Opprinnelig skrevet av HentaiHeroKyo:I too would like to request Japanese vocals as an option. there's no reason not to include the Japanese audio for those who would choose it! While I do think it should havegone into the development in the first place and thus be included in the price of the game, I'd even be willing to pay a small amount for them to patch/port in the JP audio later, and unlock it as an option for the game. Many who become fans of various media in a foreign language are interested enough to be learning said language little by little and may understand enough of it to appreciate certain nuances, while not having the skills to comprehend the entire game as if it was an untranslated import (which often entails knowing the written language as well!).Įspecially with bringing MGR:R to PC, updating it etc.

It always surprises me when people say 'it doesn't matter because you don't understand the language anyway, so you can't tell its different/better/bad etc.' as if language comprehension is a binary thing - either you are completely fluent, or you know nothing. Imagine if other foreign media was treated this way? Foreign films always dubbed over? Opera no longer sung in its original languages? Clearly, afficitionados the world over of French cinema and Italian opera would be most disappointed if they weren't provided in their original language, with subtitles to aid comprehension. There seem to be quite a few games that thankfully do include JP audio as an option, but randomly it seems that many do not - even within the same publisher or developer's catalogue.

It is clear that the Japanese audio already exists - I see no reason not to provide it as an option for those who would enjoy it. From the looks of it, they are providing Japanese text and subtitles(along with lots of other text/UI options). I too would like to request Japanese vocals as an option.
