X-Box 360 version US/JP voice differences chart, aka So, how

[_DooM_]

o shyt! i think i got voice 6

[-Shimarisu-]

I was playing in a team yesterday with a US guy who had voice 6 and a japanese player. It makes me wonder if the Japanese know the US voices were redubbed, or if it comes across like we have amazingly poor taste.

Anyway I'll get around to the others, plus female voices later.

Read it just for the hilarious comments. :>

Oh man this is amazing! SOUNDCLIPS! ;o;

I dunno if anyone has a video or sound file of the Japanese voices so you can tell how daft/cool you sound?

I'd love to hear voice 6 personally. Watching JP variety shows with crossdressing SMAP was a balanced part of my daily diet while I was living in Japan.

Very interesting. I was wondering how if they gave the jp 360 version the US voices since it was on our servers or not. Does anyone know if this game is region locked? I wonder if I got the jp ver if I could still use my account since the gaurdians license is tied to my gamertag. I liked the jp voice way more the voice I have now.

It's not region locked, no idea if you can use the same account on a JP copy if you've already regged on US though. I'd have to ask my friend to try my account on his. Would I get my wrists badly slapped for that (suddenly logging in in the US instead of Japan).

There are definite advantages to having a Japanese version if you can read a bit of Japanese. First off you can type in Japanese. SEcond off, you can search Japanese shops, as well as US shops. I'm not sure how it works, but every item placed in a shop on the Japanese copy can only be searched for in katakana. This is what makes me wonder what would happen if I logged in on the US ver. Hmm. Thing is though, Japanese shops are much more fairly priced than western ones. No clue why but it's saving me a fortune.

Other advantages is everyone thinks you are Japanese. Don't wanna talk but don't wanna get kicked for not doing so? Put your greet message in a mixture of Japanese and English. Since I started doing things like this I don't get kicked any more for not talking. I don't have a headset. Hell I've even died once or twice and not been kicked. WHO WOULD KICK A FRIENDLY JAPANESE PLAYER? Yep, this game is full of japanophiles and I don't half milk it.

Your PM and NPC will also spout Japanese too, even to people on a US copy. You can start your own parties, have people join and not chatter at you incessantly. IT'S BLISS.

I have a spare Japanese copy that my 360 ate and I need to get resurfaced. If it works I may offer a trade on the boards. My good undamaged copy for a US copy. I'd love a US copy too. I actually don't like my voice, I picked it so it would sound good to the majority of people who heard it. It's voice 8, it's too deep and I prefer what you hear, voice 5.
