Every time I send out a set of questions, they go up in the box with the date I sent them. Then everyone can see what I'm waiting on. And it should boot the PRs and devs to make things happen faster.

Here's what I asked: - Will the game be subtitled in European languages with the voices in Japanese, or will new voices be recorded? - Will there be a 60Hz mode? - Do you have a solid release date? - Aren't you worried the game won't do well? Wasn't the release of the first game a bit of a damp squib in Europe? - Obviously, the fans are extremely excited about this, and are saying the fact you're releasing the second game in Europe means there's a much better chance of the third one making it to the west. Are they right? Right. Here’s what I asked:

The last game had a fairly good and moderately star-studded cast but it didn't sell very well. Could be an obvious money-saver to ditch the English voices.

I've only played the first (and demo of #3), but I felt it should have been much better than what it was.
