We had to do a parody of one of Hamlet's soliloquies, and as I've been debating whether or not to just watch a Japanese walkthrough with English subs, this is the result.
To wait, or not to wait? That is the question.
Whether tis nobler as a gamer to wait
Until the North American release
Or to seek out news on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki
And thus to spoil the ending. To search--to watch--
And learn--and by to watch I mean I find
A walkthrough of the Japanese version on YouTube
With English subtitles. Tis a way to learn
The story which I seek! To look--to spoil.
To spoil, perchance to find plot twists; ah, there's the rub!
For if I learn the plot twists, it will not be the same
As when I play the game for the first time
With the English voice actors. There's the thing
That makes it so much better to be patient.
For who would wait six months while all the while,
Japanese kids play, walkthroughs are posted,
The wiki is updated, bloggers chat,
The internet abounds with news and
People easily translate Japanese,
When one could learn the entire story
In one Google search? Who would wait so long,
For months to pass while English is recorded,
But because the impact will not be the same--
For spoken words are stronger than subtitles
For drama and emotions--we hold back
And rather wait for the NA release
Instead of settling for subtitles?
Thus drama does make whiners of us all,
And thus the excitement for the Japanese release
Is not as great because of the wait for the North American,
