Kirino and Shindou sound decent though, and the other characters sound just right. I dunno if I'd say "just right". While I do think Haruna's voice fits, I'm not a big fan of Kudou's, I don't think it really fits his "quiet and cool" character. I don't really think the girls' voices fit, either, mostly do to their English accents being very heavy despite not having any sort of regional naming like some of the others.

Though I am glad to see how voice heavy the game is. When Inazuma Eleven came to the States, there was surprisingly a new dub that came with it (part of the reason it has yet to come to the UK), and while there were only a few cutscenes and voiced lines in the game (so a lot of the characters had the same voice actors, the really wasn't a need for more), they had some pretty big names doing the dub like Kyle Herbert (Teen Gohan, Kamina), Bryce Papenbrook (Eren, Masaomi Kita), etc. The voices really fit their roles (Surprisingly, even Endou's voice fit, trying to mirror the energy of the original)...and sounded good!

I mean, we just got the first IE game, so I don't expect to see GO over here for a while, but I'm anxious to see how they'll approach the game when it does come over, what with the improved dub that we got in IE. Who knows, if it does well enough, we might see a redub of the anime. Unlikely, but I'd love nothing more.

Having said that, I really wish, especially now that they're dealing with bigger carts, that they would leave the Japanese voice tracks in as an option for this one. I mean, Tsurugi...ugh...
