At first announced as a Microsoft published title, Infinite Undiscovery will in the end be released this week, or even today, by Square-Enix. As usual I rushed to record the first 10 minutes of the game, and since this game is a RPG, and a quite complex one at that, many more will follow.
Update: Added 2 more videos. Another will follow this afternoon, and one last tonight or tomorrow.
Update 2: Last video for today added, more tomorrow!

Commented on 2008-09-02 09:19:30but as for why do they insist on dubbing games over with english dialogue, publishers have claimed in the past that despite all the internet noise making it seem otherwise, the actually number of ppl that prefer/demand the japanse voices and subtitles is pretty small.
the majority of western consumers are going to want the game in english and if they don't provide it in english, they can kiss their sales goodbye.
is that true? i really can't say, thats just what publishers have claimed in the past.
why can't they provide both voice tracks and give ppl the choice? **shrug**
don't know.
but thats the reason they've given for why they dub the games instead of just leaving the japanese and using subtitles.
Commented on 2008-09-02 09:39:41The quality often drops much below amatorial: completely random untrained dubbers, unhearable volumes and unfinished sentences. Sometimes it can be VERY funny, but not when it happens in a game you waited for years to play.

She uses a bow in gameplay, so why the fuck she stays like that in cutscenes, like she has a invisible bow? It's just a so... freakin' obvious bug, it freaks my immersion perception. Do Not Want!
Commented on 2008-09-02 11:08:30Wow aside from the slowdown, this game really does look pretty awesome :)

Best to not always believe what you read. The best way to go is always on your own gut. Watch the game in action to see if you like what you see. If you can't get a remote liking or interest in what you're seeing, then it probably isn't for you,
That opening cutscene was a whole heck of a lot better than I was expecting it would be, especially from a sound design perspective. Voice acting seems pretty good as well.
Graphically I think it looks fantastic. The art is definitely there and the lighting and textures are subtle, but still look great imo.

Commented on 2008-09-02 12:31:52I watched the first two videos, it looks pretty tempting actually, all possible cliches are in there, but it's well executed. I might pick it up at some point, I don't know.
Commented on 2008-09-02 12:31:59 In reply to NakanoThe only reason they like it, it's because they don't understand the fuck they are sayin'... it doesn't mean they aren't any less stereotypical, and annoying to people who actually understand moon languange, than English VA to people who understand it too.
Commented on 2008-09-02 12:38:47 In reply to alimokraneIn my opinion the western choices are too old voices for the female chars and too "though boy" acting for the male ones.

Commented on 2008-09-02 12:50:11The same goes for English too, like your exemple of MGS ( very good VA among so much crappy ones nowdays, just a tad ludicrous scripts, though).

Commented on 2008-09-02 13:43:09 In reply to TinksI watch anime with subtitles, and sure I got used to it. But I have noticed in games, and really depending on the anime, a lot of the female characters sound absolutely annoying. Far to high pitched, very grating, and exceptionally unpleaseant.
The voices for this aren't that bad, Capell is alright. The chick, well she's kinda off, but you can't always win. Not the worst voice acting, but in no way the best.

Edward is a bit annoying, but that's because the actor exaggerates every line, not because of his voice.
I agree with starfox14now and Zilor.
