waking up to have this information confirmed to me is an amazing way to start the day off.I have been looking into the american release for sometime now along with a few friends.I already pretty much confirmed this a few days ago when I talked to a member of EGM.I already however have the import version of this game and am near close to completing it.I still though really want the American version of this game becasue I would like to fully understand the story.I can only make out some of it here and there and I do have to use the guide to get through it.Already having played this game all I can say is it is amazing and any true RPG fan is going to love it.The visuals are amazing the battles are great and the character designs are great as well thanks to Akira Toriyama.This is probably one of my favorite RPG series from Square-Enix or square in general.It has never gotten much espect in America which is a shame becasue it is a fantastic series.It is coming and if you like RPG's pick the game up when it is released you will not be sorry.

Well where to begin this soundtrack is ok.There are a few good songs.One of the best songs on this album is the main theme (if you have seen the trailers it is the main song that plays it is titled Overture) it is very well orchestrated and sounds fantastic.Another song you may be familiar with is Give a roar which is also featured in the one smaller trailer where it shows off some battles.My biggest problem with this album was it kind of fallowed the order of Good song then a few ok to not so good songs then a good song.The 2nd half of the 2nd album are all 4-20 second songs of things like the inn and others and most aren't too appealing.There is a orchestrated album coming which will feature some of these songs and will sound alot better than this album.The biggest problem was the fact it was lacking orchestrals because alot of these songs at times would have a little bit of them but the music around it sounds like midi quality sounding.If you can only get one wait for the orchestrated one I am.IMy cousin purchased this album and lent it to me so I could check it out,but I am a big fan of the series and will pick it up soon enough.Overall it's a great day for the series and I am very happy about it.!
