But the problem is that the localization team went out of their way to make the lip sync for the whole game just for the English voices. So if we change the audio to Japanese, then the lip sync will go wrong, making it kind of weird to look at >.<. Hmm I'm pretty much with you all the way on this. For some parts the English voices just don't fit the scene at all, but the second half of the trailer is more or less decent dubbing. My favourite parts are: Serah saying "huh?" (3:05), and Hope's dad saying "you're my son! This is your home". My least favourite part is Sazh saying "don't ask me" (6:11), because it sounds really out of place -.-. He's better off saying "figure it out yourself!". @atmchino
