About the Story:
A long time ago, there was a beautiful land made up of three nations: Fuji, Izumo, and Hyuga. This land was called Mizuho. The people of Mizuho disliked conflict, honored their ancestral spirits, and lived in harmony with nature. However, over time, they began cultivating crops, forging and using metal, fighting wars, destroying nature, and neglectinng to honor their ancestral spirits. In the meantime, various locations in Mizuho suffered from natural disasters like flooding, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. In order to stop a destructive eruption, the Queen of Mizuho, Tsukuyomi, sacrificed her beloved daughter Sakuya to the mountain, confined her other daughter Kaguya within a bamboo seal in case of future disasters, and then disappeared. Thirteen years later, Princess Kaguya has grown into a beautiful woman and her childhood friend, Kintaro, saves her during a riot. She rises against her “fate to be a sacrifice,” and in order to follow her own path, they both escape from Fuji and journey across Mizuho to discover the truth behind Tsukuyomi’s decision.

And once again, it will have an awful English dub, but no subtitles for the original Japanese dub? Most ridiculous thing ever on the PS4 version, a shame for NISA to insult players by never releasing a patch to add the subtitles...
Carlove, this is absolutely not what I was talking about. Of course there is the Japanese voices, like on PS4. Except that the PS4 version has English text everywhere except the cutscenes. So the cutscenes are in Japanese without sub. NISA promised at launch to fix it with a patch, and a couple of months later when the fans bought the game already, they basically said "Get lost, there will be no patch, we don't care". I love NISA, but on this one they deserve a flop for insulting the players like that.
You will have to pay for the upgrade/game. It's like a GOTY edition, no reason to give out free DLC.
