Japanese Voice on FFXIII for America

Will the american version of FFXIII have japanese voice acting because I'll rather read subtitles than listening to corny english dubs.

Up that. Personally I think Japanese puts the most effort into voice-acting when it comes to their own games and animation, so I always perfer original voice-acting whenever possible. Side-note: I perfer English voice-acting over Japanese when it come to western games though, so don't get me wrong, I'm not a ***-fan or something, I just felt that depending on the origin of the game, it is best served with it's own language.

Maybe we should all email Square to let them know we, as consumers, want *** voiceover with english subs. This way is more effective to get them release it in such a way that satisfies our demand.

I could care less about the language, but it would still be nice for the Japanese voices to be included. I like to use the English voices for my first playthrough and then switch to the Japanese ones on my 2nd playthrough. It's not a big deal to me though if they aren't included.

well they better put the option in the game, im sure it would fit on a blu ray disc :)psyum

Well yeah obviously it'll have English dub.

Wishful thinking. That would mean that the English version would need to essentially DOUBLE the number of audio files for voices - space on the disc they can't spare, especially since memory will be more of a problem on the 360 DVDs, let alone the Blu-Ray disc once it goes NA/PAL.hazelnutman

ya...we should all contact Square Enix to include Japanese voice acting with english subtitles. They should even just keep it in Japanese but change the written things to english for North American version. That way, we get to play the game sooner :D

Japanese is overrated...

I also will never understand the want for Japanese dubs over English dubs. I'd much rather listen to badly done english voice acting that I can actually understand then Japanese gibberish that I can't understand a word of. And whose to say most Japanese dubs are done well? Anyone who doesn't speak Japanese already couldn't possibly have a valid opinion on it. And not all English voice acting is bad. I'll grant you that there have been some bad ones, but you can't completely generalize it like that. FFXII had excellent english dubs.

[QUOTE="samuraiguns"][QUOTE="hazelnutman"] I'm just basing my theory off of SquareEnix's previous FF titles. It's totally possible, but less likely because a game of this magnitude (the demo alone took over 5 GBs) will have less space available for extra features such as a COMPLETELY different voice track, than something like Eternal Sonata. But while I'm a hostage, can I be put on a leather leash and chained onto a pole in a naughty position?hazelnutman

I am foreign to the action of "tap." How does one "tap?"

Well they should have that option for everyone's satisfaction

To be honest, I'm not really fond of subititles. I love taking in the surroundings in the game/movie and I feel robbed by being forced to read the dialog. Yes, some english dubs are horrible, but some I can get past or ignore.

Though, I just wish I knew Japanese and it would be a whole world of easy lol

I believe in power of Blu-Ray!!!!!

we should get Japanese voice option. No excuse. Even red necks should agree that more options are better.
