Ys X launched in the West a little under two months ago, so this is certainly a striking sales tactic. Nobody has any idea whether this'll be available as an upgrade.

Based on steam numbers (which is only in the 4 digits if I remember), I don't think any "success" in the west mattered, and that they would've done this regardless.

I do hope that if this version comes westside, that people who at least bought it digitally can get it upgraded for cheaper, but based on other people's comments, it sounds like that will never happen
