@TreeFrog – Thanks for the correction. I’ve only played OD in Japanese with Japanese text so I wasn’t aware there was an English language option. No wonder Atlus went back to update the story.

The Japanese version has full English text for everything (including the story) but no English voice acting.
However the translation is really bad, so it’s a good thing that Atlus have rewritten it.

@Aoshi00 – Hmm.. I haven’t tried that trick yet… maybe I should! The voice acting isn’t that bad though except for Cynthia. I was thinking is she faux-Irish something in then I looked up her profile and she was! I know the JPN version has English text for the menus and weapon names, but for the story it’s in Japanese.

If I’m not mistaken, I think the Jpn version has full Eng. txt right, or just the basic commands.. If the US version really left out the Jpn track due to the necessary changes it’s a pity since it is region free for me.

Wow, thanks for looking up on this Spence! So you can’t even bring out the Jpn track even if you switch the Xbox’s language setting before loading the game? The reason I asked is I couldn’t get the Jpn track from the demo despite setting the system’s language to Jpn, and it usually works w/ other games, like Sonic, Project Sylpheed, etc.

Not that I’m picky about English voice acting, especially it fits better given the WW II setting, but sometimes the fake accent is a little cheesy and distracting.. I held out for the US release thinking it would feature both tracks, now I need to consider which version to get since the Jpn version also features complete Eng. text.

Thanks for the info again, very helpful!
