Is the Wii version by any chance superior to the PS2 version in any way? I'm slanting towards the PS2 version.
As for the whole sub/dub preference thing, it really depends on the ability of the voice actor to really convey their character to a tee. I cringed when I heard the english VA for Welcome to the NHK (after watching the entire series with japanese dub, english sub). And I also cringed hearing Atsuma's English VA in Enchanted Arms (Makoto is hilarious in both English and Japanese though) after having played the game entirely in Japanese dub/english sub. I just felt like their Japanese VAs fit very well with their characters while the English VAs.. not so much. But when I played Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, etc., I felt the english voices were perfectly fine. The voices seem to match the characters. Same with the English Lost Odyssey VAs. And Star Ocean 4, while the english VAs are thought to be horrible, I didn't really think so. Personal preference I guess but Lymle is downright hilarious. Admittedly, I haven't heard Lymle's Japanese VA. But it's gonna be pretty hard to top her 'kay and Edgey schtick. lol
So yeah there are cases where I feel the Japanese VA is the only way to go but sometimes they do a good (or great) job with the English VAs. I for one can't imagine say Jansen done with anyone else but his English VA or Michelle (from Infinite Undiscovery) done without the English VAs. I'm not saying that they are great voice actors necessarily but those voice actors managed to really fit their characters. And the end result was lulz.
