While releases are better now than they were say… five years ago, there are many games that are released in North America that are either never released in PAL regions (Requiring an import if that is possible) or have frustratingly long delays.
While based in the US, Nippon Ichi Software America seems to have become aware of the plight faced by PAL region gamers and have released a number of titles from other publishers in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The latest announcement is Ys: Memories of Celceta, which is being published by XSEED Games in North America and will be headed to PAL regions in early 2014.
In Ys: Memories of Celceta, developer Falcom revisits the land and characters of Japanese cult favorite Ys IV for its first ever European debut. This re-envisioning of the fourth installment in the Ys series takes a brand new approach, changing and framing the story of Ys IV within an all-new tale of conspiracy, deception, and mystery. Featuring an updated version of the party-based battle system from Ys SEVEN, as well as the largest and most varied overworld in series history, Ys: Memories of Celceta brings a greater sense of adventure to the Ys universe than has ever been seen before.
