Also make the English script for the voice actors.
How long do you think it will take to voice just only the introduction of the game? If you think about it, Advent Children is about two hours, does anyone know how long it took to dub it in English?

It's mainly due to translation issues I think, I mean, consider the difference between Japanese and American/English etc.
One sentence in English could become a few lines in Japanese and vice versa, also as GameGeeks said they have to do it all manually.
Therefore, taking a long time. xD

I actually live in Europe.
The European edition is in English and the voice actors are same.
Why must we wait so much?
Hey, you're lucky! At least all you have to wait for is translation. In australia, we get everything last
^^I thought we generally got stuff at the same time as Europe 
Anyway, my guess is that the main reason for the wait is the translation process, which (as stated above) can take a long time. Plus the fact that the publishers have to re-publish the game for western audiences and make it compatible with NA and PAL systems could very well contribute to the wait we all have to endure.

Whilst I'm pretty sure translation has a lot to do with it, as Batman said, we live in Europe and have the same voice actors, yet, it's released around 5/6 months after NA so isn't it something to do with localization and having to change it from NTSC to PAL etc? D8
A bit more effort in your posts, please, guys.Hey, you're lucky! At least all you have to wait for is translation. In australia, we get everything last
Translation obviously plays a factor in the delays but I'm guessing that sending the games through the video game standards agencies and such like wouldn't help, either. They've got to monitor all content and make sure it complies with national standards (e.g. the scene in KH2 where Jack is stabbed by Barbossa is omitted from other versions due to compliance and rating issues). So, on top of translating the game, having voice actors come in, learn the script, perform it, check it, re-do it if necessary, I suppose the length of time it takes is understandable.

Yes, I guess that happens next after the translation but if you have a PAL Play Station 3 you can get a disc made by Code Junkies who are the company which makes the Action Replay (cheat system) that allows you to play NTSC format games.
I had it for my Game Cube because I bought a lot of the games from Japan.
But I don't know if there is one for the PS3, there should be somewhere...

Awright!Whose been touchin' my materia??
But listen they need to translate(what someone just said) and they need to cut bits out if needed to as if it a childrens game in the US/Europe and a aldults game in Japan,they need to cut out violence!
