It was juvenile, incoherent, threatening, and had something to do with Xenosaga.

I wonder if there's somebody at Namco of America who understands how to open it... it's too complex for them.

Chances are that they'll send you back the ultra-censored version of it.

Well, they will alter it so it looks less juvenile. (as the---"CHAUNEN!"

Americans are also too stupid to appreciate ambiguity in their stories so they will probably try to make it more coherent.

They also wouldn't want to offend anyone, so they will make it less threatening!

Why dont you get the Japanese version? By the time they release it (towards the death of ps2) someone will come out with a new mod chip or something.

Im just going to wait until someone reviews the US version, if is chop chopetty chop then im not going to even touch it.

Will there be a European version of the game? Maybe that one wont be as bad.

That is probably a good idea. I just found out the other day there is a full translation of the game available at gamefaqs.

Is the game any good?
Is there a Fei martial arts super combo clone?

Wait -- has Namco of America even indicated yet whether or not it'd be censored? I know there have been several lengthy discussions on Namco of America's previous censorships... but does Namco of America normally give advance notice of censorship or not?

Anyway, let's be prepared to raid Namco of America's offices if censorship does happen! I'll be armed with my Poison Pork Sausage of Extreme Death!

I have a STRONG feeling this game is going to get busted down to a TEEN rating with some lackluster dub slapped on.

When the game is released, and this turns out to be true, then it is already pretty much too late to do a damn thing about it.

I would love to see a dual version release of this game if possible (with a subtitled uncut version available for purchase.)

Now is the time to start nagging Namco's localization team about it, not later.

If anyone knows how to get into touch with someone closer to the localization than the front desk console support, I would really appreciate it if they would try to get into contact.

Here is the original exchange:

Subject: Xenosaga

Good evening,

I'm writing to let you know if Xenosaga was released in the states with an
option to turn on Japanese dialogue with English subtitles, well, that
would just make my day.

If there is not enough room on the DVD, then, how about a dual release of
the game. An English dialogue version, and a Japanese dialogue version, so
your customers can choose which one they would want to buy.

Also, it would be swell if the rest of the game's content was left intact.

This is a really nice game, and I'd wager that its fanbase in America would
enjoy these things I have mentioned.

Thank you.

If I end up playing BoFV:DQ before Xenosaga, I am seriously going to kill someone at Namco USA! (and that's very possible, if DQ does indeed get released in February..)
