Hello, everyone!
It's very rare for anime game to make it outside Japan. Unfortunately
most of the time localisation happens at a cost of original VO.
I strongly disagree with companies (especially Atlus) stating that
"original VOs are for minority". While "original VO advocates/anime
fans" may be in minority in relation to the whole world (which could
be disputed as the recent years have seen an anime boom), the main
audience that supports these companies consists of "anime minority".
The companies are simply justifing their greed. They try to make as
much money as possible by butchering VOs to appeal to, as they call
them,"casual fans". But these "casual fans" for the most part have no
real interest in japanese stuff. More so, they look down on it and
lousy dubs just serve to strengthen their disdain. If companies had
put a little more thought in their scam, they could've just abandoned
the dubbing process to cut the production cost and would've made more
profit as a result. But if their noble goal is indeed to educate
"casual fans" to japanese culture - even more reason to leave VOs
untouched. No sense in learning things backwards.

* - Julian's undub has been reuploaded, but at the time all links
google found were dead. I've been asked about the difference
between our versions. I don't know. Most likely there isn't any.
** - This was not an undub per se, but rather a restoration project
which I called "Undub Uncut" for the lack of the better name.
