PSN avatars for PAL regions?

[Ringwraith]

We've been discussing that very problem over in the original thread for the mysterious singular Disgaea 4 avatar being available.
Although are you sure it's the Desco one giving you Valvatorez? As by all accounts it's Flonne's which yields his.

Unless it's even weirder than that and it just messes up the first one you get or something.

The flonne avatar is the first one I bought and is totally fine, but when I bought the desco avatar it appareared valvatozez portrait instead, and both desco and valvatorez have the red icon that indicates they have been brought but i only have bought desco.

axel I suppose is fine since some people on my friend list are using him already, I haven´t tried fuuka, but seeing the situation I prefer not to risk my €€€

[Ringwraith]

I only have the 'purchased' icon for the avatar I supposedly bought, not the one I supposedly got.
So I have no idea what's going on with yours, sounds really badly messed up.

[ivanchu77]

I tried again and it seems the problem has been fixed now, i tried to donwload the desco avatar and didn´t had any problems.

[Ringwraith]

Yup, I just confirmation of the issue being noticed and fixed.
So finally they work as intended.
Just their spotty region availability left to fix, but can't do much but wait with that.

[Sieghardt]

so are there any more plans to release more avatars in europe? or was it too much hassle getting them up? I know there was a few problems with it but I'd love to have the selection my us account has

[Ringwraith]

That reminds me, I got credited as the wrong avatar purchase after they fixed which one linked to which and reported the problem and not heard anything since "I'll look into it".

Time for a bump me thinks.

Still waiting on them getting on Danish store

Yeah, still hoping for the arrival of the avatars in the Netherlands as well

Holland was also effect by Sony new Policy?

The entirety of Europe was, the unavailability of stuff comes from the languages NISA can't translate stuff into off-hand.

This is why Sony should drop this new Policy

I often wonder if SCEE is actively trying to chase away publishers from their platforms.

Im curious whats up with these avatars though.

Some time ago we actually had a Disgaea 2 avatar that was available in the NL PSN but later it vanished from the store. Than later a batch of Disgaea 4 avatars were released but it showed up as an empty category on the NL PSN store.
This week another batch was released and it was supposed to be available for NL but their not on the store.

I asked sony about this on the blog multiple times but they refuse to answer.

Can someone shed some light on this?

That's because of SCEE stupid Policy, that require Publisher to translate the Document to get stuff up on PSN to the Country Languages.

Really hope Sony soon remove this Policy, since I really want HDN Avatar (when they come to EU)

[DizzyQViper]

Yeah i know. Heres a quote from a Capcom staff member about the subject:

Something’s take a long time for very little return. So they are not prioritised.

Avatars is one of these, without sharing confidential information of our first party partners there is an extremely long process that involves localising large reams of data in 12 languages in the submissions process. There are no shortcuts and the whole process can last several months from start to finish.

It's very time heavy and simply put we don't have the staff to make this 100% priority ahead of getting a game out of the door and on the shelves.

But the weird thing is. The Disgaea 2 avatar (IIRC it was Adell) WAS available on the NL store but it mysteriously vanished. The first batch of D4 avatars showed up as a category at first but there was nothing in it and than the whole Disgaea 4 avatar category simply vanished all together without an explanation.
And in this weeks batch the Netherlands are not listed as an excluded country but still we dont have them.

SCEE is playing ostrich around this subject. But i would really like to know what is going on. Is this a a screwup on SCEE's behalf? I mean the Totori DLC is STILL not properly displayed in the NL PSN and only accessible by a manual search despite several reminders to fix this so that would not surprise me at all.

If its intentional and the NL was never supposed to have them, thats fine too and i wouldn't hold it against NIS or anything. I just wish someone would simply be upfront about it so i can finally stop clinging to the hope SCEE fixes their store one day and they show up for purchase again.
