Does this version have English voice?

[Lolly Hunter]

The original PS3 version was voiced in English, AFAIK.

[Jeffer'son Airship]

Yes. The dusk trilogy is all dual audio.

[Lolly Hunter]

Good. Thanks.

I guess there's no reason to buy the PS3 originals then, unless there are features exclusive to them? I would prefer physical copies, but shipping to my country plus duty and tax cost as much as the games...

[Sephilar]

The exclusive features are actually here since this version includes everything that was added in the Plus version. Unfortunately Koei is a lazy company and has never wanted to bring physical copies of the Plus versions in the west, except for Rorona Plus since the additions to it made it a completely new game different to the original Rorona.

[Lolly Hunter]

Strange how the PS3 got the short end of the stick in all of these games, since it's normally the main consoles that get the superior versions.

It's actually cheaper for me to buy these anyway, since it only costs me the equivalent of US$48 for the bundle, instead of ~$30 + shipping/tax for the PS3 discs.

[Sephilar]

Well, if you REALLY prefer playing in the PS3 over the PC, honestly you're not going to lose much. The Plus versions were always released by the PS Vita after their original games were released for the PS3, and the additions to it except for Rorona and Shallie were never really much to bother buying them if you already did for the PS3, unless you wanted to do so anyway to support Gust of course.

As far as Ayesha goes, the only thing remarkable you'll lose is not being able to play the game in Hard Mode and not being able to fight against some optional bosses that were added in which were introduced in E&L for the first time, that once you're able to master the game you'll enjoy (or suffer) for sure fighting against them since they demand the best of you to beat them.

Also, you can search for Ebay or some website like that to buy Ayesha for the PS3 by just about 10-15$, or buy them in some thrift shop where you're living. It's Atelier so it shouldn't be hard for you to find a physical store selling them at a good price.

[Lolly Hunter]

If this is the complete version, then I'll just get this instead. It's cheaper for me, too.

These games were never sold in my country AFAIK, so they are impossible to find locally (not even the Arland trilogy). Most eBay sellers don't ship outside US/NA, so I'd have to use their GSP, which is expensive and it charges import duties and taxes at the checkout. Package forwarders are not worth using for such small and low-value items.

I've also heard about a game-breaking bug in the PS3 Shallie, where allocating stats or learning new skills crashes the game. If that's true, then there's even less reason to get the PS3 versions since my PS3 is running a CFW (to use as NAS/backup server) and can't get official patches.

[Sephilar]

Ah I see. Well, hope you enjoy playing Ayesha, you're in for a good ride.

Terrible English audio, yes.

I forgot to change the language when I launch the game for the first time, and just noticed that most of the girls sounded the same in English as if they're the same voice actress voicing multiple characters. And all the voices are horrible.

Not asking for opinions on the audio quality, thank you very much.

The worst voiceover in a language that I can understand is better than the best in a language that I don't know a word of. There's something called "familiarity" and "convenience."

Thats clear when his "opinion" is that games should rather have japanese audio only than dual audio.

Yeah, having a choice is always better.
Its ok if you say " i prefer the Japanese dub", i feel that way myself.
But if someone likes the English dub and prefers to play with English voices, more power to them.
Everyone should be able to enjoy a game like he wants if the game offers different options.

[Monterossa]

But what about my choice? I want to play GTA5, Kingdom Come, etc. in Japanese. But when I asked for Japanese dub on those boards, they bullied me.
