Ugh.... I wish they would just leave the Japanese voices in and add some English subtitles, instead of replacing the original voices with a horrible dub.

Not all English dubs are horrible. Some are. It really depends on the studio. Some companies just can't find the right voice actors, and end up hiring people who either don't fit the character, or just aren't good voice actors, but some do a really good job.

Anyways, this game is going to have dual audio, so it doesn't matter where you stand on dubs vs. subs. XSeed normally just sticks with Japanese only audio. It looks like they partnered with another studio for the English voice casting. Regardless, I'm glad this game is coming over here. I was intrigued by Akiba's Trip 1, and almost downloaded it from the Japanese PS Store, but my Japanese sucks. At least now, I can finally see what this series is all about.

A Look Back at Acquire's Games for PlayStation Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Just like Artdink, Acquire is a quirky Japanese developer with a history of experimentation and big ideas, but has unfortunately been at the mercy of low budgets throughout the years, leaving gamers with some fantastic titles that suffer from a large amount of jank. Acquire worked on Vita from its launch in Japan through to early 2017, injecting a nice level of variety to the console’s library despite some of the technical shortcomings of its titles, making the company a prime candidate for examination here."
