Phantom Brave: We Meet Again Delayed To Add Japanese Voices

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again Delayed To Add Japanese Voices NIS America is shuffling Phantom Brave: We Meet Again’s release date from June 16 to August 4. The extra time will be used to add a Japanese voiceover option to the game.

 

Nao Zook, Public Relations coordinator, explains in an e-mail, “We’ve heard from many fans of Phantom Brave that they really wanted to have Japanese voiceovers. So, we decided to add the feature. We believe that this will make many fans happy and that’ll make us happy as well.”

 

Previously, we reported, with help from a clever tip from Siliconera contributor Denpa no Sekai, that Phantom Brave: We Meet Again would not have a dual voice option which sparked an ardent fan reaction in the comments.

 

So, if you’re pleased with this decision leave a message in the comments. It appears that NIS America is listening to Internet feedback carefully.

    You know, actually Japanese voices are a deal-breaker for some of us, especially if we own the original version. Why buy the same game over if a feature we like is taken out?

    “Japanese voice-overs shouldn't be the deciding factor on if you buy a game or not.”
    Much like film and shows, you're going to get those people that swear by listening to something in a certain way. I think, if possible, it's best to cater to both audiences, so the appeal isn't so narrow. Disgaea probably wouldn't have been as exposed as much if it didn't have that option.
    “The profits used to delay and add voices to Phantom Brave Wii could have been used for QA testing for two or three of their other games in the future.”
    Well, that certainly wasn't the case for ATII and Rhapsody.
    Look, I'm not grudging NISA. I consider myself a loyal supporter of theirs, but because of that I'm just trying to figure them out since a few things have been leaving me a little concerned or confused as of late.

    Speaking as A) an SRPG fan, B) someone who will be purchasing this game when it's available, and C) a player who supports a dual language option, this news makes me very happy. Thanks NISA!

    Haha oh wow, you just say that because you don't own a region-free PS2. Learn to import.
