Is that really Funi's call though? Namco/Bandai seem to be letting this game go quietly without much news whatsoever.

First, it wouldn't be Funimation's problem, correct? This is Namdai's baby, and though Funimation still has part in the contract for games, Namdai would be the ones paying Funimation voice actors...nay?

That said, I'm glad I'll be playing in Japanese. lol

While my response is basically..."amen to that :P ", it still sucks that in a game called "Ultimate Tenkaichi" audio clips of different voices for the same character are being slapped in together...(i mean, damn, the game already has its fair share of shortcomings as-is lol)

Anyone still picking up the game tomorrow? I plan to pick up my copy before school and play after my horror film class is over.

Doesn't the Japanese version of these games re-use story mode lines, grunts, cries, etc. from Budokai 1?

Why aren't people complaining about the laziness there?

Usually they aren't reusing vocal assets from different actors...

So... we get a Colleen Clinkenbeard scream in the cutscenes and in the rendered cutscenes/gameplay footage Stephanie Nadolny? Jeez... and still no Japanese music.

Not necessarily. The problem here is it's wildly inconsistent because the new actors are in the animated cutscenes.

[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

I'll be getting my copy when I get out of school and the gym tomorrow. Unfortunately it has to sit in my bag until after work. Which would be midnight. XD

Doubt it. Nadolny's recordings are the property of FUNimation the second they enter the mic. FUNi paid for the ownership after the initial recording and that is that.

I won't watch any videos so as to not spoil myself but I will try to get the game on Friday, or over the weekend.
