@AnatoneRich I have played the games in the FF7R series with English voice acting and Italian subtitles. The subtitles are a translation of the original Japanese screenplay, and trust me that the level of difference between what I was hearing and what I was reading was almost disturbing.

@glenn_mcdonald ...Would you be interested in having a little chat (in whatever form you prefer)? I think this could be very enlightening for me and the whole SpotiGeM research team. If so, please DM me.

@AnatoneRich In Nier Replicant there is a version of the song Shadowlord played by a music box that acquires particular relevance especially in the recent remake.

@knut_kniffte @BethesdaSupport @DOOM Try installing 4-5 more language packs from the manage game content menu. It worked for me!

My latest article is a survey paper on popular music genre theories, trying to work as an introduction to the topic to those who are interested in it and don't know from where to start.

Out now on «Interdisciplinary Studies in Musicology»: https://t.co/au7aUtekkb

@_tmsantos_ In addition to those already mentioned, other that came to my mind are (plotwise) Parasite Eve II, Final Fantasy X and VI, Resident Evil Revelations 1-2 and Code Veronica, Dino Crisis.
