To be honest, I personally don't give a shit about any future MH games being localised. It's as a friend of mine pointed out while playing on AHP. Capcom, like Square, rapes the games when translating them into other languages and remove content.

I'd rather import the game with access to all goodies than being stuck with a butchered mock-version in exchange for me being able to actually read it.

A good example of such butchering? In FF13 JP the player is capable to pre-emptive a very troublesome boss called Neochu. A monster almost impossible to kill. This way they get an easy victory. On top of that, the Death spell, which can instant-kill even superbosses (albeit a luck-based effect), has a significantly higher success rate in the japanese release than in the EU/NA one.

Another example is how Alatreon remains KO'd for just a little longer than 1 second more in the JP version of MH3 than in the EU/NA ones. And I haven't even brought up removing dummy weapons and items in the transition to western releases.

Simply put, Japan gets and keeps the good stuff and leaves us with disgracefully thinned out scraps of what we actually deserve.
