What? That makes even LESS sense considering they left dual-audio in Eternal Sonata (another Namco 360 RPG)...I'm hoping it just means they don't have enough space in Vesperia....
Well I read about it several months ago so I might not be remembering it wrong. Plus Namco has said recently that they will keep Vesperia's main theme "Ring a Bell" for the North American version, that is a good sign that game will have a duel audio option.
But even if Vesperia does have Japanese voices in it, that doesn't mean Symphonia 2 will have it as well. I mean Namco had no problem announcing they'll be keeping Vesperia's theme "Ring a Bell" in the North American version of Vesperia , and yet, they've said nothing about keeping Symphonia 2's theme "Three-Legged Race" in the North American version. If they're going to keep the main theme for Vesperia and not Symphonia 2, then it's makes me wonder what else Namco might decide to keep in Vesperia and remove for Symphonia 2.
It's Namco after all, they've done crazier thing in the past so nothing would surprise me.
Edit
Of course speaking of Symphonia 2's theme, "Three-Legged Race" does anyone know who's singing it? That voice and music sounds familiar for some reason but I can't quite put my finger on who's doing it.
