That seems like a perfectly good reason, albeit one that is in the favor of publisher.
The reason is awful too. The Japanese MSRP is ~$90, so they're afraid Japanese people may import the US version to take advantage of the weak dollar, since the game has both languages in both versions.
1. There is no good reason for region locks ever.
2. How many people are really going to import from the US?
It fucks me over bad, because I have a jPS3.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
I would import from America if it were cheaper. I really want this game. Anime hooooooooooo!
Guys, I seriously want to learn this game. I hope this is popular enough to make it to EVO.
I'm holding out hope until I play it.
Also: For it to be less than $60.
That price is a bit steep, and I doubt I'm buying it anytime soon seeing as how I'm literally living out of a suit case, but I do like what I see.
I'm actually glad you're pumped for it. I am pretty pumped for it as well, though having a 30-40 hour storymode apparently is a little weird.
Well, Persona is an RPG if I'm not mistaken. I'm not surprised they added a separate story to it. I just don't give a shit about the one player mode unless that's how you unlock characters and then I'll lose my shit.
