[QUOTE="Chutebox"] Actually that's the only thing that has been confirmed.Chutebox

We're not getting Japanese voice actors because Square isn't about to push the game back just so they can include two versions of every cutscene.

It was just the voice overs. They themselves said they didn't include it because it would be unfair to the 360 owners.

They would have to include the whole cutscenes twice over and a cutscene system surrounding it because the animations are also being changed. Because the animations are being changed it means that each scene would have to be inlcuded twice over and that's just ridiculous.

They cited is as one reason among many that it might not be a good idea. They never said that it was their reason for not including it. Their first response was "people want that!?"

The lips don't have to match it, they could just fit the VO over the English acting. They plain out said that's why they didn't include, unless everyone got ir wrong.

we do know it for a fact, the game didn't change in scope, or graphics from the early stuff we were shown.WilliamRLBaker
How do you know that for a fact? One year developing such a huge game means very little because well, it is a huge game. If you're familiar with software development, you can include major changes in many phases of development not just at design time (happens a lot when requirements suddenly change), they could re-design parts of the game to adapt it specially if it is lowering texture and sound quality for example. That wouldn't affect the development process in a significant way but would definitely affect the outcome.

I can't find the link I'm thinking so you might be right.

That reasoning makes no sense. Look at it in reverse...why wouldn't they release two unequal versions? The 360 gives them a convienent excuse to simple make the following more acceptable: They real reason there is no dual audio is because if there was you wouldn' have to buy it as paid DLC. It's that simple.

Sony should push for some kind of bonus for buying the PS3 version of FF13 like giving you something extra when playing FF13 versus. Who agrees?
