Please, Don't apply region lock to Trails of Cold Steel!
I've heard that Trails of Cold Steel (which will be launched in the summer) will be applied to region lock.

I expect that will be Asia region because of PS3 &PS VITA versions.

But you know that?

Playing Trails of Cold Steel with PS3 is fair enough, but buying PS3 for Trails of Cold Steel is non-sense because that machine is out of date!

It will be better to buy PS4 for Trails of Cold Steel 3 If I must.

Then playing it with PS VITA? It's cool if you can stand with horrible frame drops and really really long loding time!

So please please please DO NOT make that decision. I beg you!

I don't need translations! I'll play it in English with dictionaries!

XSEED has a limited right as to where they're allowed to distribute the game. Asking them to break their agreements with Falcom and / or international law doesn't seem really advisable.

Even if Cold Steel PC gets region-locked on Steam, you should be able to get the English version from GOG since XSEED's published all their Falcom games there so far. I see no reason why Falcom would deny this because they already have a DRM-free policy.

Well...

Then I will just wait until the game has been launched.

Just...I'll pray to God that Falcom doesn't apply region lock to South Korea.

Falcom translates their many games to Korean in these days, however, So Korea will be involved in region lock, I guess.

Oh, great information for me!

If I can't get the game on Steam, I'll buy it from GOG. Thank you! :)

My pleasure! I don't know if that's actually what will happen, but the odds for a GOG release are very likely (and savvy on XSEED's part).

I wish that just be a rumor.

Actually, I couldn't find any information related to this 'region lock' on Google.

But some Korea Falcom fans say it will be.

Nevertheless, thanks to you, I won't worry about it anymore. Hail to GOG!

Hate to say it, but the reason South Koreans don't get games has nothing to do wtih the companies at hand.

It has everything to do with your government's laws concerning both video game sales and international distribution.

No company in their right mind would purposely leave a region out unless they were being forced to. Keep that in mind.

I heard that some company in China is releasing some Falcom games on Steam in Chinese so Xseed probably will not have the right to sell the same games in China, HK, TW, etc. It's Ao and Zero, I think.

Korea, China, Japan usually have their own license for the game, that said you can always change your steam reagion.

AFAIK, none of XSEED's games are strictly region locked. For Falcom's games specifically, the only caveat is that they're English language only, but they can still be purchased from wherever. So I think you should be able to purchase it on steam, but if not GOG'll probably be there, too.

That would been joyland but they pulled both Ao and zero from greenlight and we still don't know why.

Not just Ao and Zero,they pulled everything (or so I think) and isn't greenlight changing/getting discontinued?

"No company in their right mind would purposely leave a region out unless they were being forced to. Keep that in mind."
From a german perspective I can say most publishers are laughable ignorant to regional laws but so is Valve themself.
Thankfully most of the time you can seperate the 'lock' into different tiers that get defined by being able to see the store page, being able to receive a gift and being able to activate the game at all without VPN.
