People can do what they want with the game, I agree, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to mock people who refuse to use the dub.

Unless you know Japanese, there is zero reason to use the original Japanese VA and if you do, I think you're a weeb weirdo. You're free to do it, it's your game, but you're still a weeb weirdo.

I like dubs but lmao

So, let's be clear here. You've moved the goalpost to now "this entire script wasn't edited and every line of dialogue is like this" right? I just want to clear that you're now not arguing "they could have translated some things better" but that the entire script has no editing or localization and no effort was put into writing dialogue. You're doubling down on this?

I saw it over and over in the one hour I played. I can't comment on the rest of the script because I haven't seen it, but they sure as hell should have done a better job with the beginning of the game.

Questionable translations and bizarre dialogue are everywhere in video games. Always have been. Dunno why this is making people get so worked up.

What I am bugged by is the fact that multiple voice actors have no idea how to pronounce the name Sakamoto and the voice director didn't bother to correct them. That kind of stuff is way more awkward than some esoteric line.

"I stood there, wondering why the puck was getting bigger...

and then it hit me."


They were apparently coached by the voice director to say it that way.

There's a bit where a character asks another if they want a drink and the person offered says "I'll have the one that isn't carbonated" (may be a little off) and the response is "They're both, actually" (is right).

Like, reading that, you know what they're saying and it's not especially wrong, but it's not how people actually talk to one another.

I still don't know why she sincerely responded to that poo poo when every other VA knew to keep their mouth shut, but she at least gave me an insight into who is behind the localization this time.

Why is everyone hating on poor innocent Sojiro

I'm still early in the game and dude's certainly uh, questionable but I'm constantly amused by him fretting about the MC's safety in these cutaways. Unless there's a swerve and he actually DOESN'T care at all they kinda played him being nice pretty early.

I just mean more that Sojiro is the kind of guy who doesn't shut up about how he's trying to get laid.

That's fair. Most of the stuff is just "Aw man I hope he has a umbrella." "Fine you can keep the cat, cats are cool :)" type things.

Some stuff probably slipped by me as I was half asleep playing last night though.

On the one hand, Sojiro wears a stupid hat and seems like a PUA tool.
On the other hand, he's voiced by Joji Nakata, so he's actually extremely good.

Sojiro is one of the few reasonable adults so far, even if he is kinda a jerk. The others being airsoft guy (also a jerk), and Tae, although that's kinda pushing the definition of reasonable at this point.
