So yeah, I thought I'd start an official thread about this game since I've hyped it up so much. However, I will not be purchasing it at least until it is bargain-binned, if at all, and I want to tell you why.
The Party Talk feature has been removed from the English versions. This is 100% confirmed for Europe and 99% confirmed for NA (obviously the retail version is not out yet, but all signs point to yes).

For those who don't know, this is one of the most entertaining features of the game that GREATLY enhances the personalities and stories of the characters. It is similar to the Tales series feature where you talk to your party members about events, except you enable it and you can do it at ANY TIME. Speculation is that they removed it because they couldn't fit it on the Euro version with 5-language support, or that they were too cheap and/or lazy to translate it.
This means the ONLY way to get the COMPLETE version of this game, a game that Westerners have been yearning for ever since the ers at Enix proudly advertised in the back of the manual for DW7 for PSone as COMING SOON to America on PSone and then canceled, is to again to play the Japanese version. And for that, Square-Enix NA/Europe can go themselves in my book, especially at the $40 MSRP, for giving us a nerfed version of one of the best games ever made. I hope that at least some other CAGs will join me in delaying their purchases. I do realize that CC and Amazon are both offering discounts, but I still do not think I should honor these assholes with a launch purchase.
