English dub differs largely enough from the sub translations that I can't really recommend it. Feels like a ton of important story stuff comes across differently and annoyed me.

Are there no sub-stories in Sotenbori?

I don't mind most of the changes in the script from the JP version to the EN localization. The latter catches on very fast that a large part of Ichi's appeal is being a good-hearted goober and really leans into it in little moments that count. There's one instance where Japanese script Ichi will use a gendered insult, even if at the time it may feel earned from his pov. English script Ichi absolutely fails to use that same gendered insult because he's too much of a nice dingus and that was a pleasant surprise.

That’s kinda what happens when two people/teams translate the same text. The folks at Sega make sure that the general gist of everything matches up at least.

But the English version saw an opportunity to make it a character moment and bless their hearts that they did, because it really sold me on English Ichi as distinct in his own way.

i speak enough japanese to actually play games in japanese to begin with and lol the english script/dub is totally fine it's arguably one of the best localisations any game has received in the decade, the fact that they even went to the effort of including two kinds of english translation is way out there SuccinctAndPunchy fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jan 10, 2021 |

my only complaint about the dub is there was times where the cutscene would advance before the line was finished, otherwise it was fantastic

Always feels good to do around 2 hours of Saejima's substories and treasure map hunting in Y5 to get a game crash error and have to redo it all...I'm so drat glad they put in autosaves.

It's a heat move yakuza moment. kasuga is absolutely allowed to say it providing he knows at least 3 women on poundmates app.

It's pretty remarkable that in a game about organized crime, gang wars and assassinations that the words "psycho bitch" should feel out of place.

Finished Like a Dragon, my first ever Yakuza game. Loved it. Best JRPG I've played in years. I'm going to go back and play the others, starting with 0 (knowing they have a different type of gameplay). Kiryu seems like kind of a self-serious prick compared to our loveable, good-hearted dumbass Ichiban. Is the tone of the earlier games more serious?

WhiteHowler posted:Finished Like a Dragon, my first ever Yakuza game. Loved it. Best JRPG I've played in years. Oh god no. Kiryu and Ichiban are both Gods Perfect Idiots. But Kiryu is the straightman, Ichiban the goofy one. Still a comic dynamic, but a different one. Kiryu is basically just trying to get through his day, and solve his yakuza adjacent problems, but goofy poo poo keeps getting in his way and hes too good a dude to say "I dont have time for your crazy bullshit right now". Edit: You could argue the tone of Kiwami/yakuza 1 is more serious because it is based on a PS2 game where the tone of the series wasnt quite set yet, but its still "serious yakuza plot/goofy side poo poo", but slightly more skewed towards serious plot.

Like others said, Kiryu isn’t really up his own rear end, he’s more just the stereotypical stoic manly guy, even in the main story he ends up running an orphanage for a while. Story Kiryu is rad as poo poo cause (Yakuza series as a whole spoilers he’s the guy who just facetanks punches like Ichiban’s all day assuming anyone gets to his face while also carrying that stony stoicism into sidestories; which honestly largely makes his funnier than Ichi’s cause his stoicism while being dragged into poo poo like getting a bubble man clothes works better than Ichiban’s earnestness for laughs.

I mean, it's a matter of who's saying them, yes? Ichi is literally a Dragon Quest hero with a job in the mob, and you wouldn't expect a Dragon Quest hero to refer to anyone as a 'psycho bitch'.
