As far as I've been told, the reason we're not seeing subs-only releases is that it's been Sony's policy that all games need to be "properly translated". Which is about as clever as Nintendo's "you can kill people but you can't say you did" crap from three or four generations back.

Space isn't the only issue for multiple language options. Japanese games have fairly flexible prices, but if you try to suggest that a game should cost more than fifty/sixty bucks in the west, there will be a ridiculous amount of QQing. It's hard to make up for an expensive big-name JP voice cast without being able to increase the price of the game. Also time for implementation and testing (which also comes back to money).

So yeah, JRPG fandom is basically the worst fandom to get involved in. :v
