Hearts R was a special case; it got a VERY limited western release and (in America and Canada) was ONLY distributed through Gamestop/EB Games. This was done to minimize losses from poor sales and low interest—through spending as little on localization as possible and deliberately minimizing the scope of the release (this was also why it did not get a dub).

For me, personally, I know enough Japanese that importing and playing GE2RB/GER in Japanese wouldn't be a hindrance to me, especially since, with GER, I already know the story.

And yeah... there just isn't a market for JRPGs in the west, comparatively speaking. Combine that with the positively bang-up job (sarcasm) that Sony did with marketing the Vita in the west, and, well... the only big-name titles we've gotten for the Vita, JRPG-wise, have been... Persona 4 Golden and that's it. There's also stuff like Dragon's Crown, Muramasa Rebirth, and the Neptunia games, but P4G was system seller levels of sales and popularity.
