DOA3 - Characters speak Japanese?

[xboxking]

In DOA3, when the characters talk they seem to be speaking in Japanese (with english text)?

Is it just me or is everyone's copy of DOA3 the same as this?

Most of the characters are Japanese, and the game was designed and made in Japan, therefore, they speak Japanese. Hence, the English text at the bottom of the screen called subtitles.

Ok thanks for clearing that up.

However, it still raises the question, why Tecmo didn't use english or american voices or language? I mean how hard would have that been to do.

I guess it gives the characters alittle bit of foriegn feeling.
