I think people in the west are really underestimating the force that Nintendo has managed to acquire with having both Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter exclusivity on their side.
We might begin to see something of a dichotomy in the games industry with more Japanese developers on Nintendo's side, and more western developers on Sony/Microsoft's side.
" I agree. One of the reasons I absolutely hate Nintendo of America is their aweful track record for localization."
I'm still bitter they never released Fatal Frame 4. That crappy Spirit Camera got localized, but a genuinely good survival horror didn't? So disappointing... :(
Don't be stupid. Of course there will be a subscription fee and you will pay it like everyone else. It takes a lot of time, development and money to make a game like DQX and to keep the content fresh and updated. Oh noes you may have to spend $14 per month booooo.
But will Enthrall Japan when they drop a new Pokemon.
They will like it I'm sure

It took waaaaaaaaay too much effort to get Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora's Tower.
I've already given up hope on Fatal Frame 4 and 2!
