It still carries the bastardized "Knights of the Zodiac" title in it.

As an Spanish person, I'm extremely happy to hear the game will have an Spanish dub. I seriously wasn't expecting that

In Spain and Portugal, this franchise gives Dragon Ball Z a run for its money in terms of popularity. Keep in mind that both nations received DBZ long before the US and in both nations, DBZ was a smash hit. Let's just say that Saint Seiya is just as mainstream. Ditto with France and Italy.

It's Toei's international title and has been used in other countries in their own language long before it came over here.

As for the game, I'll be looking forward to it myself and since I loved Brave Soldiers, I'll probably buy both PS3 & PS4 versions like I plan to do with Dragon Ball Xenoverse (already own on PS3 and will buy on PS4 next year) & J-Stars Victory Vs. +.

I don't know why you feel this way. I first watched "Los Caballeros del Zodiaco (Saint Seiya)" back in 1994 and thought that the name fitted perfectly. I still think to this day that the Spanish/English version of the name describes the series better. I mean they're wearing the zodiac cloth/armaduras/armor.

I think that it rocks that it'll a Spanish dub. Saint Seiya sounds awesome in Spanish. Saint Seiya is as big as Dragon Ball worldwide. Dragon Ball has been able to stay more relevant but that's thanks to Kurumada been greedy and not giving SS fans the Heaven's Chapter!

Because that was the title used for the ill-fated DiC English dub that aired on Cartoon Network back in 2003, thaort of...stigmatized the series in the US.
