Arguably, there's been a bit of communication error with many third party and some first party developers as of late. Whether or not a title should come west, the actual popularity and financial success of a series, company supply vs fan demand... It's been rough. One of the biggest debates at hand right now, is the godfather of all JRPG's Dragon Quest. Its presence in the west has diminished as of late, but the fans still want to have access to the franchise. They've been campaigning hard, just as we IGAvania fans have; but it is currently unknown as to how their battle will end. Given the circumstances, this begs a question. What series would you like to see brought outside the land of the rising sun, and what changes would you like to see implemented to your favorite franchises? I'd like to see what the community thinks about the localization process, and what titles they have their eyes on in the east, so please do share your thoughts!

There's only three games I can think of at the top of my head: Mother 3, Terranigma, and Seiken Densetsu 3. I know Terranigma got released in Europe, but not the USA.

Mother 3 and Seiken Densetsu 3 are on the top of my want list as well. Though both are seriously behind with their localization if we ever had the chance, I don't see why we couldn't get them now, in the age of digital distribution. I know they released earthbound zero (mother, the original) on Nintendo Eshop, so why not release Mother 3 under the title "Earthbound: Next"? There's a lot of potential out there that can inspire new markets, and I'm all for exploring these options. One can never tell what will succeed, unless one dares. The NES was a great example of success against impossible odds, as was Shovel Knight, Super Meat Boy, Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandora's Tower... The list goes on. All a publisher needs to do, is ask. Showcase a bit of gameplay, and let the fans offer their opinions. If it's positive enough to at least break even, I'd say green-light the project. odds are, you'll eventually continue to see demand rise. Which, if it does, you can always get a second printing going. If not, Then it's a lost cause and the developer was right. After all... questions and polls can be a powerful tool, aye?

Mother 3 was awesome. I'd like to play it again with the proper translations, and it'd be nice to be able to play the earlier Fire Emblem games as well. I remember I played the first FE game with fan-translations and that was really enjoyable, so I'd hope the others are great as well. Never hurts to have a little more choices to play from! Other than that, I don't really keep up much with titles outside of the West.

I heard the SNES ones were great and I was so upset that the GBA game with Roy never came to the USA. I'd love to throw money at my own actual copy of those titles.

All of these are wonderful options, especially Fire Emblem!
A few others that I'd like to see would be Sora no Kiseki: Trails in the Sky, more YS titles, I'd also certainly like to more Dragon Quest titles (especially Yangus Fushigi No Dungeon!), and of course, more "Tales of" titles as well.
Franchises I'd like to see return? Chrono, Suikoden, Lunar, Breath of Fire (NOT in a social media game style), Castlevania (true to form), Mega Man,Ogre Battle Saga,Final Fantasy Tactics (also, not in a social media style), Wild Arms, and Grandia.

omg don't get me started on Panty Shot Online 2. I was playing the Japanese CBT and was really enjoying it... then the OBT came out, and the translation patch didn't work anymore for some time, but I still loved it... then the translation patch started working again, and at the same time, they announced PSO2 west! So at that point I made a decision... despite the fact I was REALLY enjoying playing PSO2, I QUIT COLD TURKEY... because I KNEW the longer I played on JPN, the harder it would be to quit when west was out, and I DID want west to be my main server so I can play with people who also speak english without forcing myself in one block or whatever. I also wanted to be able to possibly buy micro transactions officially without 3rd party things... I also wanted the ability to send support tickets.. and report cheaters, and all that stuff you can only do on the server you're SUPPOSED to play on.
Alas, PSO2 west seems like it will never be *runs away crying*.
Other games I really want localized are... the rest of the kiseki series,, the gagharv trilogy redone would also be nice... I also want this dungeon crawler by platine dipostif or whatever it's called to be localized, I can never remember the name.. depesiro or something like that. I also want the entire fushigi no gensokyou series localized or translated.. you know, aquastyle's roguelike series... heck pretty much everything by aquastyle please.. PLEASE.
I gave up on seiken densetsu 3.. I just bought the effing game along with a japanese super famicom. I played the translation patch enough times to not really need it translated anymore lol.
I also want a translation for mashiro iro symphony, and pretty much every game made by Xuse and Eternal.
prob heaps more.
edit: OMGWTF just saw last post after posting this (wasn't there before). I forgot about PSO2 SEA.. did you know that when the SEA open beta was out, people datamined some of the files, and based on the comments of the files and the scripts, it was apparent that the SEA version is using files that was originally used to make PSO2 WEST?!?!
So PSO2West was announced first, we've been waiting for longer, they MADE the effing game.. and then...they don't give it to us, they give it to SEA instead... in English.. ASLKFDJALSKJFDALSDFKJ@#$%J%@#LKJ%@asdf *splodes*.

For the longest time, I've wanted the "A.C.E." games localized. ("Another Century's Episode" series)
Most of us who play games with lots of mecha in them, and those who didn't import these games, have likely heard of the Super Robot Wars series instead. (Some of those games are favorites of mine, too!)
The A.C.E. series, similar to SRW, allows you to control mecha from many different series (including, of course, Gundam & Macross/Robotech). The big difference is that you more directly control them, moving freely around stage maps to complete missions.
I should probably also mention that the A.C.E. series of games are developed by From Software.
Here's a few gameplay videos from "A.C.E. 3: The Final": (Pretty old, since 2007, so the quality may be a bit fuzzy)
Here's a couple videos from "Another Century's Episode R", the most recent entry:

The game that I want it to be localized is Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Full Boost
I tried the game during the Gunpla Event in June I sucked at playing since I never see it I'm certain I will be better, if I got time to practice

I'm definitely wanting to try out every single playable Gundam in that game.
