So? This is not the first delay, and as you said, this is not some sudden random demand from fans, but smth they knew even before they started with the project. If anything, this convinces me further. Jp developers rarely do the international version at the same time, even if it doesn't have dubs. It's not about being condescendent, but rather that they are used to consider the international version of their games a secondary objective, always. In the rest of the world, it barely matters where one developer is based on, but for Japanese ones it always feels like they are first and foremost Japanese, and then maaaaybe they'll port it to the rest of the world. Not to be an ungrateful, conceited fan, but this always happens with Japanese games, and these studios are not newbies who are encountering problems with their first projects.
