Yeah, the decline in frame rate and loss of thicker outlines for the HD are both disappointing in my book.
I'm not talking about her voice acting as much as the audio quality/compression of her actual voice recordings.
I'm about to leave the house and go up there, actually. I'm pretty pissed off, but the upside to this is that eStarland's warehouse is about 30 minutes away from me and the guys there said they'll be getting 3 copies of it. I'll be there before they open to buy it if it's true.
Now (and I know this is slightly OT, but I need to vent), if NIS cancels my CE for The Witch And The Hundred Knight, I'm going to lose my marbles.
Is that even 30fps in the PS3-version? I usually really can't tell the difference between 60 and 30 (I'm weird like that, but those GIFs never show me anything, and in games I only notice drops) and for some reason the Cubeversion looks an awful lot smoother even to me. It actually seems to stutter at times.
Maybe it's a bias induced placebo-effect though, but it just looks so much worse.
Ps3 version has 30 fps and if they follow the Ps2 version to heart there are some dips still. Gamecube version had better visuals and framerate than PS2 and even on some of the world content you can see some textures have more detail on the gamecube version.
Look how the outline on the GC version actually adds to the game while the not having the outline really makes the Ps3 version lose the visual charm the original version had.

I think the PS3 version looks better. I wish they could have used some AA, but still looks crisper and not as blurry.
GC on Dolphin > Ps3 version.
Is it just me or does the PS3 version look more lighter (not as dark) compared to the GC version? 30 fps is a shame though.
Might still pick this up (or Graces f) to play over my spring break which is next week....
I miss Lost Kingdoms short and sweet flavor. 8-10 hours with replay value. (That multiplayer was everything back in the day)
You can always give the reviewer Angel Toxicosis and you will have the rights to write the review. The problem would be finding an Angel prostitute.
I want to keep my voice and senses, thanks.
But then you would be able to kick dogs and blame it on the Angel Toxicosis.

Is it worth to pay 30 euro more for the American CE than the EU?
Speaking from experience, eh? lol.
Okay, that's just wrong.
Can't wait for this game. Initially i bought two collectors editions, but due to excess clutter on my part, starting to sell my sealed extra CE's and keeping only one I have. Namco even charged me for a 3rd CE, even though i remember getting cancelled. Still shipped with trackin number and all, so that's going to ebay too. I am surprised how much this CE is selling. I never intended to make a profit, but if people are willing to pay alot then whatever. I'll be opening my lone CE and display the Lloyd figures too with OST. I remember in the GC era, GS fucked my pre-order and didn't give me my artbook, I was pissed they ran out, as I pre-ordered that way before release. i'm glad i'm getting an artbook now.
Sorry.

I microwave steaks.
But I'm too lazy for that.
That,,, doesn't actually look that bad.
30FPS will hurt it, but it looks a lot less blurry.

Not all of us have NASA Supercomputers.
Sounds weird, I would give the district manager a call and ask what happened.
There's no price listed here, but the reviews mention the price in the cons section and the "customers also browsed" section only lists laptops $1000 and up.
I paid $2700
I take that back then. That's way too much for NASA's budget these days.
You all need to stop posting Dolphin posts in the wrong aspect ratio. 
I'm surprised that Gametrailers video doesn't have a crap ton of spoilers.
So does anybody have Chronicles yet (in Japanese or English)? Is it actually locked 30FPS now? Because that'd be an improvement over the 30FPS with drops from the PS2 version.

The screenshot above is in the correct aspect ratio, but the HUD and UI elements are stretched because of the Widescreen hack. Nothing you can really do about that as far as I know.You all need to stop posting Dolphin posts in the wrong aspect ratio.
My mistake, just glanced at it from the thumbnail, expanding it shows it is the correct one.
You should be able to do a HD texture hack like with Wind Waker, but I don't think anyone did one for Symphonia.Worth every penny
I think it is in works. I remember menu stuff being reworked and some textures.My mistake, just glanced at it from the thumbnail, expanding it shows it is the correct one.
Ugh. Fucking pathetic. :/
The Holy Binds instead of Shining Bind thing was already a dumb mistake. And with this apparently the audio levels of the new stuff is off from the old stuff? Like a different volume level.
Yeah, apparently the audio volume of the new stuff is way lower than the old stuff.
I love how the few previews/reviews that are out there already don't mention a damn thing about this. They must have gotten an intern to handle the audio balancing or some shit, and the same guy did Milla's voice work in Xillia lol
Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWWkv_I9HkY
EDIT: Oh no, it's Genis line coming from Presea. God damn it, Namco.
EDIT2: Rock Pillar instead of Rock Mountain!?

Lloyd sounds really different now. :/

Why did they redub Falcon Crest?

Hah, just got a call from my Gamestop about picking it up at midnight.
Thank you Castlevania/Thief/PvZ.

Yeah just reached the Kratos stuff. He does sound different. Lloyd just sounds really high pitched, but it's been awhile so I'll let it pass.
I think it's because whoever handles the voices don't usually check back with the script/localized text. :/ Like Flynn's MA in Vesperia had the same problem.
; They dubbed the unused artes? That's a waste of resources, geez. Shame the PS2 version didn't give them those artes in the first placeMrSaturn99

To be fair, the original game had mistakes with unison attack quotes too, such as Lloyd's voice clips over Zelos's unison attacks and Colette calling out Lloyd's name when she was performing attacks with other characters.
Still pretty sad they're making the same mistakes, though.

There's a number of mismatches like that. Regal has several.
Some of the actual voice work is alright (Crispin Freeman's-Regal's new battle shouts for example) but some is poor (like Shiloh Strong's-Zelos's Judgement)
I'll just use Prism Stars every unison attack anyway though, haha.
