Not the whole but the first few hours. Until I realized that it's still just too hard for me. I've been learning Japanese now for a few years but LR is just too strategic and text heavy to grasp it all. Especially with the heavy quest focus and new vocabulary and completely new features. The dialogues with Japanese subtitles are quite easy to follow but the walls of text explaining quests and the new combat system and time travel are a bit much. Sure with some diligence I could've pushed through but that would've ended in more work than fun.
For example I had no trouble playing through the japanese XIII-2 in whole before it released in Europe.

From what I've experienced I'm not a big fan of the new combat system.


Oh I've read if you buy this game in the first 2 weeks after Valetines day you'll get free DLC that also has the Japanese voices and I'm assuming english subtitles for a more "localized gaming expereince"

I really like the whole open world design with the monorail. The 1 on 1 type of combat is different, and interesting I think. That's what I always felt was missing from FF1->FF4->FF6->FF7 was that the battles system was always so much of the same. I really like this guys adventurous spirit in always evolving for the FFXIII Trilogy. It's exactly what I've wanted in this series. I stopped after FF7 because I felt the battle system was so damn redundant, and FFXIII breathed in so much NEW life. I just love it! If they're pissing off 20 forum dwellers and a million hipsters IDC they're making me so freaking happy!! I don't need old experiences I need NEW ONES like this game has! I don't need no old slow ass battle system. I need something EXCITING! I'm just so excited for another fresh take, and the conclusion of this legendary game trilogy. I can't be more pleased. It look like they're possibly taking to some platforming ideas also which is defferent.
