Does North America version of this game have original Japanese dialogue support?

If it does, I am thinking to pick this one up after seeing so many great reviews about this game.

 

 Why is this important?  Valkyria Chronicles will be my first RPG of any type.  This question has come up on the thread several times.  Should I enable this feature?

 

Historically, the english translation of JRPG's is pretty poor so alot of people like to have the original Japanese dialogue. Ive stuck with the english and its been fine.

That's some biggest forum generated hype for a game which has wirtually zero marketing push from developer (not counting big banner at Eurogamer :) ) I have seen.

Psh. This thread is nothing. Check out the 15 page official Valkyria Chronicles thread.

It sure does. :)

 

Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm about to leave my house to go grab the game. :)



My roommate already bought the game and I bogarted his PS3 all day Sunday. It is nice to play a REAL Sega game again. One of my friends from Norway is having a hard time finding it, so I ordered it from Amazon and I will be shipping it to him as soon as I get it.

Can't speak for others, but the reason why I care?  Because I'm Japanese. :)

The voice acting isn't bad but it isn't great. Each voice is tailored to his or her (or shim's) personality.

@ Biolith

I see. Are you a Japanese living in America or Europe? It came out in April in Japan.

In the japanese version there are some well known Seiyuu and they do a pretty good job...

Maximilian's voice actor Fukuyama Jun ( Ayasegawa Yumichika - Bleach, Tsubaki Issei - Full Metal Panick, Lelouche Lamperouge - Code Geass)

Alicia is played by Inoue Marina (Kanmuri Shigeru - Yakitate !! Japan, Cosette - Le portrait de la petite Cosette, Yoko - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) 

Isara is the great Kuwashima Houko (Clare - Claymore, Kagura - Azumanga Daioh, Sango - Inuyasha, Going Merry - One Piece, Maron Kusakabe/Kaitou Jeanne, Divine Wind Thief Jeanne, etc.)

Rosie is played by Toyoguchi Megumi (Winry Rockbell - Full Metal Alchemist, Mimiru - .Hack//.... , )

Selvaria could only be played by Ohara Sayaka (Erza Vieil - Vandread, Kaede Misumi - Please Teacher, Laila Hamilton - Kaleido Star, Rika Harada - Honey & Clover)

Zaka is Kazuya Nakai (Mugen - Samurai Champloo, Kanzo Mogi - Death Note, Zoro - One Piece)

 



You know, I haven't seen Zaka yet.
