    If there's pretty much no major changes to any of the systems, then I can wait for a price drop if I want to rebuy.

      The only change in the game is that you can have them either talk in japanese with subs or just in englush.

        And they've upgraded some systems too. Which is always a nice thing. Besides, the Japanese voices are much, much better than the English ones.

          Were those upgraded systems bad in the original version? If I wanted to get the game,should I just wait for it to come to america,or just go out and get the normal version?
