Final Fantasy 12 (I know this thread is 2 years late)
Jackie Blue:
You know, I really fucking wish video game developers would wrap their brains around the fact that people want the option to have the original Japanese voices. I'm not a raging Japanophile (actually I kind of am, but not in a stupid way) but it's just an honest fact that at least half the time the Japanese VAs sound better. Granted, FF10 and 12 actually have very good voice casts (ESPECIALLY Balthier, oh man, I keep rushing to get to cutscenes on the off chance he'll say something deliciously witty, he's like the fucking Oscar Wilde of video games) but I really wish that FF13 will have that option, since I'm guessing it will ship on a blu-ray disc, I have no idea how they could fit the insane amount of video content I'm assuming it will have on a DVD.
Oh and am I the only one who thought that Larsa was Ashe pretending to be male the first time he showed up? I'll admit I'd had a few beers at the time but I was genuinely confused for a minute there.
Cartilage Head:
They only include features like that in games that are made by companies who care about their customers, so don't get your hopes up.
Storm Rider:
To be fair, it's really hard for companies to fit both voice tracks on a DVD. The only reason NIS can do it is because they're still using the same kinda shitty sprites that looked dated in 2004. I mean, I like NIS games and all, but the visuals sure aren't taking up much space.

Oh my god you did not just say that. Tidus made me want to put my eardrums out whenever he opened his mouth.
Speaking of 13, is anyone else as excited as I am that it's not going to be a Sony exclusive? As for the Japanese track option, I have my hopes up as Squeenix have something of a rivalry with Mistwalker, who have so far consistently included dual language tracks on their Xbox releases. Perhaps my hopes are farfetched, but I'm sticking to 'em.
Cartilage Head:
See though, while the voices were awful, they matched the characters perfectly, because the characters themselves were awful in FFX. Tidus is extremely whiny and annoying, therefore a whiny and annoying voice matches him perfectly.
