Don't worry. It has always been like this, and I rather wait for a good localization instead of having to read/hear poorly translated dialogue. Not to mention we tend to get exclusive stuff like extra bosses and content to make up for the wait.
Whatcha think of the gameplay?

Then you are playing FF for all the wrong reasons. It's an RPG. The focus is on the characters and plot. How can you play a game like that without knowing what's going on?

The gameplay is what made me go "okay, good, this IS still FF" when I was watching that video. Sci-fi stuff is just something that never seems to go with FF in my mind beyond small bits of it.

It's a lot of work.

Agreed. Hell playing Dissidia which is a fighting game is hard when it is in japanese. Well...not really hard but learning the moves, and especially the story is almost impossible. I can't even begin to imagine how terrible playing a FF in japanese would be.

It is somewhat similar to FFVIII in the scifi(I'm fond of 8 so it doesn't bother me) and I agree about the gameplay. It looks FFIsh...but it feels more vibrant...I can't wait to learn the details.

A lot of the hardcore fans will order the Japanese version of the game so that they can play it early, even if they can't understand the dialogue. You're free to do the same if you wish, there are Japanese websites that ship overseas.
As far as the Sci Fi goes, been lingering since FFVI. FFVII had a large Sci Fi element to it, as did VIII. FFVI enjoyed a happy medium of some sci fi aspects within a fantasy setting.
It's always been that way. Square is localized in Japan, they make the games in Japanese first, just be happy we started getting them here regularly, there was a time when we wouldn't even be getting each FF game, many skipped release here in the states.
It makes sense to do it this way rather than making Japanese gamers wait while they translate the game. If it's finished and ready to go in Japan no reason why they shouldn't release it.
