The translation for the base game was rushed out the door under crunch and is ~60% pure garbage (crunch is bad, period) with miscast voice actors such as Billy Kamitz who was only there because he played Jouske Higaskita in Jojo's being miscast as a pure sleezebag even though he was never going to bring the right energy to the character and Kira Buckland who played 2B. a pure android with little to no personality being miscast as the axe-crazy Li- I mean "Risa" who is a former human who went nuts in the conversion process.

Also why the hell does Afin not share an accent with his sister?

NGS on the other hand was just plain rushed out the door. One of Sega's many moments of cr*pping a game out before it's actually done in recent years (doesn't help that NGS is headed by HMZK, the guy who released the least amount of new content in an episode for two episodes (5 and 6) in the base game). It used to just be Sonic but I guess other games are getting hit by this issue too. As an avid Persona fan, I just hope it doesn't start affecting games made by their subsidiaries.

People can pretend that this is just like the base game in Japan but several features were and still are missing that were available in the base game at launch (such as MyRoom/Private Quarters, which was clearly meant to be at launch judging by the early cutscene when you're touring Central City) and HMZK's answer to people complaining about there not being enough to do is 90% rehashing existing content and adding more grinding, moving manpower and resources away from side activities that could have actually given more to do (I'm guessing the Mag jukebox and concerts were already mostly done by that point).

NGS will probably be really good in the long haul but not any time soon.
