Like many, don't like the game, but buying it anyway to show the appreciation towards their support for PC. Anything to get XV on PC.

Final Fantasy XIII on Steam October 9th, $16; full trilogy by Spring 2015
- Thread starter fantomena
- Start date
If you look on GreenManGaming and their page for Final Fantasy XIII, it says this:
The following languages are available for this title:
ROW Package: Audio: English, Text: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish
Asia Package: Audio: English & Japanese, Text: English, Japanese, Chinese & Korean text
It sounds like two different versions to me but I'm not sure. I genuinely can't think of a reason why they would need this. Just have everything in one package.
I'm conflicted about this, because I want Japanese audio but then I remember Fang's Eng voice and I just melt. T_T

Yeah me either. Mayaa never pulls off the cold yet somewhat tough voice like Hillis did. While the point was that it was a bit fake, she still is a mentally focused and tough person. I never feel Mayaa ever achieved this.
Of course Hillis seemed to get shitty in the sequels.
She excellently portrays the dry cardboard-like personality of Lightning. Her getting worse over the course of the next few games was I think directly correlated with the trajectory of Lightning herself.

I'm all in as well bro.
I'm all in! This is one of the things I like showing off the most on the net.
I prefer Hillis too, though I think Maaya did better at LR.

Oh that was you're rationale. Oh well I guess if that works for you, but I don't believe she was a cardboard in FFXIII. She was a cold and detached person, but clearly had reasons for it. She wasn't a strong or engaging enough character to hold all of XIII, but she did'nt so it was ok. Yet, she really had no business being pushed as someone major in the sequels.

You're doing what must be done. Consider this a vote for FFXV on PC and don't feel too ashamed. Feel it a little though.

I just preordered this.
Why the fuck did I preorder this.

Squenix are all like 'but.....everyone hates this game WTF!?' in their offices right now after looking at the steam sales.
Truth be told the big budget JRPG market on steam is a severely under-served market and i imagine people are buying it just for the novelty of it.
This will do really well and i imagine will get people thinking about other JRPGs

I hope so - I am ready to double and triple dip.
Wait, are you sure the Japan/Asia version has no English voices? That would be really stupid!

Um, this is awkward, but is that a Lightning mouse pad with her boobs as wrist supporters?

I'm not really familiar with Sakamoto's work since I rarely watch anime and even if I do I don't usually remember who voices which characters. I found Hillis to be more bland than Hillis though and has less emotional range when it comes to playing Lightning, even though Lightning is not one to show much emotions. I have to say that part of my preference for Sakamoto could stemmed from being exposed to her version of Lightning first before listening to Hillis' version. So that probably affects my view on who plays a better Lightning. Ultimately my preference stems more from me disliking Hillis' Lightning and not because I think that Sakamoto plays the role perfectly.
I'm conflicted. I can't tell if Hope's VA is terrible, or if it's just because I hate every stupid word that comes out of his face.
Well according to the GMG link its english and japanese audio but who knows.
I don't get it though. Under what daft reasons would Square Enix have to not give everyone the same languages ? Fuck sake it's not even like the game is new or anything.

I'd gladly pay for it, because atleast it's an option at that point. And when the other games in the series/ KH potentially come over, I'd want the same dual-audio options there.
I won't comment on who is the 'better' Lightning, because I can't stand any of the characters thanks to the horrible writing (Sazh is dabes though).
I imported it and couldn't even make it back to where I was in the English version, as the localization wasn't the problem; the dialogue was poop from the get-go.

This is really scary but kind of awesome if you were a crazed Lightning/XIII fan.
Are you sure you're not Toriyama?
While I browse steam shop using Japan VPN I get this:
The following Asian languages are supported by the version of this game released for Japan and the rest of Asia.
Subtitles and interface: Japanese, Chinese (traditional), Korean, English
Voiceover: Japanese
So maybe?

Thinking about it I wonder if this comes with that easy mode the Japanese got patched in? I'd be all in for that for a quick play through for story purposes
He's a big whiner at the start and into the middle, he gets 'better' later on. But you'll get tired of the inspirational speeches all the characters give after a while. I almost torre eyes out after the fifth time somebody said "we just have to belive in the path we 're choosing!" and they had to stand there espousing in front of the group

Yeah. She has one of the biggest parts in LR though.
Good eye, yes. A friend got it for me when he was in China, lol

! I've been exposed
Haha, I was thinking maybe it was an optical illusion. Nice collection though.
This'll be my second Final fantasy game, first one being FF14, so I hope I wont be too disappointed.
One reason I can think of would be that this is the absolute minimal effort they're putting into the release, and so instead of taking the chance to use Steam to distribute the right language offerings based on the language selected in the Steam options for the game, they're simply splitting it between regions based on the retail offers they had for the game on PS3/360.
I think the Japanese and English versions of the game use different video files, and also have different songs. So they might just be bone-headed enough to treat it as two different games and are only offering one in each territory.
Kind of a Chrono Trigger vibe. I like it.

This whole thing is random as fuck and I hate Lightning as much as the next guy.... But I never played XIII-2 and this other game I don't want to mention, so I guess there is a chance I'll get this at some point. Price is okish.
This could really be potentially not feasible from a download standpoint.
I remember LR Japanese voice patch was quite huge.I think it was 2~4 GB or so.This could be the reason.
It's totally feasible. Steam allows publishers to set specific optional files to download only when the user selects the languages which require them in the options. If you want to play Bioshock Infinite in Japanese for example, you just have to set the game language to Japanese in Steam, and it'll start downloading all the JP files.
