Looks like the official Mistwalker Twitter account has been updated with more info on The Last Story localization. Apparently, a typo was made in their original post. Here’s what the team has to say now.

‘Argh, it’s a typo. I meant to say “by the end of this YEAR”. Sorry.’

Now we know that it’s going to be a much longer wait than we originally thought, but at least it sounds like the game will be localized! Thanks to NintenDaan for the heads up.

I guess, in some instances, the publishers understand that gamers are just stepping in to do what they won’t!
