Yusuke is loving hilarious, he's autistic to the extreme. I like the part where he awkwardly blurts out to two random girls in yukatas that they are shaming their womanhood :laffo:

Best advice I was ever given?

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Persona 3 & 4 English VA were stellar, unless they really dropped the ball I'll most likely play 5 in english too when I buy it.

some of the dialog is a little stilted early on but the VAs in general do a great job with what they're working for

the only major english VA I didn't love is haru, the helium voice was a little too strong

I came off of Yakuza before Persona 5 and the translation is night and day. Yakuza was so incredibly good. Persona's was extremely utilitarian that it almost felt if they just ran it through Google translations and just fixed up the sentence structure a little.

The Yakuza translations are literally better written than 99% of western games I've played. The localisation team on those is incredible

It would just feel weird to have someone speaking the dialogue in english that I'm also simultaneously reading in english, like there's a redundancy in that kind of thing that doesn't mesh well.

I wish Yakuza 0 had an English track, the cutscenes are great but if you look down at your phone for a second you're hosed. (I mean assuming you don't speak Japanese.)

I hear the one for the PS2 one was actually good.

Yakuza 0 probably only got a US release because Sega figured they could get away with reusing Japanese voiceovers, grizzled dudes shouting gruff Japanese at each other is like half the reason I loved it, and wtf are you doing looking at your phone during a Y0 cutscene.

The Yakuza 2 remake is gonna probably be the best Yakuza game so far by a mile. Y6 was seriously short on side content compared to the others but had a vastly improved combat system, while Y2 is completely full of crazy things to do. Both of those strengths together is gonna be nuts.

A good compromise would have been to reuse Japanese VA's for every character except Shimano, who's voiced by Michael Madsen in English again.

Native english games just have voice acting? They don't write everything out in text bubbles that the characters intermittently speak over as you're reading.

Yep!

Sega 1st party probably has way better access to top localization than their atlas colleagues, sega is keen on making a real play for a worldwide yakuza audience and going all out on these games, persona would sell if it had an all dolphin va cast. Lotsa reasons

Oh, I was thinking subtitles during cutcenes or whatever but yeah, Japanese games have a tradition of text plus voice for basically everything. I'd gotten so used to it I didn't even think of it.

Let the fools who stand before us be destroyed by the power you and I possess.
It's worth noting that up until 0, the Yakuza translations were done by a third party company. They still did 0, but it had an editing pass by Atlus and Kiwami was translated by Atlus alone.

The mongol is voiced by Patrick Gallagher, who is half Chinese. The model is obviously based on his face as well, but since he is half-Irish, they have made accentuated his Asian features a bit.

But for real, that's what he looks like. I recognized him right away.

Edit: I mean, yeah he has no accent because he's Canadian.

Well, I stand corrected. I watched the Japanese trailer first so I guess it just stood out more.

We need more release dates on some of these announced games. I'm fairly certain the next PS4 games I'm interested in are Digimon Cyber Slueth 2 and the Secret of Mana remake. Also give me that Sucker Punch Samurai game.

Maybe PSX will drop an "OUT NOW" game.
