I didn't say not to buy it. But the fans really have to fight back if they want their way.

I gotta call bullshit that man, VA adds a lot to the story A LOT. I would not playing DDS without the VA seriously. the VA in DDS is bloody fantastic and it makes the characters more alive.FateBreaker said:No, honestly no.
The people that honestly care are the ones that know how awesome it is in the Japanese version; spoiled, perhaps. It'd be NICE to have it and no censoring of blood and crap, but I'm not basing the purchase of a potentially awesome game on that. I'm thankful for what I get -- even with their cheap-ass budget Namco has.
Kulock said:For instance, I've heard that part of the fun of Namco vs. Capcom is the dialogue, and some of it gets raunchy or rough. You know it'd all be watered-down by the time it got here, that is if Namco would even bother to bring it over. But they won't, because the audience would be too small, and they wouldn't let anyone else try even if they wanted to.

seriously I dont get how you can defend something like this, you get a crappy version for 40 bucks how can you be happy about that?
and that low budget excuse is bullshit how come atlus a much smaller company than Namco USA delivered one of the best VA in JRPGs ever with DDS1/2? it's not about low budget it's about Namco USA not GIVING A SHIT about it's fans.
duckroll said:See here's the biggest problem I have with people like you. By NOT caring about the quality of a localization, and saying you're happy to have it in the first place, you're doing a HUGE injustice to people that actually put good time, effort and money into making a good localization. Are you saying that Atlus, Square Enix, and even Capcom these day, are totally WASTING THEIR TIME putting in more effort into localizations? I mean since you don't care at all, they must be!

LegatoB said:Oh no, it's quite clear SCEA will allow it if you're in good with them. Or are them. And I've seen nothing to indicate they've ever tried to get it in there in Japanese. Or tried just dubbing all the damn dialog.
LegatoB said:I can and will compare them all I like! If an E is not enough for the game, give it an E10+ or a Teen (which is what most RPGs get ANYWAY). Hell, if a game's really got that much violent content, M will easily cover it (and no one is buying Xenosaga anyway, so who cares if it's M? )

ruby_onix said:You're confusing "bought" with "enjoyed".
I know you're probably joking, and thus my post will end up being lame, but I think Sony pushed it back intentionally, due to FFXII and the PS3 launch; they know the game can do well, so they don't want to squander it against too much competition.duckroll said:By Dec 2006, all the titles except Rogue Galaxy will have been released in the US! What's going on Sony! :lol

Joe Molotov said:Fight back how? With boycotts? Yeah, I'm sure that's going to work. If enough people don't buy it, they just won't release anymore. Or maybe we could start an online petition!
SantaC said::lol
kinda true though. Less sales = no more games brought over.
They don't need enough space for two dubs. The English dub is only a fraction of one.LoathsomeCorpse said:I doubt there's enough room on the disc to allow for both languages, given the amount of spoken dialogue in the game. And if you're talking about leaving in only Japanese, then forget it. SCEA won't allow it.
duckroll said:There are so many other options available this Fall, I don't see why anyone would allow themselves to be held hostage by a stupid 5th rate loser company like Namco Hometek. Well then again since none of their RPGs really sell, I guess it's only a small tiny silly percentage of gamers that enjoy self abuse. :lol
Kusagari said:I am damn pissed and fed up at Namco USA for continuing to do this. I don't even want to hear that 'budget' crap. You're going to tell me NIPPON ICHI can afford quality voice actors but a huge company like Namco can't?
ruby_onix said:They don't need enough space for two dubs. The English dub is only a fraction of one.
And if the Japanese disc is packed so full that it can't fit that fraction of an English dub, they should just make an even smaller fraction dub. Everyone would win that way.

Lain said:To me, this thread is a testimony that the American Tales of fans enjoy poo, and they say thanks after eating it too.
Quite interesting.
Link1110 said:OK, as for if they could fit both dubs on the disc.
The japanese version of the game is 4.05gb
The voice file in that game is .99gb.
Depending on how much of the voice acting the skits occupy, it may be possible.
Bebpo said:One thing I have always said as a way to get around SCEA's bullshit "you must have an english track" is to do the English is the lowest quality 9kbs Realaudio quality that you can. So that at most it takes up a 100 megs.
But of course the biggest issue with 2 language tracks are that it requires REAL PROGRAMMING to change all the voice clips from one set to the other during gameplay. Localization companies don't really have the time or budget for this part. Which is why even if there is enough space for both tracks, most of the time you still only get the dub.
Beezy said:Let me get this straight...
If we buy the game, Namco Hometek will continue on with their crappy localizations and duckroll will laugh at us.
If we don't buy the game, Namco Hmetek will stop localizing the Tales games period and I doubt that they'll let anyone else localize it.
WHAT THE **** IS AN ENGLISH SPEAKING TALES FAN TO DO?!!!

duckroll said:Why bother? Just another worthless Scamco game with removed content and a spit on your face. Do you silly Namco fans in the US like being insulted or something? :lol
SantaC said:I waited since last december on it, and I am more hyped about this than FF12.
