It does indeed. The game prompts you for your language choice every time you turn it on. Symphonia HD also included a Japanese VO option, so Zestiria is not technically the first. It was explained previously that the lack of the Japanese audio tracks was a simple matter of licensing. What we’re seeing now is…

I don’t think this is the case, personally. Bandai Namco really seems to embrace the Japanese nature of their games and understands that it’s actually beneficial. Tales directly caters to the anime crowd and Bandai Namco knows it. Someone who doesn’t enjoy anime-esque visuals isn’t going to buy a Tales game, anyway.

If…

The Japanese music industry tends to be fickle and is notoriously difficult to deal with when it comes to licensing music for international releases. And some record labels are worse than others. Your mileage my vary.

Chances are though that Bandai Namco could have secured the rights to the song with some more money…

It’s not a bad game by any means, but here’s hoping HAL’s working on a slightly more traditional Kirby, too.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse says hi. I’ll give you Pokémon though, considering Pokkén Tournament doesn’t hit until next year and Rumble U barely counts.

Indeed. As well as why games like ORAS, that would have come much earlier in the timeline, now have things like more advanced PC storage, Pokémon Bank and the GTS when compared to RSE. In the original timeline it took until DPPt/HGSS for the GTS to emerge.

It’s Cyber Sleuth. The title of the game is not plural.

Yep. It was established in ORAS that the original timeline of FRLG/RSE -> HGSS/DPPt -> BW -> BW2 is a separate universe from XY and ORAS. In the original timeline AZ’s war never occurred and Mega Evolution was never discovered. This also stunted the world’s technology.

This war is exclusive to the Gen VI Mega universe. It never happened in the original timeline(s).

Cyber Sleuth. The title isn’t plural.

Honestly, I figured that was the reason behind the name when the game was first announced. It’s nice to see my initial thoughts confirmed.

Regigigas is not a combination of the Regi trio, it’s their leader of sorts.

Zygarde’s formes make perfect sense in the context that he’s composed of cells, the basis of life. The formes are random for a reason, because Zygarde could probably be whatever the heck it wants to be, really.

It’s not really a random quest, it’s the conclusion of the Nagrand storyline, which is in turn the conclusion of all the quest storylines in Draenor pre-Tanaan Jungle. There was a cutscene for it that’s well worth watching. I suggest checking it out.

He’s not completely incorrect, though and has some great points as to why they may not be included.

Ahh, that’s too bad. I really, really liked them myself.

Have you seen the Rurouni Kenshin trilogy? Those are some seriously amazing, fairly recent films. They’re an absolute joy to watch.

“..all have miserably designed and unnecessarily confusing menus and user interfaces that make finding available features and customizing them a nightmare for many people.”

Sorry, but what? Maybe I’m misunderstanding here, but Sakurai in particular tends to have the most well designed, cleanest and simplest UI and…

Same. I played it at both E3 and SDCC this year. It plays fine and certainly looks a hell of a lot better in person. The trailers haven’t really captured the game that well.

Mainly because Dragon Quest X is also coming to the NX and handhelds are not well suited to MMO clients. The 3DS version of DQX uses cloud streaming and not an actual client like the console and PC versions do. I can’t really see them doing a cloud service for yet another handheld, especially as the game continues to…

That’s actually pretty easily explained. When the 360 launched Microsoft tried really, really hard to capture the Japanese market because of how badly they failed with the original Xbox. They really wanted Japan to like the 360 and they needed JRPGs for that to happen. This led to a lot of talks with publishers about…
