If the Japanese sale figures are anything to go by, they could make a lot of money by selling this game in the west, so I don't see a reason on why they wouldn't prioritize on it, specially when they can bank on the success of Ideology In Friction given how this game is more or less a spiritual sucessor of that.
Depends I guess, if there's s'posed to be some kind of V2 there are 2 options there. The first is that it's a free upgrade to the game, which means you'd rather it be translated 'after' release of that.
Other option is that it'll be the same as Ideology, with a paid DLC release, which they'll want to sell seperately, so translate seperately.
Still ... the upcoming Kagura release for this Saturday (Dungeon Town), is kind of the same ain't it ... that dude sure got the DLC thing down on the JPN release ... split that thing into a base game and like 4 add-ons.
One of them pretty much selling the 'unlock code' to make a buck.
Looking at those sales numbers that thing surely made bank as well.
I'm just curious what Kagura's release is actually going to contain! You'd expect it to be the 'full experiece' (so with all DLC/update packs), but who knows ... it might turn out to be just the base game (as they're selling it for even less than the base game on dlsite, never mind the DLC).
