Freedom Wars Remastered version 1.7 update adds Accessory voice language option among others
Bandai Namco and Dimps have released a new update patch for Freedom Wars Remastered that brings its version up to 1.7. One of the primary highlights of this update is the addition of an option that lets players choose the Accessory's voice language between Japanese and English.
This feature has been one of the most requested features in the game's international community. Its addition shows how the companies are listening to feedback from players around the world. Previously, they addressed requests from the Japanese version players to add Japanese text input for names, which was eventually added in the version 1.5 update on February 19.
The new version 1.7 update will not be the end of support for this remaster either. Bandai Namco and Dimps also teased that they will add even more features in future updates, such as the allowance to bring a substitute Accessories to any Volunteer missions.
