I'll try and make time for this game next year, on PC maybe... (for the mods!)
Japanese version of BG3 coming. A WRPG game that was originally made to rival JRPGs now coming to JRPG home turf lol
from siliconera:
Larian Studios set a release date for the Japanese version Baldur’s Gate 3. The fantasy RPG game will be released on the PS5 in Japan on December 21, 2023. This version of the game will arrive about five months after the initial release worldwide on August 3, 2023. It will be priced at 8,580 yen ($57.55). Pre-orders for the physical version are being taken starting today at Japanese game retailers nationwide.
Spike Chunsoft will be publishing this release of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Read a new interview with Baldur's Gate 1 and II writer and designer James Ohlen, mentioning that BG II was inspired by Final Fantasy 7 and KOTOR was inspired by FF7 and Chrono Cross:
“I went and played Final Fantasy VII and was like, ‘Oh my good god, these characters make ours look like a bunch of cardboard cutouts. This is terrible.’” The disparity convinced BioWare to up their game, leading to the complex journeys of companions like Jaheira - the grieving wife and activist, whose sense of duty has been shaken by so much loss. he continued to be influenced by their character work - all the way up to Knights Of The Old Republic, which was partly inspired by the twist-laden Chrono Cross. That and Star Wars, of course.
