Well, localization is more than just translation. Theres a lot of legal stuff that needs to be performed. The game has a decent amount of text, but a year does seem a bit extensive... pokemon games have more text, and they're usually in and out in half a year.

I mean, normally i'd count out the possibilty of them adding online play solely for us, but I recently heard that Capcom pushed really hard for online in order to localize P3rd, but Sony didn't cooperate and therefore they weren't succesful. I don't know if that's true, but if that is... well.. damn. Thatd mean online would be possible still.

Granted, it's useless to get hopes up for a baseless theory.. but interesting, I think.
