Asia region PS4 RPGs with English Subtitles the new thing?

[StealthLurker]

Is there a new trend for Asia region PS4 RPGs with English subtitles? I just noticed it now with Ys Origin.

Ys Origin physical release PS4 30 bucks

Seems like a good thing to me... Asia region releases are generally cheaper, have the nice cover art like the Japanese versions, etc.

I wouldn't say it's a new thing. There are actually many ESL countries in asia, so these releases are usually meant for them. Philippines etc.
It's quite common on Vita and PC.

Yeah Asian English games are nothing new really, it's just that they have more awareness now due to most systems being region free. And stuff that publishers refuse to release here like DOAX3 will usually get an Asian English release because SJW's aren't rampant over there. All in all, they are awesome though and I have quite a few of them on Vita.

Thanks for the heads up fellas! Any notable ones you remember and recommended on ps3 and maybe ps4 worth a look? Especially any that only got a digital version in the west.

not only is it cheaper, but a lot of rpg's don't get released in the west. especially in europe. so having english subs is great news for rpg fans. only if they implemented this when i was deep into the genre.

I love this Asia English thing now because they are releasing games like super robot wars in english, gundam games , etc.

There's a lot more probably, but you get the idea. There's also a lot of cool exclusives on the Vita if you're into that system.

Yeah, Vita has been getting a lot of Asian English releases which is kind of cool. Oreshika was another that was pretty in demand there for awhile as well.
