So, after a year, they basically gave us the features in the Japanese versions (VA, portraits, etc.) with no noticeable change in the battle system.

Didn't they add manual targeting now?

I see no mention of it in the review.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

AT LAST THEY LISTEN

"For one, you can listen to all the game's dialogue in Japanese"

This is what stopped me from buying TOV 360 and made me trade back my SO4 360. I could not STAND the English voice acting for SO4, it is so damn annoying it feels like I was in a time warp.

The best voice acting in JRPG this gen actually comes from Disgaea 3, that niche title had stellar perfomances all round, SO4 had one of the worst.

Thank you SE, I'll actually consider buying this now.

ToV has good voice acting though. 

I mean, if thats bad, I don't know what game has good one (English).

Yup. ToV is actually pretty good, but I'm anal and prefer the original language VA, the only game where I did not op for the Japanese VA is Lost Odyssey because the lip synch was way off for the Japanese VA (this bugs me even more than the Engglish VA from the twin) and I actually like Jane a lot in his English VA.

I didn't buy ToV because a PS3 version was announced and I'm hoping that it will have Japanese VA. (Once again that's just me being a pain).
