any other way to see it outside of Twitter (it's blocked here)?
Given the number of ways you can go through the order of characters I think you can easily have enough variety to not be burned out by it....I'm going to replay the original again in anticipation. I can't see me burning out before release.
Even some of the individual chapters independently offer quite a bit of choice in how you want to tackle themGiven the number of ways you can go through the order of characters I think you can easily have enough variety to not be burned out by it.

There is some serious love going into this remake. Unbelieveable given how obscure this game seems even among Square-Enix's teams. I know Tokita snuck in a reference to it in Final Fantasy Dimensions 2 but beyond that it's just been sitting there dormant outside of Virtual Console re-issues for about 18 years.This game is firing on all cylinders
Yeah, in games with textbox-based cutscenes and voice acting, I find myself more and more often just turning off the voices pretty early in the game. Usually I find that the VA, even if it's not bad, doesn't really add anything to the characters that I don't get from simply reading the dialogue, and I just end up finding it to be a nuisance since I always finish reading the line long before the voiced dialogue is finished.I'm so hyped for this game, it has so much charm, ost sounds amazing. But the English VA sucks so bad, but that won't ruin the game for me.
I agree. But I also think English dubs are worse than JP VA in general, at least in Japanese games. I play western games in their original language or with voices turned off when possible. And games with lots of text are usually better without voice acting, because like you said, you'll read faster than the voice acted lines.Yeah, in games with textbox-based cutscenes and voice acting, I find myself more and more often just turning off the voices pretty early in the game.

I think 13 Sentinels played rather well with the dub, mostly because the auto-advance works so good in that game, and you can even set the delay.Yeah, in games with textbox-based cutscenes and voice acting, I find myself more and more often just turning off the voices pretty early in the game.

If you really don't know you could try the fan translation of the original Super Famicom rom.I cautiously excited for this game. I've been worried to get into these kind of games because I don't know if I will like them but they are rpgs and I like rpgs.
I will probably get this one but I fear I'll pick it up and then just drop it 10 hours in.
13 Sentinels is actually one of the games I turned off the voice acting for, heh heh. Not that I thought the dub was bad at all, I just prefer reading. Although Persona 4 was one game where I did enjoy the dub enough to leave it on.I think 13 Sentinels played rather well with the dub, mostly because the auto-advance works so good in that game, and you can even set the delay.
But I also don't really care about necessarily playing with the japanese dub anymore ever since I played Persona 4 Golden.
If this doesn't have auto-advance I'll probably read faster than the dialogue is acted out so I probably won't hear half of the the performance outside of very climactic moments.
I don’t know if there are very many of us, but I certainly agree! I’m definitely picking this up at release or soon afterward, whereas Xenoblade 3 is a “maybe sometime down the road if it’s on sale and I have nothing else to play” kind of game.I am more hyped for this than Xeno3
Is that strange?
I wasn’t super interested in this but after hearing more about the format and the length I’m actually very interested now. I just had two kids a few months ago - I don’t have time to sink 80 hours into XB3 doing a bunch of fetch quests and grinding. I’m all for a great 20-30 hour RPG though.13 Sentinels is actually one of the games I turned off the voice acting for, heh heh. Not that I thought the dub was bad at all, I just prefer reading.

I played the fan translation of Live A Live a few years back and one thing I love about this game is how snappily paced it is and how you’re always having something totally new and different thrown at you. Every story is maybe 1-3 hours or so and most of them include unique gameplay features and methods of progression in addition to the obviously different settings and self-contained stories. It’s such a refreshing contrast to the gigantic, often bloated open world games which are so prevalent at the moment.
