Alot of people are actually importing out of spite lol, ironically making DOAX3 region specific may have been the best thing to happen to it lol KT must be sitting pretty on a pile of Yen right about now.
If you want the English edition, it costs 72.99 to import - as opposed to a standard 60.00 release price.
Again, how many sales have been lost for Koei Tecmo because of this - and this fan-base has been bashing it's own game for years. It's very disappointing.
It's a pretty fucking brilliant move by KT if you ask me. They know the game will sell like shit in the West so there's no point in wasting money and producing an NA SKU when some "angry" Westerner gamers will just import the JP SKU.
The other DOAX games sold like shit so I'm pretty sure KT isn't losing sleep over this. And no, the people "bashing" the DOA franchise aren't real fans.
So you felt compelled to create an account to complain here because you have to pay an extra $12.99 to import your DOAX game? Considering the prices of KT's DLC lately, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
