Ok, some games have an option to turn on Japanese voices instead of the default ones- the ones I can think of off the top of my head are Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana and Soul Calibur 3 (and maybe the Xbox version of SC2, I'd have to double-check). I always turn them on if there's the option (if there is, it's usually in the Sound Menu). I was just curious as to who else turns Japanese on and why, and on what games? I'll post some of my own thoughts later.

Ok, I'll post one now: I really wish some of the Final Fantasy games had that option. (Or do they, and I live under a rock?)

Just seeing if there's any kindred spirits out there... ;) Lemme know!

sure, since they sounded better in japanese anyway. like Disgaea and Atelier Iris: Azoth of Destiny that i'm currently playing.. also in La Pucelle tactics, Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom (except Atelier Iris all of them was developed by Nippon Ichi which always include the language option feature for all their game).. no offense but for me, anime based RPG like Tales series is better in japanese voice and sounds horrible in english.. they just look... emotionless

and no, i don't think FF have that kind of option

No, cuz I never understand them. My brothers prefer it in Japanese for whatever reason. I've heard all the different voice overs and to me, they all sound the freakin' same. I guess it's a matter of taste, unless your like me: neutral in most things. Anyways, again I don't and Final Fantasy has no language options.

Unfortunately, practically all the games I play don't have that option. Though I'm sure that if they did, I would use it (would especially like it for future FF games).

I would love too... but I haven't played games that give this possibility even if there's only FFX so far that made me wish that (the english dub wasn't really convincing).

I rather they have a dubbed engrish version, now that be funny. or even better they speak Lisbon.
anyway, likewise, a few jap games I play I also turn them on, the visual and aural impact just adds up together especially with vibrating pads.

I always choose the Japanese voice option on my first game, then the english dub in my second playthrough. I understand a bit of japanese and I simply like the sound of the language. It just seems to me that the acting is much more emotional than the english dubs. Plus, I have no trouble reading subtitles and watching scenes at the same time. Games I can recall that I had played with this language option is one of the Soul Calibur games and Onimusha Dawn of Dreams.

english voices in games bother me so much as english dubs ^^;
they look false...like unable of screaming or acting right.

a good example of this is the Guilty Gear X opening animation...the animation was incredible and it made me wish there was a GGX anime but ZOMG, the voices! dear god....

There are reasons why Final Fantasy could't have such options; but the dubs by Square is way better compared th other titles like Onimusha: DoD. The English dubs sound like it came off a cheap imitation company...

You can turn Japanese voices on in games...? When did that happen?!? :o

I'd love to see it in some of the Final Fantasy games, if only to give a little consistancy with sequels (X-2) and spin-offs (Kingdom Hearts). But as I'm not a huge gamer & I only have a humble chunky black PS2 then I guess it doesn't really bother me at all...

I really wish I could on the few games that use quite a lot voices that I have played. The ones I would have really like to have this option are Final Fantasy X and Tales of Symphonia... cause I really feel that the english voices sound wrong... and well since they were subbed in french, it wasn't like the advantages of a dub were there.

Yea if a game from japan dosn't have japanes voices then the diolauge sounds crappy, cause the US bussness for game voices is kinda low. That's why i like DOA for example.

Of course I do it, and I would like that i most of the games, like on the RPG's or in the fighting ones you could have that options.
Now I'm playing onimusha 4 and the voices are so much cooler on japanese, and also the voice of sora on the Kindomherats 2, But I play it on english :(

Now, I would'nt mind your comment, but concerning Rikku (FFX), I highly disagree. She sounds right, even in english. Especially if the actress was Tara Strong.
