Same people who worked on FFXV, so not expecting much either. Maybe the gameplay will be good but it worries me that they are making it narrative focused, definitely not their strong suit.
You can also have Japanese voices in the western release by setting your Switch region and language to japanese. That worked for me at least. Of course text will be in Japanese as well, so not advisable for people who can't understand.
Were you able to update to 1.6.0 without any issues? I got to the, your save needs to be updated screen, then it just hangs and I can't access anything.
