There's simply no in-between when it comes to PAL localizations of Square Enix games: they either take absolutely ages to arrive, or no time at all. Happily, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: Grimoire of the Rift will fall into the latter category, with the game appearing across Europe on June 27th, three days after its U.S. debut. We're attaching another gold star to your record, Square! Nintendo and every other company out there who puts Euro gamers through the mill far too frequently: take note!If you're still too impatient to wait another five weeks, you may want to keep your thumbs and brain busy with a close alternative -- and conveniently enough, we have a whole bunch of recommendations for you to try out.

Localisation? What localisation? They never change any of the spellings at the very least, or to language we use, and the DS doesn't have regional encoding.

They have to add different languages for the EU version.

I mean British English, and not language language.

The UN has different rules and I suspect that's why their excuse for not releasing just in countries that have finished localizing.

yes it seems good that they can at least get Europe a game within three days of US release, whereas nintendo themselves cant seem to get Brawl over there in 3 days, hey looks like its been 3+ months.

Good to see Square Enix finally getting it's act together for European releases. There really is no excuse for delaying games for months with no real explanation.
I was amazed (and pleased) that Europe got TWEWY four days before the US!
Take note Capcom, who are releasing Apollo Justice in Europe 3 months too late and don't even seem to be releasing Trials and Tribulations at all, follow Square Enix's example and treat the European fans with the respect they deserve!
