For a person who perfers the original Japanese version of a video game no matter what and would never want to put up with the butchered English versions of games ever again. I hope for your sake atleast, that it becomes available in English, but it more than likly never going to happend, since most Japanese based games get ignored unless its a RPG or something.
But like I said, I've played a decent amount of Japanese based video games like Tales of Symphonia, Zatchbell Mamodo Battles, One Piece, Megaman Legends and not only did some video games not keep the original Japanese names etc, games like Zatchbell Mamodo Battles was unplayable compared to the original Japanese version Konjiki no Gash Bell Tag Team Battle which was even easier even though it was in all Japanese.
This was because the Japanese version was easier to play and alowed you to charge freely to cast a spell where in the North America version you were forced to do the complete oposite, instead you had to attack your enemy to get energy to cast a spell and this caused the fights to not last as long in the North America version like it would in the original Japanese version.
Also, not being able to have the original Japanese voices as a option on all the video games I mentioned, was a big let down, I had to import Gash Bell, cause I couldn't put up with the English version Edits/Changes, they even took out characters and attacks on the English version.
I also hate how they don't tranlate certain Japanese text and just delete it for no good reason at all, great example of this is Money Idol Exchanger, which was changed to Money Puzzle Exchanger for no reason also, when sent to America and Europe.
Well do what you want and like I said, I hope its released in English for your sake, but don't expect every thing to be in it like the original Japanese version. Because they tend to take the original stuff out of Japanese based games even to this day, I don't even think FURU FURU PARK had the original Japanese song in the opening for the English version.
I don't understand Japanese or this wall of text.
I hear ya on that one. I took 1st year Japanese and I'm still terrible at Japanese. Going back to the topic... I don't think it really matters if you get the real Japanese game or the english version. People want to play the game because of it's content. I wouldn't care if the voice actors sucked, that's what the volume control is for. If the game is fun, then regardless of the other characteristics it has, it shouldn't be a problem to the gamer.
Actually I do think it matters, mainly because I perfer the original Japanese voices and the game in all Japanese since I like the way Japanese is written and sounds which is probable why your so terrible at Japanese, you think of it as a language, but I think of it as more than that and learning Japanese is a goal for me wheither I continue video gaming or not, so unlike you, I'll never give up, no matter how hard something is, if its a goal, I'll continue until complete.
If you would have taken the time to read my post well, you would have realized stuff I said was taken out of the original Japanese version as far as content, so in other words, yes people are more concered about the content, but you fail to understand that some English version of games have less content than the original Japanese version, thus making it unplayable compared to the original Japanese version in some cases. I even gave a good example of this on my post that you paid no mind to and thought nothing more than a stupid wall of text.
Also, you don't know what people want, for example, you don't know what i want as a gamer. I want to be able to buy a Japanese based game in America and swith the text to English Text & English Voicing/Japanese Text & Japanese Voicing, but no video game will ever support this but some. Also, its not about the voice actors sucking or not, it just I perfer the original Japanese voices, since I have interest in the Japanese language, but you fail to understand that.
Lol, I was more worried about getting the credit than actually being so "in depth" in trying to learn the language. Learning the language to get one step closer to graduating highschool is one thing. Learning it to gain the experience is another. Most, if not almost all games are originated from Japan. I don't have anything bad to comment on your goal of learning Japanese, and I don't even intend to comment because it could start a flame war.
Some people don't always "like" the Japanese content anyways in other continents. Probably that's why the translators change it up a bit. It doesn't make it "unplayable" it just means there's less content. Lols I agree that I didn't read the entire wall post, but that doesn't give you the right to automatically label me as someone who thought of your text as a "stupid wall of text".
Obviously I don't know what you want, nor does the creators of the game. They can't tend to everyone's need, they can only satisfy so many people. You sure like to act like a teacher and "fail" people at things they aren't good at. So you're good in Japanese, hurray. Not all people are going to learn japanese to play the original game. If they miss out on content due to the translators changing up the game, it's not anyone's fault, they're just getting a lesser game of the original. People don't always get what they want, and what if people in different countries don't want the original Japanese actors? Hence the volume control is used to mute them.
