You know, I was just saying a couple months ago IRL, after playing the original Strange Journey and SMT IV Apocalypse, that Atlus should remake this game with Apocalypse graphics and interface.
Yeah, this is the one that has an American cast. So ironic.
Surprising how between this, Radiant Historia, and Etrian Odyssey V, it's this that ended up undubbed. Never would've thought that's how things would have gone down.
It's the weirdest standout, especially given Atlus's really strong record with dubbing games. Maybe they figured the "backlash" over not including the JP vocal track initially in P5 meant that they figured people would like sub more? Who's to know.
I mean, I'm sure this will sound good, but the potential for a neat sounding dub was there with this type of cast. Strange Journey is good enough without a VO track but I feel a good dub could've elevated this more than other Megaten games' dubs given the game's setting.
@NCZ Well, not fully American, but it's still overwhelmingly Western. Jimenez is Mexican, Zelenin is Russian, and the protagonist was originally Japanese but was changed to be American in the Western releases. Gore is the only one who's always American, while the rest of the crew has a bunch of Western names.

So stoked that my offhand comment is a reality.

Really unfortunate, though, that this game is not getting a dub. It's literally the most appropriate MegaTen game for one.
