    It has nothing to do with greed. It costs money to include Japanese audio. So if the company is taking the time/money to do a dub they probably don't want to pay to include the Japanese va'ing as well. Of course, some companies do, but that's really a favour to the fans and you can't expect it. If you don't like it speak with your wallet and don't buy the game. I think having it as DLC is actually a great option where everyone wins. Maybe include it for free with pre-orders as a bonus for paying full price for the game. I think that would be an ideal set-up.

    You think Japanese va'ing is so great? It's really not. Damn nails on a chalkboard is what at least half of the women sound like these days. Not saying that there aren't quality Japanese dubs from time to time, but a lot of what I've heard sucks. Also not saying that most of the dub work on localised games is great. But in terms of big western games? Yeah that's way better than most if not all Japanese va'ing when big names are obtained and they give a shit (you can tell, for sure, when actors care). When voice acting is good, you really don't notice it, imo.

    Piss everyone off? Nah, just a vocal minority.
