xZoneHunter Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/03/23-1/taiwanese-version-of-sword-art-online-hollow-fragment-game-includes-english-subtitles Importers take note: In the event that Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment never makes it to the west, there's always the Taiwanese version to fall back on. Namco Bandai Games Taiwan announced that their version will have Japanese voiceovers and subtitles in both Traditional Chinese and English. All i can say is; YESSSSS. This game has been on the#1 spot of my vita wishlist of 2014 and being able to play it fully in english is just... too amazing! Altough i'm not too sure it's going to be in full english(looking at the screenshot, it could be chinese/english combined) i'm still very pleased with this news!

GarciaFever Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 "... in the event that word Art Online: Hollow Fragment never makes it to the west..." There is no such thing as NEVER when it comes to SAO. It must make it to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 "... in the event that word Art Online: Hollow Fragment never makes it to the west..." There is no such thing as NEVER when it comes to SAO. It must make it to the west. It just feels like it can happen. Especially since they've practically made (minus a few UI menus) an english version of the game. Sony also needs to put that 'third party production studios' to work and localize more games. Sony said those guys could do it. They're using them to port Borderlands 2 to the Vita.

xZoneHunter Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 http://gamingeverything.com/bandai-namco-bringing-sword-art-online-hollow-fragment-overseas-this-summer/ Localisation, CONFIRMEND! For the moment only digital, so i'm not going to cancel my pre-order of the taiwanese version. (I love my cases) But reading that this comes to the west is just amazing! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read the article T.T (digital exclusive in America!!!!). I guess I have to figure out how to get an American PSN acct.

For me it's: Akiba's Trip Danganronpa 2:Goodbye Despair Sword Art Online:Hollow Fragment Tales of Hearts Freedom Wars Debating some of the collections coming out, but all of these are guaranteed purchases for me.

D-Tron Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm very surprised Bamco is localizing this. It might be digital only, but it's far better than not getting it at all. Although, I would've preferred a physical copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I hope EU gets it as well... I would prefer physical copy, though :/ Yep me too, That's why i'm still getting the taiwanese version over the digital US/(EU?) version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoto Shirogane Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Awesome stuff. I'll most likely plan on getting the digital version of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edunstar84 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) New information about SAO: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/05/14/sword-art-online-hollow-fragment-coming-ps-vita-july/ I think I'll get the Taiwanese version, since it seems to be a digital release for EU region. Has anybody heard if the US will get a physical copy? Edit: Nevermind, EU and US digital release only. Oh yeah, and this topic belongs in the PS Vita "Other" category.

Satoshi Ookami Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Kinda late, PS Blog =D I'm not gonna be picking up Taiwanese version as this seems to have multiplayer and I don't really want to rely on not region-locking MP so... I'll get the European digital version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBomb Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I hope EU gets it as well... I would prefer physical copy, though :/ If I can have that game it doesn't matter if it is physical or digital. I have it and that's good enough. Now I saw the end of this forum. It will be for Europe. Oh I will get it. Edited June 16, 2014 by BrunoBomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sometime down the line, but at least nothing yet, even in the major July update, nothing about it mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrunoBomb Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 If there is no online better for me. At least no online trophies. But this game loses his name now. Sword Art ONLINE but the game is not online. I suppose is online for a reason. Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raine_Evenstar Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I see... so there aren't any online trophies? There are "online" trophies. As in you connect into multiplayer mode (which is just ad hoc) but you can play by yourself and set the rest of the characters as AI. In other words, you can get all the "online" trophies yourself.

D-Tron Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Still, They decided to include an HD remaster of Infinity Moment for NA/EU. I don't think that game was even translated to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that game was even translated to English. Yea it wasn't. And iirc it also didn't have the Taiwanese version (not sure about this). And... is it even in Taiwanese version now?

Raine_Evenstar Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I really think there's a mistake about that HD remaster of Infinity Moment piece of news. Because essentially.. SAO Hollow Fragment IS the HD remaster of Infinity Moment + new Hollow Story Arc. I don't see why you would want to play through the same game twice... especially when SAO Hollow Fragment has the upgraded and enhanced battle system. There's really no point in playing Infinity Moment... everything in that game is in Hollow Fragment already ^^;;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarciaFever Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) I have the game in Japanese version, but I haven't been able to play it due to my backlog of other vita games, and also because I have very little knowledge of Japanese language. Have they released a date as to when the NA version comes out? Edited June 17, 2014 by GarciaFever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
