Hey Namco, will Tales of Graces F include a JP voice option?

lol For the localization of Chaos Wars, the person in charge of voice acting was cheap and hired his family members to voice it.

It was terrible.

CAN'T TELL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE QUALITY OF THE FANDUB AND THE OFFICIAL ONE. FFFFFF-

<Namco> Hey we're localizing Graces F.
<Fans> OH WE WANT THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND WE'D BE PRETTY UPSET IF YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE THIS. PLEASE DON'T SCREW UP THIS EITHER.

They'll do fine with the dub. Stop worrying about whether or not they'll even voice skits, we don't even know the release date. It'd be nice if they included dual voice, but it isn't like we're entitled to it nor are they obligated to do it. Programming that **** takes a long time. They aren't going to cut the english dub to support a dual-audio option either; that's just retarded. Who the hell cares if a few people don't like some voices? Just because some other companies did it with some games, it doesn't automatically set the standard for every game in that genre to ever be released. If I were producing a game, I DEFINITELY wouldn't include dual-voice just because a few people might not like the english voices that you JUST worked so hard to put out; that's just completely ass-backwards. What the hell is wrong with some of you.

@ kanjitech1988: We mourn your loss.

@ Drake: I get what your saying, I'm just voicing my thoughts as I am a really annoying teenager. When I first heard a confirmation we were getting this, dubbing and everything was far from my mind, I was just like "HELL YEAH".

Also we're discussing this game coming stateside and hopefully for some of us to the rest of the west. It'd be nice sure for some of us, but we don't want Namco to lose money on this feature and we know Namco will do a good job. We just worry like overly fussy parents. Also, even if Namco does a bad job of dubbing I myself wouldn't get upset, I would just simply play the game and not care. The only guarantee I can see of this game getting dual voice audio would be if a large number of fans requested it, but it's not a necessity like costumes, accessories, skits etc as part of the story line and gameplay per say, and should have lower priority in comparison to actually get this game released. Oh and yes, there is a lot wrong with me, and I mean a lot.

@Drake: There's a difference between ******** to Namco Bandai about what they SHOULD do and posting about what we would LIKE to see.

NAMCO WILL ALWAYS DO SINGLE AUDIO END DISCUSSION.

JP voice acting would be a really nice bonus. Since usually I loathe the EN voice acting in Tales of games. It's just horrible to listen to, so I sometimes have to disable the voices.

Agreed. The only game I disliked the english voices of was Dawn and the reasons for that are pretty obvious.

Okay, so people love or hate the voice acting in Tales. We all have rights to our own opinion. But the real question is diversity in voice acting and appealing to certain fans more important than the financial risk coupled with the work it would take. Now that we should be trying to figure out and wait for Namco to release the game with or without the dual voice audio.

@ Ryuuka of the 7th Flame: I didn't like it to, but I lived with it, moved on, got bored of the game once I realized on Unknown I owned everyone with my level 200, 4 stage monsters in less than a minute save the Album Atrium and now put it in my pile of games, whether I'll play it again or not remains to be seen.

@ Judgment8: True. Still hope it doesn't become like the self-righteous attitude spam that Vesperia fanboys decide to give to Rich and Namco's Facebook page. Let's just keep sane in our appeals for our wants and suggestions, and hope it doesn't go overboard. With the announcement of Tales of Graces F localization from Namco they, must of cared about the fanbase, but couldn't say anything to spoil the surprise back in August, which sadly led to some undeserved spam that the community managers and Namco took.
