Got the EU copy of XC2, downloaded the JPN voice-over free download pack from the US eShop, works the same.
No idea if the same applies to its DLC. What I usually do is wait until I completed the game enough to decide if the experience is worth it to get a DLC. I was impressed enough with BOTW, to get its DLC (although I end up didn't playing it that much after that
). Will decide later once I finished XC2. Already 35 hours in and in chapter 4 of the game and it's been a blast, some sections are even better than BOTW, frankly speaking.
The combo system is pretty expansive. Blade combos, Driver combos, Affinity MAX combos, Joint finishers, Arts canceling, ........ and then there's the importance of positioning in the game while executing these Arts.
Even while I'm at chapter 4 already, the game still puts out tutorials when introducing new game mechanics. Without spoiling anything, one of the main characters in my party has yet to unlock the potential of its Blade, and from the setup screen alone it's intimidatingly complex.
I usually play my characters overpowered, (mostly by grinding their levels), but this time, I left it as it is by going through the main quest with a few side-trips for the side quests without leveling up. Reason being, I'd like to train myself with the timings of the combos, positioning, and Blade switching (already filled my Blade slots with the three Blades from the Core Crystals I wanted). The hit timings somehow reminded me of the time I played Vagrant Story on PS1, and those were fantastic good times.
