Isolationism suits Japan pretty well, I guess. Maybe we should get Matthew Perry's descendant to open this game up again.

But seriously, wasn't this game supposed to be coming to North America? Was the website I saw a lie? Or is this region lock just on the Japanese version of the game?

Some suggest it might be a token response to the allegations that foreign hackers were responsible for a series of pranks in which important NPC characters were placed out of reach or behind glass.
Japanese- blaming foreigners for every problem since 1868

Why do Sega continuously keep showing off their Xenophobia phallus every 10 years to remind us all that deep down they just hate us but want our money nonetheless.

Just when I think they've put the juvenile behavior behind them, BAM out comes the crotchety old man again(figuratively speaking).

Oh well, I don't really care about this game. And now I care even less.

Just feel bad for the people who invested time in it I guess. Even with *cough* means to regain access, I'd still feel too betrayed to continue playing.

Even WoW doesn't go 'well fuck you, you moved countries? Nope, buy our game again to continue', as long as I have my authenticator handy, I can access the EU realms from where-ever I damn well please. Seems like a frivolous expense for some, it's invaluable to someone who travels as much as I do.

I like how pretty much any story about a policy decision made somewhere in Japan is immediately filled with "all Japanese are racist" posts.

So is this like how some businesses in Japan ban all races but Japanese from entering because they got frustrated with a few "gaijin"?

Because it seems a lot like that here...

At least it will be localized

wow what a bunch of entitled little bitches. the game will be released in english and not even in valve time. and this is a reaction to the fact that the game is full of people speaking english who ruin the experience for everyone. and they are not even content with the fact that sega let them do this, they had to keep bitching about it.
this is not the reaction to people playing outside their locale this the reaction to dipshits ruining other peoples fun because they wouldn't know patience if you drowned them in it.

Brilliant solutions from Sega as always, people desperately want to play your game and as a result you lock it down to one single solitary country...

As for the "foreigners ruined it all", xenophobia much?
This is why you moderate your bloody games, how did you possibly believe letting thousands of people run amok in your games will go without hiccups.
Seriously Sega your stupidity department needs some layoffs because they just do to good of a job.

Its natural for japan to lock foreign players out. Cos free2play games are brilliant targets for hacking and majority of hackers are usually either mid-eastern or in europe. Even they update xtrap or some anti hack sofeware, hackers will always get round it. You think japan blocking software are crap? Well I never heard of a western game that say they NEVER have been hacked so they're no better.
Besides, Western community when it comes to mmo games are a bunch of pricks to begin with and ruining the game is always fun to them. Not saying it ONLY happens in the west but they are alot worse.
