Still more thoughts on Birth By Sleep
Mar. 8th, 2011 11:13 pmNow that Wai-con's behind us and we've got free time again we're getting down to the serious business of playing through the copy of Birth by Sleep: Final Mix that came in just before the con. Not much to say about it yet since we're still a long way short of reaching any of the new material, but it has reminded me that I never did get around to typing up all my thoughts on the last version of the game we tried out, being the English version, or how it compared to the Japanese. Short answer: surprisingly well.
( We have a long history of hating on dubs around our place so it's nice to find something to be positive about in one for a change, for example: Mark Hamill, Evil!Spock, widdle!Sora and Riku, that incomprehensible mouse from Cinderella, and of course, AQUA. )
While I'm on the subject of BBS (because clearly a 4000 word review plus another thousand on the dub is not nearly enough), during the lead-up to Wai-con a comment showed up on my original review asking (perhaps unwisely) what I'd thought of Vanitas, a character the commenter was particularly fond of and whom I'd barely mentioned in my own spiel. The comment was anonymous so the odds they'd notice a reply now that I actually have time to write one are probably not that great, but it did manage to get me going on that old subject of Stuff BBS Could Have Done Better, so for the sake of the argument, here's my thoughts on the subject.
