Nice! Lately I realized that I really should be playing games in languages I want to learn, rather than the one I'm most comfortable with. My immersion skills are going to crap, so this would be great for me to play. I'll be keeping an eye on this

Wonder if this will need a font fix as well...
As for the undub argument, I don't think it's necessarily because the english dubs are bad, it's because we'd like to experience the game is as pure a form as possible. English translation is required for comprehension, but the voices more just convey the expression of the characters (I hate being "read to" anyway... the best voicing is Animal Crossing
) It's like the Disney cast versions of Hayao Miyazaki films. Sure it's good voicing, but it's much much better in Japanese with subs. It just fits the style of the film. Just as Japanese voices fit Japanese animation better.
