why doesnt ms just put the jap voices on xbl as dl content like they done with naruto. because in my opinion adding the jap voices well just make things worse. eg dumb graphics, shorter gameplay, cut scenes, more discs etc...or i could be wrong:P

the trophies don't have the cool webapi that allows us to have gamercard sites like the 360 does though, does it? i was under the impression the trophies where more of a closed system. (i could be completely wrong, don't take what i said as fact)

don't get me wrong, the 360 achievements aren't as open as i would like. you could do some COOL stuff with that kind of information if ms would open up the api to regular users.

 There've been "trophy sites" since before trophies were officially supported. Recently, they've implemented a "trophy tracker" that automatically looks at your gamertag and checks out your trophies.

I dont know about the gamercard site type things you can do with achievements. I know i get trophies and i can view my friends trophies and compare and all that though.
I guess its not a big deal to me because even on my 360 i never really cared for achievements. I had a 360 since launch and ive only got up to around 1500 gamerscore

The best and cheapest way for them to do this would be to put the voices on Xbox Live as DLC, as Microsoft charges developers extra, per disc, if a game is over 2 or 3 discs.

Also remember that there will not be a Japanese version released on the Xbox 360, as the PS3 version will be exclusive in japan

mmmhh, please for the love of god/buddah/allah/whatever put in the Japanese voices.

I refuse to play any Japanese made game that has english voices. Still have nightmares from Tales of Symphonia on Gamecube.

Problem is that most times they hire noname people, probobly grabbing them as they walk by on the street for it. These people have zero talent, no idea how to make their voice fit the situation and so on. Its just horrible. Removes -all- feeling from the game and makes it stale. Just sucks.

Mass Effect is one of the few games that actually have good VA's. But they also put in alot of money for thoose actors.

For this game, just take the Japanese version and add the english text to it and voila. Game done.
I rather not pay the extra money for the english voices...

I prefer all my Japanese Anime and Chinese Kung-fu movies in their original language with English Subtitles.  I know i'm not alone.

sorry, chinese kung-fu movies (the old ones) have to be in english. they're funny. i watched kung-fu (gung-fu?) growing up here in the bay area on channel 26. they were great.

2 blu-ray discs? you are aware your talking about over 50Gb's of data? are you aware that most PS3 games use padding and minimum compression, and can be compressed to about 2/10th of its size? and are you aware that creating over 50Gb's of data would cost the developers millions of dollars, causing them to blow there budget and minimize any potential profit?

sorry, but 2 blu-ray discs is unfeasible, and wont happen.

To my opinion FF:X on PS2 was performed very well in English. I was really taking into the story line. Given I have not played a newer FF since then, I have lots of confidence that Square Enix will out do them selves again.
