I do not really wish for any game from Japan to be realeased in English. I am a person who is totally against translating things, because it changes the text a little, especially when translating from two different language groups.
So I for me the choice is, to learn Japanese which I am currently doing. And i have to admit, having played FF IX to the beginning of the second CD(cannot continue playing in the moment, sadly) and it feels even better than for the first time, when I played it in German.
