The problem with the game might have to do with a little scuttle Atlus had internally. I heard they were dealing with a strike of some sort when the game was needing published. So they had to deal with an outside, cheap rookie company for localization. Hence horrible dubbing and stuff. As for the gameplay complaints. I've no idea. I haven't played the game. I hear they're bringing it to X-Box and going to re-do it. So I'm holding out for that, hoping they do it right and make it better. In either case, I'm sure the X-Box release (if it's still going to happen) will be more worth your while.
