This was to be expected, though was wondering if Time & Eternity would be, due to being a Bamco game originally. It's rare for NIS America not to include both audio tracks. Usually it's an issue of space if they don't, or as a recent case, request of the IP holder.

Think this is an announcement to poke at TK with the Ayesha debacle.
Laughing

Though, The Ayesha Dub seems better then the Arland ones so far.

NISA can do it, but TK can't. Go figure. I'm definitely getting one of these games.

dual audio, how about text?

Will it have region locked features because of it?

The standard for NISA releases in recent years has been that the user can select between Japanese and English voices, can have only English text, and gets a manual in English and French.

Almost no Playstation 3 games are region-locked, but Down-Loadable Content (DLC) may only be available in certain regions. (I have read the complaints of Europeans on that issue.)

I don't think they have to worry about the Japanese importing these versions of these games because:

  • When all the text is in English, Japanese voicing doesn't help much in making the game playable for them.
  • Regular edition Japanese game prices aren't enough higher than American game prices when you figure in both the cost of importing, and the price reductions that take place in Japan between the first Japanese release and the first English-language release. It isn't like anime.
