When it comes to buy from japan, the best store I found (in my view that is)i s
http://japan-best.com
they have more choice and generally have the best prices of the pack

Thanks 4 the update Sal! I had almost forgot about it:pOne of the many reasons I love dis site. Always thinking about the little folks, much appreciated Sal :)

Only took a month, but it just went live on the JP PlayStation Store. Go grab it!

I hope so. I can maybe afford it in September.

Won’t that do for the moment? 720p version should be decent at least ;)

Rather long I hope. Don’t think importers’ interest it that high.

Gosh, $112 is maybe a bit to much for me to spend right now. I wonder how long it will stay in stock?

Nippon-yasan still have some LE’s in stock. Their prices are way lower than play-asia’s as they’re located in Japan. Just in case anybody’s interested.

you’re welcome =)
should’ve thought of it while posting, won’t happen again ;)

Okay thanks, I am fine with Namco Bandai or NIS America localizing Toki to Tawa because they both choose good english VAs for there games!

Ah, thank you very much! =)

Sorry, mate. The first one reads “Shujinkô” and it means protagonist, hero/heroine or main character. It does not necessarily mean player character but it is often used that way. My assumption is that he’s the main character of the story but not the player character per se. As Shujinkô usually refers to the player character ImageEpoch probably took the popular western translation.

ローマ字 = Rômaji – romanization of a Japanese text or term, so it can be read be people who do not know Japanese characters.

I wish I could read that. xD

You are very welcome.

I would guess Namco-Bandai would likely be the first choice when it comes to localization. They are publishing the game in Japan.

No real update on the localization of the project recently. Last update was posted back on July 7th.

This is from the article Sal posted –

Asked on Twitter by a fan for the project to come stateside, he said, “The project is progressing.” Pressed for more by another fan, he added, “It contracts soon. [Localization].”
Namco Bandai owns the Toki to Towa property in Japan, so it is possible he is in talks with Namco Bandai Games America and Europe to bring the game overseas. Another possibility is NIS America, who signed an exclusive contract with the Japanese developer in November 2010 to bring their games overseas.

That was actually really helpful, thank you! I didn’t know that Toki has an alter ego called Tawa, now I know more about the game than I did before. I couldn’t figure out who Tawa was from the gameplay trailer because it is in Japanese, it was still cool to watch though. Do you know what game company is going to be the one to localize this game if it is coming to the States? Is there a really good chance that this game will come to the States or a slim chance?

Towa, is kinda like Toki’s alter ego. Both have different personalities, and they even fight in different ways. Toki is good for long distance attacks. Towa is better for close range attacks.

Early on in the game, at the wedding, bandits attack. Towa, awakens within Toki at this moment to fight the bandits.

This is what I’ve gathered from the trailers and the few details we know about the game. I hope this helps make some sense of it. It’s kinda complicated.

Will do!

When it does becomes available on the JPN PSN, you think you could update us so I can go on their and download it too? After a week or two it becomes hard as all heck to find anything on the JPN PSN.

Thanks for all the updates Sal:)
