Different Region, Different Star Ocean: The Last Hope Interface

>_< I'm really disappointed that they decided to force people to use a different HUD based on which version they play. If they included both HUDs, fine then people can use what they want, and everyone can be happy.

Any reason to hesitate is going to affect sales based on people wondering what the differences are and which version to get while the price drops the longer they wait or they might decide to buy a used copy.

I think I'll wait and see. If they're doing silly things like changing the HUD, I don't trust them to leave everything else alone.

I'm curious as to how the HK version will be done. If it has English options and has the JP HUD, that could be a cool and unique experience!

Making the alternate HUD available as DLC would also relieve people's worry.

Ok the truth to the matter is whats done is done making this USA version of Star Ocean 4 English Dub only was a mistake and not only that the anime to CG was also a mistake when all the other star ocean’s were Anime hand drawn style you can’t simply change it because of region, if anything include a option to pick which one you want, it really annoys me to see CG to be honest, CG is lazy mans creation when computers do all the calculations nowadays.

What’s done is done “but” on xbox360 a live update and or download content can fix this all, the patch would require some few mb is all its just small pics of data to give you option of CG to Anime style and for the dub Jap version addon choice would make every single Xbox 360 owner proud and happy I guarantee after all a choice is the best is this not what you want?

reply to this if you want to see downloadable content to include Anime portraits and status screens etc.. and Jap audio voices during all scenes and battles. You never know if they will include this just for thanking the people that bought this as downloadable content even if it costs money I WOULD pay any price for this so would many others.

I didn’t play this game as much as i did because i don’t like CG pictures in game and I dont like English voices because most of the time they suck, and the main hero’s voice sucks in USA version the girl was not that bad but if whoever is responsible for this please have download content to include choice of what you like Jap dub and Anime style, the CG its only good for movies.

which is my point to have choice either Anime or CG and either Jap or Eng dub who cares if they make it on 4 – 5 or 6 dvd dual layers who cares if they make you pay for the extra stuff i wouldn't mind spending more money if it meant getting a better game overall, even with CG in no way was it made to be without Anime feel its got tons of Anime style scenes between the protagonist and the female heroine she slaps him and calls him a perv enough times lol that originated from Anime and manga and Jap games so why not make the overall experience selectable to be full Anime with Anime portraits too?

Portraits are important in rpg's they stick with you throughout the game. This Star ocean 4 game is based off Anime and the characters eyes are huge its trying to pull the gamer into an Anime world regardless of what some people think of CG saying it fits better is wrong it makes me look at the game differently now and in a bad way, the game has no emotion they all feel like robot dolls to me, and to make it worst the Eng dub track have you heard how terrible most of the voices are,

exept for few to name one of them being Welch her voice is sassy and very interesting I can hear her emotions when she speaks, but people like Edge or Lymle the English voices are plain, uninteresting, expressionless, most of them look and sound like creepy doll robots. Whats with lymles slow robot like talk shes supposed to be a kid not a creepy tard baby robot sorry thats how she sounds and I'm afraid she may sound that way to the end of the game? lol

well there's a few more that don't pitch up either, none of them come close to the amazing acting of Welche's voice whoever she is congrats your very skilled. I remember her from Lost Odyssey and some cartoon on TV, her voice has great acting skills. Lost Odyssey had decent Eng dub, usually games are mostly better with Japanese dubbing.

Valkyrie profile 1 on the PSX had great English Dubbing too you know why? Practically all the cast was known popular voice Actors/Actresses and they did a great job pulling it off. Its all about emotions in your voice having a good impressionable voice and pulling it off when your reading lines this is why most of the Japanese dubbing is almost always the best they know how to handle their voices and put many emotions in their voice acting.

My proof is Anime Japanese dubbing majority of us fans watch Anime with Jap dubs, for star ocean games it would of been better if they used Anime full on everything although I will still enjoy it with this CG but not as much as i did star ocean 2 and its Anime style. Sorry for my English if any mistakes, this not meant to start flame or influence people away from the game it is still good game but just not as hot as it could be, shame that.
