And I really hope that the voice acting (and the writing) is much improved and up to today's standards.
I've heard him do some bits and it sounded like before I think. I personally would likely start with Japanese and do another playthrough in English. I've done so with other games.
I suspect that the voice acting might be better in general. It's more common now compared to then and I guess that Sony and/or Deep Silver might provide input or help in this case. As for the writing, the localization was likely a bigger problem. Some Japanese phrases got translated too directly here and there.
