  • In whatever year Tales of Zestiria comes out in Japan, it will also hit western territories in that same year, as Tales Global Brand Manager Dennis Lee said, “One of the big things was, ‘It’s taking so long between the Japanese release and when the western releases come out.’ And so, over the past, I’d say, two years, they’ve been working really hard to shorten that time frame. We’ve gone from over two years with Xillia 1, and now we’ve gotten it down to a year, and we’re going to get it to less than that for Tales of Zestiria – it’s going to be in the same year as the Japanese release. So they’re working on shrinking that time down as much as possible.” [Via, Source]
