During the adventure mode, the voice acting is actually pretty good, the voices seem to match the personalities.

The problem I am having is during the actual gameplay. I downloaded the japanese demo before buying as I wanted to play more than one round at a time, but I am in the USA and got the USA version. Is there a way to get the japanese sounds back in the game? If not, are the alternate voices closer to the japanese ones?

What ? Can't you bare playing a game in your own language ? What is it with people, playing a game in a foreign-noise-full language ?

I'm fine with games in english, it's just when you play a game in a different language first and you get used to it, everything else feels off.

Sega does not give option for dual audio. I know the English audio is not that great during gameplay which is why I shelled out extra money for digital Japanese version of the game. I can't read the text as well as English but playing it is like angel's kiss.

Not that I am advocating doing this - just saying it is currently the only way to do it. Alternative voices are not even meant to sound "more like japanese" apparently you hardly can tell the difference while in Japanese they are somewhat different take - say, if you find video comparision of Rulue's Japanese and Alternative Japanese voices you'd get what they are like for all characters who have alternative voice.
The cards are stacked a little since Japanese voice actors usually reign with a wide range while Western voice actors are more or less typecast - which I do not hate entirely I love troy baker as troy baker in most things troy baker is troy baker in. Just that in case of Puyo Tetris the directing seems to be weakest link really.

The alternate voices are just the same English voice actor doing the lines, but with a different intonation/feel to them. More angry, more chill, that sort of thing.

I finally broke down and bought the japanese version, this time on cartridge.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
