PS3 version of DS RPG to be localized in English next year; DLC also in the works.
While Japan will be getting the PS3 version of the Level-5 and Studio Ghibli RPG collaboration known as Ninokuni on November 17, no one knew whether an English version would be made. RPG fans and Studio Ghibli enthusiasts can now rejoice as Ninokuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joou (subtitled "Queen of the White Ashes") for the PS3 will be out in North America in early 2012.
If you happen to like video games AND you are learning Japanese, you are in a great situation. You can start playing games to practice Japanese.
Excellent stuff. I'm convinced to try some of these out and get back to learning finally after it intimidated the hell out of me recently after a class.
Hmm... At this point I am decent with spoken language but helpless with the written. My only motivation to learn it is for games so I don't have to wait on translations. I suppose it's time for the do it anyway approach?
This one probably help

"If you’ve recently wished that the RPGs of today had a little more in common with their elders from the 16 and 32-bit eras — no, wait, check that — if you have ever liked a Japanese RPG at all, you owe Ni no Kuni a shot." -Heath Hindman on PlayStation LifeStyle
With Xenoblade, Persona 4 Vita, and the Last Story last year, Atelier Ayesha now confirmed, and this coming out this month, things have been rolling well for RPG fans lately.
The return of the JRPG, the way it should be. We've said it a million times, but 2013 is shaping up to be an amazing year in gaming.
“Japanese RPG”, when used nowadays, is a term that makes often makes gamer cringe. This generation of games has not been to kind to the fabled genre that brought us series like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and the Tales series. But worry not, JRPG faithful, Level-5 and Namco Bandai are making sure that Ni no Kuni changes all that!
Only thing I don't like about these demos is that it only makes the wait oh so slightly longer. Especially for a product as enchanting as this game.
This article pretty much sums up my thought about the demo: CAN'T WAIT.
