Man, be happy we even got the game. I hate it when people complain about Dubs vs Subs war. Adding voices to video games was the worst mistake in gaming history. People become too lazy to read, complain about a voice not fitting the character. Complain that Dubs breaks their immersion. It's really sickening to be honest. Westerners have no right to complain about a game that was originally released for a certain country. Don't like how the game was handle? Go buy it in the original language. Don't understand the language? Too bad.
does that mean that every english movie was released for a certain country? and others should be happy they can even watch it?
sorry, but XIV wasn't released for only japan, it was released for most of the world, since there's sub and dub in multiple languages, and it was released at the same time, world-wide.
japanese ppl don't have any more right to complain than westerners. everyone that play the game, has the right to their opinions, and so does ppl that don't even play it.
there's translation teams...why are they even working as translators, if they can't even translate correctly? why wouldn't we have any right to complain about that the story we get is different from what was intended?
it's ridiculous to tell ppl to buy the game in original language, or stfu; they have localization teams for the very reason, to make the game available and enjoyable to everyone around the world. if they had intended to only release the game for japan, they wouldn't have bothered with localization, or releasing the game elsewhere, and enforced IP restrictions.
She reminds me a bit of the actress who played Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years"...
I kinda don't like Yugiri, the white haired girl SE shows in Au'ra revelation is more beautiful.
Yes, I do in fact.
That's cool, but again. This game is made from JP devs, there will be biases in it. As for being released outside of JP, that's the localization team's job to decide how they they want the characters to sound or speak.Quote:

True, but anything outside a worldwide release, no I don't agree. As for people who don't play it, no. If you bought a product, then your are entitled to your opinion or if the Dev is looking for feedback. Meaning, you would have had to played or watched the product in the first place.Quote:

It's because they aren't a translation team, they are a localization team. There is a difference.Quote:

When they localize a game, they word the sentences in a way they feel the average American will understand. Sure they get creative like with Midgar, but honestly I'm fine with that. JP translations are sometimes bland and I feel are all the same after awhile. Lolis, Generals, Teens all sound the same sometimes and lack some characteristics to them. This is my opinion and I know some people don't like that. That's fine as everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but thankfully we don't have to always listen to them.Quote:

You're right, I totally agree.Quote:

I was thinking Delen from Babylon 5.
This. Didnt say anything before since its an obvious desperate troll looking for attention but I did find it ironic how some random idiot on the forums of a japanese video game, based on a japanese IP, goes on to insult someone for referencing ONE character from ONE single japanese anime (and quite popular) with a derogatory word used for people who are obsessed with Japan to the point of dressing, acting, talking, and consuming everything Japanese.
"You saw an anime!?! Lawl, look at the weeb!"
