If it's CPU Vs CPU it's anyone's game. If it's player skill oriented, Long, Shenlong, and Uriko are absolutely broken. God I miss this game. Money on Gado smashing faces to bits though.

This is unacceptable. I should not be devoting this much time for an eroge...and enjoying this much as an RPG. I CAN'T GO IN PUBLIC AND PLAY THIS!! This is the kind of stuff I read when I come home from a long day at work, and I want to relax the rest of my nights...

Spoiler some of that content, as old as the game is --believe it or not-- people don't know what happens in this game. Don't ruin it for them, even if it's 5 years old.
Anyways, I burned at least 30 hours grinding out missions and farming Phoenix Downs and SP for Materia Fusion, my god do I hate and love that system.

The issue is that, when they're dubbing games rather than leaving the original audio with subtitles --which they already are implementing for hearing impaired players-- it takes more time, and if I'm not mistaken more money to pay for dubbing, and track swapping/editing.
But this was is what they've said;
"Tales of Xillia includes the English dub, but not Japanese track. We offer our apology to the fans who were waiting for this feature, but we have been forced to make this difficult choice in order to devote our resources to critical issues which directly impact the development of the entire series Tales of the EMEA territories"
Think of it this way, when I played Crisis Core in English, and got to the ending I thought
"Man, they did the voices pretty well."
Then I played it again and watched the ending in Japanese and thought
"Nevermind, what the hell was I thinking before..."
I don't want to sound like one of those people that believe Japanese audio is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but the original audio is typically the best. Great adaptations of dubs in general include the DMC series, and Cowboy Bebop the anime(coming off the top of my head).
You don't watch an English dub of a Chinese martial arts movie, it's hilarious. It's the whole issue of what's lost through translation. The Japanese language has different body language and mannerisms.
When I was younger, a decade maybe ago, I bought .hack/infection with my brother, and beat the game. About 2 years ago I beat it again, but I discovered the Japanese Audio option, and I felt like I was playing a completely different game. I appreciated the characters voices more.
Dubbing was never a 'buy the game or leave it' deal for me though. I choose whether or not to support the company, and a little bad voicing never ruined anything(other than DmC..) for me.
Also, Namco Bandai games done quite alot of Dual Audio/Japanese Audio games in the past, and recently.
.Hack Infection/Mutation/Outbreak/Quarantine
One Piece: Pirate Warriors
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
Project X Zone will have its Japanese Audio(Although this is understandable with it's absolutely enormous roster..)
I'm sure there's more, but that's off the top of my head.

Meh. Stopped playing the Crash Bandicoot franchise when Naughty Dog sold it. It just didn't feel the same.Yeah, I stopped caring because it wasn't made by Naught Dog. So, my last Crash game was Warped and CTR.
Yep, same here. I heard Naughty Dog's making a horror-survival game right now... "The last of us", I think. Can't wait for it :D
Hope Naughty Dog sees what has become of their beloved "Naughty Dog" and reconsider taking him back :(
Not related to the thread, but...
Spoiler:
If you haven't seen it yet, it's basically Resident Evil done correctly this time around. I'd provide the original link, but I can't find it, as it is in Chinese. I've played the Alpha/current build of the game, I have to say it's pretty fucking amazing/hard. In its current build those things are lethal in a single touch. It looks and you'd think it plays like Uncharted, but it really is almost nothing like it and it's amazing for it.
Anyways, somewhere in my heart; I believed all the characters of Crash were able to put aside their differences and drive Go-karts equipped with explosives and such and live in peace & harmony. At least that's the lie I told myself to keep myself from wanting another real crash game ever.
First Trailer for NA EU Localization.
However, like all other Tales games, this game has been confirmed that it will not have Dual Audio.
http://www.explosion.com/24047/tales-of-xillia-wont-receive-dual-language-option/
They seem really adamant about not having the native voice option.
Although it may not be a complete deal-breaker with the loss of Japanese VOs, I'm grateful enough we're seeing a NA Localization. Worse comes to worse, it can't be as bad as Graces f was.

Currently playing steins;gate. As expected form the original, it has even more sparks than the anime, and the anime was already good.Zolnir wrote...
Shizuru's route also have more CGs that were put to better use as compared to the other routes. Some of them just made me felt tears and Clannad when the scene played out. I never understood the great amount of rejection I got from the vndb forums (lazy to argue with them) when I told them that.Btw Zolnir, do you know what exactly is this 'good memories'?
I'd also like to add to Zolnir's post on 'good memories'
Spoiler:
This reboot is actually one of the main reasons Crash was NOT in Play-Station All-Stars. Crash was the most desired character in All-Stars, and I was sad to see it not happen.
Here's a leaked image of his reboot.
He just isn't the same.

No, Spoiler:
Also, what do you think of Shizuru's route? I personally think it's the best out of all the heroines (in terms of presentation), but why on earth people keeping dissing about it?
*Facepalm* You're right, I completely gapped that one detail.
Spoiler:
You too? I actually love Shizuru's route. It seemed the most pure route of the game. At the same time, it's the only route outside of Terra(technically),
Spoiler:
Just finished Rewrite's "Terra" route. By far, this is probably the best route in the game given so far. Akane/Lucia's might be in for a tie, and Moon is a bit behind.
The reason I liked Terra so much has to be because of Esaka's character in this route.
However, there's one thing that actually confuses me, so anyone that has completed Rewrite 100% can click the spoiler. I'm genuinely confused about Terra, despite it being such a much better route than the others.

I've always been a fan of Snoop Dogg as a CHARACTER, not as a musician. Ever since Futurama and especially in Boondocks playing Macktastic, he's been an interesting character I've grown to like.
I've always LOVED rhythm games, DDR, Beatmania, Osu!~, Bust-a-Groove, wasn't a fan of PIU or those variants, but if there's a beat and rhythm I'm always willing to give it a shot. Hell there's this one game on the Wii that's a rhythm game, but I can't find the name, it's like Tempo Fever or something.
Think of it as a first-person Espionage game, where stealth is an extremely important factor to the game.
I was always a fan of Thief, as it felt (As a bad comparison) sort of like a Medieval Metal Gear Solid, since that's truly the only other espionage game I've ever played AND enjoyed.
Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully this doesn't get butchered like DmC's reboot.

Every night of every day, before I go to bed I tend to read Visual Novels until I fall asleep. Today I just remembered that I finished Kanon last night(Very Early this morning?) and before I can start a new one, I need to move a copy of the VN to my ExT HD because my Netbook has shit worth of space, and the Ext HD is not in my possession for a few days, so tonight I will have to reread a route to pass the time to go to sleep.
