RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS posted:Take a picture with your phone or whatever. Come on, you're asking for help, don't make me boot up the stupid game. Sorry.     The HDD install is the more confusing one; The options can just be trial and error, but instead of resetting multiple times, I just wanna know if there is a subtitles option in that list.. Also, I intended to drop the idea, but after seeing the voice acting play out, I'm once again curious how a more faithful translation might compare to the original localization of Yakuza 1. Here's some text to see if anyone is willing to take a stab at a rough translation.

Sure, I'm up for a bit of very rough translation. I've never heard the English version of Yakuza 1 so I have no idea how close or far these are. My underlings should have told you the situation yesterday. That doesn't mean much coming from you, since you're clearly preparing to skip town. Also, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep. The Dojima group just does collections and hits, doesn't it? People who don't pay up get made examples of. That's what everyone says! Say... People who won't pay saying what is and isn't...(incomplete) Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Feb 10, 2015 |

I do have to admit, I'm curious to know what the original Japanese dialogue for "I peacocked your mom last night" would have been.

Here's the English version of those lines; When you don't pay your debts, I'm what you get. I'm supposed to believe this poo poo as you're packing up, getting ready to bail out!? I'll say it slower. Where is our money? I've heard about the Dojima Family. You guys collect your debts at the end of a gun barrel... Right? When someone doesn't pay up you kill 'em to prove a point... Everyone knows... Listen. That's just a rumor... spread by fools that can't pay their dues. I singled out those lines because I was curious about Kiryu's early characterization, the reputation of the Dojima Family, and Shinji's curiously consoling response to a guy clearly trying to cheat them. Things seem fairly close, so I can really only nitpick over the "feel" of the lines and the way they are delivered. I was going to post some lines from the next cutscene to compare Majima's characterization, but I don't know if it would be worth it. Although I did notice in the localized version, they replace his grunts with screams of "loving!! MOTHERFUCKER!" because Sega of America had a bad word quota to fill on this game.

Still enjoying 3 but...man the "run after a guy" mission type is not at all fun. One downside of having a franchise that puts out a new game every year is that I'll probably have to look forward to this type of mission showing up in every one of these games.

Since I already had some Majima lines, I might as well post them. Localized version of this; quote:Relax... And going back to look at the old PS2 footage compared to the HD remasters, I am seriously blown away by how much nicer the remasters look. So much more vibrant. If the character models had a higher polygon count, you would really think this was a PS3 game. I wish I could just do LPs entirely off the PS3 versions, but it would be way too messy to overly english text over all the gameplay parts.

Just finished the first chapter with Saejima in 4. I quite enjoyed it! Lots of manly speeches and feelings and the scene with the "washed up" bag was cute. Being able to pick up motorcycles and mopeds is great! Fighting Uncle Kaz was scary as hell - I haven't actually played any other Yakuza games but I've seen enough of them to know what Saejima was getting into. It'll be interesting to see if the game will try to redeem Saejima or if it will just kind of drop the whole mass murder thing. The prison was so badly guarded and run it was kind of distracting though. And I definitely would have preferred to live my life without ever watching the first scene with Saejima and Haruka. That was uncomfortable as hell.

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah. To me, being word for word accurate is a very low priority for translation, and the official translations posted above seem almost ideal to me. Transliteration can result in incorrect translation, as Hollywood aside, languages aren't mad libs. I mean, this is a language where the English "that's a stupid idea, you're stupid for asking, and I'm stupider for listening" would translate as "Ah. You wish to do (insert thing here). That would be... Difficult."

Renoistic posted:It'll be interesting to see if the game will try to redeem Saejima or if it will just kind of drop the whole mass murder thing. It gets resolved...that's all I'll say. And just a tip: A couple of times in Saejima's chapter you can't run around and do whatever you want because the cops will be looking for you. Just get past those as quick as possible and you can get back to "normal." Also, you don't miss anything because you can always run around as Saejima (or any of the 4) in the post game.

Yeah, same here, but eventually you realize that, like, the effect of calling someone "oniisan" in an English text is nothing like the effect in a Japanese text, so it's not really more true to the text to do that.

repost: Giving Yakuza 4 as a ps+ game was an excellent decision by Sega because I've never bought a Yakuza game and never knew what kind of game they were but now that I've played 4 I'm definitely going to buy 5. Now I really want Yakuza 0 for ps4 if it ever gets released in the US

I wonder if I need a Japanese keyboard to actually be able to input Japanese into the consoles. When it comes to Yak5 I cannot find a demo available; https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/ja-jp/%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2/f=%5E%E9%BE%8D%E3%81%8C%E5%A6%82%E3%81%8F%7Cbucket~games Most likely it got taken down since Sony wanted money per download(ed amount of data) in the PS3 times, that's why they removed Valkyria Chronicles and more demos.

Yakuza series is pretty drat well known for the protagonist being the triggerman but not the killer, a similar situation happens in Kurohyou. But yes, Saejima's speech was pretty drat tearful. Saejima is proof that not all crime sandbox characters treats murder so casually. gyrobot fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Feb 12, 2015 |

Also in Yakuza 4, once you beat the game, you unlock Adventure Mode, which lets you run around in basically a sandbox version of Kamurocho, with no missions to complete, just the ability to run around completing sidequests and playing minigames, but this time in goofy costumes. You can switch between characters at will and do everything then.

Oh. OH. Also, do everybody's training quests (Akiyama with the dude on the roof, Saejima with the underground tunnels, and Tanimura with the Korean girl) at some point before The Final Battle (You'll know when this is). There are three special items that are obtained. Give all three of those items to Tanimura before you cross the point of no return. Trust me.

Really I just didn't want to take the time to restart and equip him with stuff and watch all the cutscenes over again after I had made it that far through everything without issue.
