I'd like to say that it's their problem if they're too uneducated to play the English versions, but sadly that's not how it works. You lose sales if only half of the population can understand your product and that is why northern Europe always has to wait for French, German, Spanish and Italian localizations even if we would be perfectly fine with the US versions. Yes, I'm bitter. But that still doesn't explain why anything Japanese is such a taboo in Europe. Hell, even shuriken (throwing stars) are banned in Europe. Instead of giving us the US version of Disgaea they actually had to remove the optional Japanese audio from it. It doesn't make sense! And then we have Ninja Gaiden and some other ninja games before it where shuriken have been replaced by throwing knives. How the hell are they any better? Who makes these retarded decisions anyway? |

I think Japanese dub is more of an anime thing. So most gamers don't really care either way and just let things slide (aka let the policy makers do whatever). |

This game is worthy of the hype. I'm about 15hrs into it but its damn hard to put down, and the graphics are best I've seen in an RPG. I think this is what all MMORPG fans have been waiting for, cause it has the gameplay to go with an actual story. If it weren't for papers and exams I'd be playing this all day...

Oh dear, I hope Square-Enix doesn't bother to dub this RPG with British accents. No offense to the English, but their voices don't fit the circumstances. I think the FFX dub was rather okay, but the best dubbing work of Square has to be Kingdom Hearts (and its subsequent sequel), largely due to the affiliation with Disney. What they should consider doing is taking a page out of NipponIchi's book and providing dual audio tracks. That would honestly be the icing on the cake, personally. NipponIchi's dubbing is rather strong, as well.
I'm glad this game's doing so well. It's nice to see the Final Fantasy franchise rise from the four year hiatus, and even better to see the product live up to the hype (especially in this day and age of overhype and underdeliver - and yes, I'm looking in your direction, Grandia III and Radiata Stories). |

Am I the only one turned off by the fact that the main character in FF12 looks like a girl? I mean really look at him! http://www.ffshrine.org/ffxii/wallpapers/14.jpg
Why couldn't they have just made him an actual girl instead of a girly man? |

LOL Zhemos. Square has been into "Metrosexual" males for quite some time already. Although I have to agree that FFXII lead DOES look like a girl this time around, instead of bishie.

The PS2 is already so very outdated. I'd have preferred FFXII on the Xbox, but unfrotunately SE is loyal to Sony so I'll have to settle for inferior graphics. |
