She also appeared in Thousand Arms, a Playstation RPG in which you date 
girls in order to make stronger weapons. She did pretty well, as I didn't 
know it was her 'til I read the credits. I think she was Sodina, but again 
I'm not sure. Also to whoever said videogame dubs are great, I generally 
agree with you, but try Dead or Alive 2:Hardcore or Onimusha. Thank God you 
can switch to the subtitled version, especially Onimusha which sound like a 
Godzilla dub.
