I'm just going to throw out two theories of mine as to why there isn't a dub:
1) Funimation licenses the series in parts, meaning they might not have the rights to dub the latter side of the game's script.
2) Because Funimation has only licensed the show up to a certain point, they haven't cast a lot of the characters that will appear in the game, and the effort to suitably cast them without properly casting the entirety of the characters from... #11.1
Why? It's not like Xillia is despised by fans. On the contrary, Tales fans would eat up anything that comes to the west. And this really isn't the 'Sequel nobody asked for', considering this isn't a direct sequel, but rather an entirely new mothership title ala Destiny 2. OH and fun fact, they already put out a Tales of Versus back in 2009 ;) #4.1
It's also available on the Japanese Xbox Marketplace but you need a Gold subscription. I've been hearing nothing but positive impressions from people playing the demo so I'm really excited! Downloading the PSN demo right now. To anyone curious, the demo has the option to change the text and voice track to English.
Edit: A user on Neogaf uploaded the 360 demo files for those interested (not going to link the thread since I dunno if that's against N4G guideline... #3
Such a shame, especially when the launch trailer they just put out has been greeted with a great reception (if you haven't watched it yet, do it!). I'm really excited to play the demo and if Sega cuts this, I'll be really tempted to import it since it'll be region free and include the localization. But here's hoping it doesn't come to that. I really want to support Platinum with my monies. #1
