... isn't there an option for the original japanese voices!? This is horrible.

It LOOKS great though.

Lavalamp4672d ago

Yes there is an option to switch to the original Japanese voice work with subtitles.

Yi-Long4672d ago

Awesome...

That's very good news to hear :) Thanks :)

Canary4672d ago (Edited 4672d ago )

I, for one, don't plan on buying any Nintendo products again. At least not new. I've had it with their bullshit.

tiffac4672d ago

Its salt in our wounds bro ><

D@mnit Reggie WHY?!!!

Xander-RKoS4672d ago

I'm more than willing to bet that one reason why this game isn't being localized in N.America is because the bad voice acting in Arc Rise Fantasia was enough to kill it...so selling JRPG's that don't have the top notch voice acting was just deemed not worth it.

mastiffchild4672d ago

But it was worth it to Sega to release Yakuza games this gen, in the west, just with original Japanese voice acting and subs(which this package includes meaning you'd be expecting US gamers not only to be unable to put up with poor voice acting to play a decent game bit also not put up with the ACTUAL voice acting plus subs)?

With those subs in the UK package of the game I see no reason to think I won't be using that option which I ALWAYS use given the choice(or the very rare cases of amazing localised dibs)and fail to see it as a barrier to anyone wanting to play the game OR anyone, and here's the thing, with a desire to provide said game to my market of loyal consumers who demanded it.

Sure, Reggie wouldn't allow the "dreadful" audio of DDoC to be unleashed on US ears even though it appeared without fanfare at a budget price in the UK but would the bad acting in one game REALLY cause another to be denied the US when subs and original voices are available already? I just fail to see any reason the EU, where I am, get this and the US/NA does not. It's BS from NoA and having also suffered a hell of a roundabout trek just to play Fatal Frame 4 myself I realise it's not limited to them, either,when it comes to localising games this gen. Publishing from NoA of import titles is shoddy at best and must be if we get more in the UK as it's NEVER the way any other time or on any other platform.

tiffac4672d ago

They could ask Atlus for voice acting help. Catherine has great voice actors.

Better yet have Atlus (or NISA or ANYONE!) just release the IP in NA along with Last Story, that would lessen their expenses at least.

Spenok4672d ago

Cries, I really want this game. But my gut feeling is telling me its just not going to happen :(

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj236d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan236d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack235d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj236d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing236d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2

Tetsuya Takahashi Wants The Next Xenoblade To Be Vastly Different From Previous Games

Tetsuya Takahashi has revealed his plan to make the next Xenoblade vastly different from previous games.

GotGame818267d ago (Edited 267d ago )

I liked the Xenoblade X formula. It takes awhile, but opening up Mechs was amazing. Especially once you can fly them, and use them in battle. You have to put some time into the game to do it, but it's worth it!

Also, the graphics were more realistic than the other games. Still looks good today, just a lot more pop-in than is acceptable today, hell even too much for back then. It wasn't game breaking though.

gleepot235d ago

Xenoblade 1-3 and X are so great. That said, I'm ready for them to do a big change up.

Lightning Mr Bubbles601d ago

Me being a Playstation guy and a huge JRPG fan, I can say that the only franchises I actually miss that are on Switch are The Fire Emblem series and The Xenoblade Chronicles series. I've played neither but I've heard good things. I've seen people play Xenoblade Chronicles games on youtube, and it seems like they think it's a big deal so I'm curious.

Rebel_Scum600d ago

As someone who doesnt like jrpg’s that much these days I went into Xenoblade Chronicles blind and had a blast. Reminded me of that golden age of 16-bit and 32-bit jrpgs. If thats the era you liked then it should hit the spot.

jznrpg600d ago

I only have a Switch for the games that don’t come on PlayStation . There aren’t a ton but there are some good ones.

repsahj600d ago (Edited 600d ago )

I agree with top 1, for me xenoblade chronicles 3(and 2) is one of the greatest jrpg to date. It's like the feeling of playing ff7 on ps1 for the first time again. Imagine if XC3 was done with ps5 graphics, that will be magical. I might get the xc remaster before the year ends or after I got the platinum trophy of GoW ragnarok.

jznrpg600d ago

I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .

repsahj600d ago

yeah I agree, but much better than any recent jrpg releases.
