Is there a way to learn which versions contain Japanese D: ? I honetsly just want English and Japanese and Chinese which are yet to be revelaed, but mostly English and Japanish, everything else sounds so basic next to Japanese!

Not sure if this has been discussed, but found this article on game.co.uk.

'We pick things up at the start of the game, as Lara is shipwrecked on a mysterious island off the Japanese coast. Still a young student archaeologist, she's part of an expedition looking for the fabled island of Yamatai, which was supposedly ruled by a queen with shamanistic powers and an army of samurai.
It soon becomes clear that they have indeed found Yamatai in the storm-tossed waters of the Bermuda-style "Dragon's Triangle" - but they've also found more than they bargained for. There are some scarily savage men on the island, as well as a ruthless gang of scavengers - and perhaps some more mysterious presences still. The group is split up and they lose radio contact with another, while Lara falls unconscious and then awakes hanging upside down and bound in a sort of cocoon amid the trappings of some weird cult.'

Anyone think she'll actually find this 'queen'... Possible end boss of the game?

Oh!!! That sounds great :jmp: !

Thanks for posting :tmb: !

There is only one Queen and that's Sam. Therefore Sam will be the final boss. Btw, this whole description sounds like there's a bit of gameplay before the Den, can it be possible? Oh wait. Cutscene.

I know the text tr_mitch posted isn't in white but still:
Spoiler: Shamanistic Powers = Supernatural Elements in the game :jmp:

I'll be glad if they did, I like the realistic way tomb raider has been developed, but I still think they should have 'supernatural' elements within the game... It's always been in tomb raider, and makes going further into tombs and such so much more exciting.

OMG, CD lied again :vlol: !

Oops! We did again, we played with your heart,
added stuff in the game.
Oh fanboys, fangirls!
Oops! You think that we're good,
that we're telling the tru-u-uth,
we're not that innocent!

:vlol:

HUH? Fans all over the world were going crazy, when Karl said there won't be any supernatural elements...But changing the mind about it afterwards is still bad, as "ZOMG - CEEDEE lied to us!!!"

People should really rethink their definition of "lying".

I've always wondered about the meaning of this "realistic approach". They make Lara go through more **** than ever before, yet still alive and kicking. That completely destroys the sense of realism for me, not that I play a game for this reason. :p
But there's no TR without supernatural to me. Elements play a big role in the game as they promise, and the island's diversity suggests that perfectly. (Heck, the desert map just got proven too) We've seen fire, water and wind appear already, there could be more behind this than just the environment/weather itself...

So that means there is swimming too.
