Why is the Japanese voice such a big deal? Didn't square do a good job with the the English voice-over ?
Yeah, they did extremely well, and i even prefer the overall English VO compared to its Japanese counterpart.
But unfortunately, that's just how it is these days, people going nutso for Japanese voice-acting and giving terrible excuses as to why they prefer it. Example: I'd rather listen to terrible dialogue that i don't understand but will read subtitles about, then to listen to terrible dialogue in a language i do understand but without the aid of subtitles.
I understand that point to some extent, such as in regards to pronunciation errors and so on, but some people can't seem to just plain ol' admit that they just like it in Japanese better. Even seems like an excuse as they're ashamed to admit it (??).
I might have my arguments when it comes to voice acting and the blatant "this VO and nothing else" affair it often spurs
but in the end, everyone has there preferences and the best thing we could hope for is that we're always given the choice if its indeed possible/available.
So this release is good news for those keen to experience it with its original VO's.
