Just occurred to me, should we take this as a sign of surprise re-releases or just Sony and Bamco being dicks?
Its possible. Stuff like this is almost always behind the scenes license issues though. Japan can be a bit picky when it comes to digital rights for various things in other regions. Promotional cross-over stuff (like I mentioned before this is what got phantasy star portable 2 delisted years ago. The game contained things like a to love ru outfit, and a few more from other manga/anime series), voice actors (this was the reason why it took mega man legends so long to get released on PS3 PSN for NA years back, in comparison to japan who had the game for a long time on their PSN), the actors theirselves (the reason why it took judgment so long to get ported over to the PC), songs, etc.
I'm trying to remember if xillia 2 contains something that would get it delisted compared to xillia 1 which I believe is still up. (In NA PSN anyway. I think xillia 1 got delisted from the EU region awhile back).
