Japanese VA with english subtitles.

Except no. There are many things American English preserved that RP lost, and viceverse. Have you even read a Middle English text? Also since when did Xenoblade X take place in Europe? If anything it is in Neo-Los Angeles and other furture American city ships.

Xenoblade Chronicles X takes place in a different universe than ours.

And the medival fantasy movies/shows don't? He first argued that it is xenophobia to not want English voice-actors in Xenoblade X. Then he argues that he hates it when there are American accents in medival fantasy movies/shows because it is based on Europe. Then he says that it doesn't matter whether or not the language is accurate, what matters is where the accent comes from. So I mentioned that Xenoblade X doesn't take place in Europe, the characters come from an American city ship. Using his logic that an accent must come from the same location that the setting takes place, it would not be xenophobia to only want American VA's because the game takes place on an American city-ship. 

Yeah, I thought that the British localisations of Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story (even more so) were great. I don't think it'll be British this time, the starting hub of the game is "Neo Los Angeles" after all. 

You're probably right in general, but I think they did pretty good with the first Xenoblade. The only characters that I really disliked were Riki's and Shulk's, and the latter was only when he was screaming or trying to portray rage. Otherwise, whoever the voice director was cast wisely, including with the female characters. By contrast, they'll probably draw from the usual pool of American voice actors, none of whom ever really impress me.

Can't say I'm too likely to finish the game in British. With dual audio on such a long game, I'll likely default to JP.

I definitely appreciate Nintendo leaving it in there.

Not that it made much difference as Nintendo acquired a controlling interest in 2007 (they bought 80% of Namco's 96%).  Another fun fact, despite the name, Xenoblade Chronicles as a franchise is actually not part of the Xeno series but a spiritual successor.  Originally it was titled "Monado and the Beginning of the World."

never said it did. please read the conversation before making comments. "The worst is when TV networks make European medieval  fantasy shows with American accents."

thanks.

Please no clueless and annoying beetcheez... I mean "female leads", like almost every JRPG out there. Ryfia, Colette, Polka, Xehlla, Elena, Marta, ugh... The list goes on and on, same clichéd ass "cute" and "supportive" female leads with high pitch annoying voices, screw that.

Thankfully Elma doesn't seem to be that type of chick, and she doesn't have the looks either. Fingers crossed for a good female lead.

I love JRPGs, love their cliches too, but hate that type of character. Hopefully they'll be similar to Marino from X Command Mission; she's strong, knows how to kick butt, does more than just healing and get in the way of the storyline by creating love interest in the male lead.

HYPED FOR THIS GAME.
