When I get a 360, this will be on my list.

This game almost made me consider to buy an import 360, since Japanese games are not region free, with Banjo Kazooie in the back of my head to be hopefully region free. Though since all the negative news about the console lately plus after checking the complete game list which showed me about 4 or 5 interesting games, I don't find it worth it to cough up about 410 Euro (>500USD) So it stays with drooling only for now.

Eternal Sonata is coming out later this year in PAL, so don't worry about it....Just wait a little while and get it where you live. 36/40 seems pretty adequate for how awesome this game should be.

For the information...I don't own a 360 and by buying games I'd rather have the Japanese version because of the language and most of all voice actings ;)

 And apparently specifically this game's voice overs are creappy in English. This happens way too often with games still and I find myself sometimes changing the language to Japanese too which is why I really wish all Japanese developers who are exporting their games to include a Japanese audio track option, cause it makes it much safer for me that I won't be pissed off by horrible english voice overs.

    Most recently, Odin Sphere had a Japanese voice option and you kept the english subtitles so it's perfect.

Eternal Sonata will feature japanese subtitles and japanese voice acting as an option on the english version, as far as I know. Same with Blue Dragon - you have an option for both. Most Xbox games were this way (Kingdom Under Fire had this, it was phenominal in Korean)
