There aren't that many people who are raving Tales fans like myself but this is awesome news... AND, from what i have been reading over the months, this is the Tales title to get even if you are new to the franchise... it is somewhat of a flagship for the franchise (again... all hear-say... but being a Tales fan i will be getting it regardless).

2013 is looking like a great year for me

Why not just subbing the games?

Why not just subbing the games?

you would think that subbing the game would cost less and we would see more JRPGs coming to EU and NA but they don't do it for some reason... but im happy that they at least put in the extra effort on Xillia

Subbing only would cost less but a sub only game would also appeal to less and thus making less sales but either way definitely going to be getting Xillia despite having the JP version.

Unfortunately the costs for leaving the Japanese voice acting in is practically the same as redoing the voices in English.  While you will save some money in using your programming team to set the game up for English voiceovers, you will still need them to change the text and make sure there are no errors in the message system having changed all of the text in the game.  On top of that while you don't need to hire a cast of English voice actors, they still require you to repurchase the licenses and pay royalties to the original Japanese cast.  This can get incredibly expensive when this game already has such high quality talents such as Tomokazu Sugita and Miyuki Sawashiro.
