Should I buy the Japanesse Version?

I'm really conflicted. I already preordered the American, but I can get the Japanese through the PSN (right?) and play it now. But then I'll probably end up paying for the same game twice?

Not if you don't understand japanese, it will just make it less fun the first time round and remove any surprises the second time around.

The Japanese version isn't going to be as good as the NA version.

Save yourself the regret. You're going to want to see as many boobs as you can...

Yea, I'm gonna say it isn't a good idea. Besides the censored scene, the story won't be as good or as memorable if you do not understand Japanese. I really don't think it would be worth it, you should expirence it the way it was ment to be expirenced.

It may be fun to get it after you finish the North American version, though.

i concur. i suggest you wait for the NA release in June. i know how it feels tho cuz i preordered pw in a gamestop and then i got tempted and upgraded my preorder to the "collector's edition" and am waiting for it. i was kinda tired of playing the demo cuz i've played it to death and i downloaded the JPN version and tried to play it on one of my psp's with cfw (5.50 gen-d) and i can't get passed the cutscene after paz talks about something. it just freezes. my point is i was willing to forgo waiting and spoil a little of it for myself cuz i couldn't wait but funny enough i couldn't really get to the meat of the gameplay anyway. it's like i was meant to really play the english version :D . so i suppose it is just better off and worth playng the NA version once it reaches our shores and releases June 8th. plus it'd be a waste of $$ to buy the JPN one on psn when you're already getting the NA in a month. the clock is ticking...

... What everyone's saying. In my opinion, the English cast makes the game better and you get to see the censored scene.
