I think I'll wait until it's actaully released and compair it to the UK version. I wouldn't mind having to spend a little more for it if the UK version is better.

Agarest Senki isn't short in the text department either, so I can't imagine that would be a deal breaker. A greater hurdle would be aquaplus not showing the interest in localizations that Red has over the years.

Isn't Tears to Tiara a psudo-visual novel like Utawarerumono? I know there's SRPG game play, but isn't there also unholy amounts of text? Would any publisher really put in the man-hours to localize something like that?

I'll gladly purchase this. Getting a game released at all is better than nothing. Keeps me from importing anything; I don't really feel like getting into that, so this is a relief. Thanks, Aksys!

D*mn…read it in reverse. I misread and thought I read it as they removed the Japanese audio which WAS 15 gigs and replaced it with an English variant.

That was the GF thread I was mentioning though and I assume you're the evanac there or the person who actually works for Ghostlight.

Where are you getting that they removed the JP audio from?

To joachim005 - Yes the original intro movie theme music remains.

And just to clarify the game features UK English text and Japanese audio only. Like I said before with just these elements the game weighs in as near to 16GB as makes no difference so we couldn't include English audio (besides which it would be an epic task that wouldn't match the Japanese audio for quality).

Talking in IRC with a few tech buds of mine, 15 gigs of audio would be the equivalent of about 30 hours of uncompressed CD audio. If they had a way to effectively compress it and make it work with the PS3, they might have a shot…but I have a feeling that we'd only have one audio track. I'd prefer the original Japanese track (like most) but I have a feeling that wouldn't be the case.

And yea, the hard drive issue would be the monster bottleneck. A lot of PS3s out there aren't capable of doing this when they've probably been saturated with things like a 4 gig file for MGS4 alone among whatever else they have for saves. I took the time to pull my 40 and replace it with a 120 but at the rate things are going I might just have to consider a 250 gig from the office if they are SERIOUSLY considering massive downloads like this.

Ghostlight might have to grab that first, but I can see it happening.

I think they're required now so, yes? This is a good question to ask Aksys… *grabs notepad*
