It does have Jap text and voice for PS3, and I hear also for PSVita.

So thank you!

Added PS3's Lair (full) and Dead Rising 2 (text only) to my page 5 list, plus a bunch of X360 games. Also noticed that theclaw is still updating his list!

Tears to Tiara II(PS3) has Japanese Audio with English Subs. There is no English audio option.

Yakuza: Dead Souls(PS3) is the same I think.

Also the Valkyrie Chronicles PC port has Japanese Audio Options but the subs are limited to the cutscenes/events. Think the PS3 version has been mentioned before as having the same options as well.

This is correct. It's also true for the western Yakuza 2, 3, and 4 releases as well. The only one that had English audio was the first one.

That reminds me, we still have to compare versions of multi-platform games.
Some I listed for PS3 or 360 probably are the same for the other system.

Also no, I didn't get confirmation either way on USA PSN Final Fantasy III. After 2 years decided to remove the request.

Most are the same for PS3/X360. Some differences:
Battlefield Hardline & Borderlands 2 GOTY have full jpn on X360 but none on PS3.
Someone posted (i think) that Bionic Commando has jpn on PS3, so I checked on X360 and there's no jap there.

added PS3: MGS Ground Zeroes & Phantom Pain (jpn text)
added X360: MGS Phantom Pain (jpn text)
added X360: Borderlands Pre-Sequel (full)

@theclaw (and anyone else),
Burnout Paradise PS3 I swear had jpn text, and now doesn't. Tried disc with no patches, & with 1.9...is yours still working? If jpn content use was removed by a system update, other games'll likely be affected too.

A weird one is PS2 Ys The Ark of Napishtim.
In USA or Japan, you can enable any mix of English/Japanese voices and subtitles via secret combinations in its cheat room. How many players found THAT accidentally?

The PAL release changed things up by using a standard European subtitle language menu that doesn't include Japanese.

Someone told me about those 'Ark of Napishtim' cheats last week while searching for a JPN release!
Added:
Binary Domain [PSN tested]
Bravely Second 3DS
Resident Evil Revelations X360

I think Revelations 2, the HD versions of RE 1-2, & RE Zero also have Jap for both systems, but i have not tried those myself.

Sounds like FFXV has Japanese.
