I don't know if this has been brought up on the source yet, but while browsing the forums at MMORPG, I saw a link someone had of a topic over at MMOsite. Apparently, Aion's release in Japan is slated for sometime this summer. Additionally, there is a Japanese trailer which is basically the open beta trailer but all mixed up. Here's to hoping that Japan will get with the game and start using PC's instead of noob PS3's and Wii's.
Heres the link
