XSEED almost didn't pick up The Last Story for localization

"It was a constant fight even within our own organization. To our external sales reps, we'd be saying, ‘No, like you guys don't understand. There's tons of fans out there that are asking for this. There's a huge fan movement.' I mean, so yeah. In the end, I think we were right." - Ken Berry, XSEED

I'm glad someone at XSEED put up that fight. They managed to make a lot of fans in the states happy, and also pulled in their best-selling title in history. That's definitely a win-win for everyone!
