ACTUALLY. i don't believe thats true. first off think about file size...even though it would only be type. thats a lot of text...its alot of reprogramming. i mean...come on. when .hack came to america we got Japense voice or English voice. you know what they threw out? Funny voice. which was like new dialog that was funny that you could play with at the end.
truth is i read in one of their interviews though that they believe that they will make it work both ways *JP accound on NA game* BUT that instead of it being in their native language it would be in the games language. *thus a JP person with a JP account won't have JP language on a NA game.* THUS WE ARE ALL SAVED. that is if you can't read japanese and wish to play the English version. i want to just because the story line has way to complicated kanji/vocabulary/grammer/everything for me to read or even my girlfriend to read. so my beliefes are that it does not make sense for user accounts to not be interchangeable. but i do believe it will stay the language of the version of the game.
This is almost all speculation and i cannot remember the site i got my info from. SO i might be wrong. and if i am please i am greatfully sorry. i do not recommend reserving the NA game if you have JP game in hopes that you will be able to play it. because if you can't you'll probably be very upset and about 80 bucks poorer. what i recomend is find a friend that wants the game. have them get the NA version. then when you can try to log onto their version of the game with your JP account as a guest. (this is possible) when you do it. if it works. and everything turns into english. let god bless us all for we have been saved...because you do not need the CD's of the game to play it. Thus we can just have both JP game and EN game on our computer!!
no i am not in support of coppying games. the real thing you buy for around 80 bucks is the nice little peice of paper that lets you pay for a new account (aka your codes!) but i will NOT buy a new game JUST for it to be in english. i pay 12 something dollars a month and i refuse to be scrwed over any more. because it doesn't take around...oh...lets see 600,000 people are registered in japan...take that and just times it by 10 bucks...oh wait...6MILLION DOLLARS TO RUN SERVERS!? thats ONE MONTH. 6million dolalrs a month.
Well anyways. yes they will be interchangable. as far as we know that is. if i'm wrong please tell me now
(sorry for ranting there for a second...)
