Japanese dialogue in PS3 Blu-ray Last Remnant teased

Square Enix has teased fans over the possibility of including the original Japanese dialogue in the PS3 version of inbound JRPG The Last Remnant.

The Xbox 360 version of the game, described by Square Enix president as "the cornerstone" of its worldwide strategy, is due out on Thursday, with PS3 and PC versions planned but without a release date.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com during an interview with the development team in Tokyo, dialogue editor Yuji Isogawa said "we'll see" in response to a question about the possibility of including the original Japanese voice over work in the PS3 version.

Sorry people but "we will see" means "not happening".

They are Square enix after all. Why do people still interview SE.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5668d ago

I mean....it IS coming out i 2 days...do reviewers just expect us to go by the skimpy gameplay. I NEEDS FEEDBACK.

Foxgod5668d ago

dvd has the space too, game came on 2 dvd's if they would be dying to insert jap dialog, they could cram a third disc in.

Bonsai12145668d ago

i've wanted japanese devs to do this for ages. why not include the japanese track with an english sub..

callahan095668d ago

I agree: there is NO REASON not to. If they don't put it in, especially knowing that people want it, then they are doing it either to be pricks on purpose or because they are lazy. I hope they are neither and they utilize the disc space and put both languages on.

Yep another reason that BD was a very relevant media format to have in the PS3. I see many games coming from Japan recently that have had both an English and Japanese voicetrack. I was a bit sketchy on Valkyria Chronicles, but low and behold not only did SEGA include a Japanese language track the game has a damned DTS soundtrack as well! As a home theatre enthusiast I was overjoyed to have a full on DTS soundtrack so I can pipe the wonderful 1.5mbps audio through my A/V receiver. For those that are wondering, Dolby Digital has an encoded bitrate of 640kbps, that's twice the quality of CD audio. DTS is over twice that quality. Thanks for Blu-ray Sony! It might have raised the price of my PS3 some but I'm happy to have paid for it. It makes for a true HD experience. I wonder if developers would ever start using DTS-HD 7.1 Master Audio? *salivates and wrings hands in anticipation*

kevnb5668d ago (Edited 5668d ago )

Im not sure what Resistance 2 uses, but its definitely 7.1 and atleast 5 mb/s. Anyone that rates Resistance 2 sound less than 9.5/10 is crazy.

SaiyanFury5668d ago

@kevnb

Resistance 2 also uses a DTS track, something I noticed when the little DTS icon popped on when I loaded up the beta. Damn that game has some slick sound. I have no way of measuring the bitrate, but I'd assume it's around the same. If you could provide a reliable reference, I'd be grateful.

barom5667d ago

I think a big reason why it would be somewhat difficult to do both languages, is the lip syncing. I mean they would need to have two seperate sets of animations.

I really do hope we'll get Japanese voices though, that would've been awesome (love my Yakuza 2 copy).

No point i can't see anyone buying a ps3 version.

solidjun55668d ago

no point of you having them since all you say is dumb things.

kenshin22up5668d ago

SE can put the dialogue on XBL as DLC just like Naruto Rise of a Ninja.

kenshin22up5668d ago

yes it was free, and lulz @ the disagrees

SaiyanFury5668d ago

That's a great alternative way to do it. Provided you don't own one of the 200 dollar Arcade units. Then you're pretty much boned.

StephanieBBB5668d ago

Additional dlc would be nice.

Simon_Brezhnev5668d ago

well not every 360 owner has internet so they should include it on the dvd

While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.

Gaming4Life19811581d ago

Star Ocean 5 was garbage and I was a huge star ocean fan.

Docmortem1581d ago

Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.

solideagle1581d ago

I personally have not played any game below 80 and thought wow this should have been 80-90 game. The only game I thought should have been 90 was Shadow Hearts II: Covenant. I am pretty sure there will be some games but average score usually is pretty good indication.

do you recommend any JRPG which you think were good/amazing but it didn't score well? I just purchased Tokyo xanadu but it seems way too slow like trails game but trail at least has good story. I will give it a shot

rainslacker1581d ago

I think there were quite a few JRPG games that got hit with lower meta scores last gen when all these reviewers were on their anti-anime tropes kick. Not that they should get up there into the high 80s or 90s, but they weren't 60-70 games either.

That's mostly died off this gen, thankfully

WickedLester1581d ago

Ni No Kuni 2 is way better than it's metascore.

solideagle1581d ago

I think Ni No Kuni 2 combat is pretty generic but if you add all DLCs then its combat is pretty awesome. I purchased the complete edition so I can say DLC changes the combat completely

FinalAeonX1581d ago

Ni no Kuni 1 is way better than its metascore

Father__Merrin1581d ago

meta scores are rubbish best ignore them. many gems out there

solideagle1581d ago (Edited 1581d ago )

can you please name few?

Kocurstvo1580d ago (Edited 1580d ago )

Useless to argument troll, but e.g. Eat Lead is hilarious and extremely funny, yet mediocre on metastupids.... Lords of the Fallen, Strange brigade... I could name hundreds

It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
