then why even bother translating it if you're not going to give the customers the original merchandise anyway ?

And doesn't the whole license issue come with the translating legal permits ? Why the fuck do they have to pay more if they want to keep the original song ? That's so illogical.
