PCB Productions, noted localization house, had the game on their credits list until a couple days ago.

Gonna be so weird hearing some classic characters with English voices. >.>

Is this the one that's going to be turn based?

Yes, the subtitle Like a Dragon is a reference to Dragon Quest. The reason the game is turn based is because the main character is a huge Dragon Quest fan boy and wants his game to be turn based.

But I'm one of those weird people who always uses the dub in games, so I'm more likely to play the game now.

How was Judgment's english dub?
It was great, actually. The only issue is that they didn't dub everything. Crowd noise and several incidental characters (that only say interjections and don't have fully voiced lines) are in Japanese. This can be a little jarring in a couple of substories in particular because one character with fully voiced lines is a potential girlfriend for Yagami, while her brother only has interjections so he only has some incidental Japanese filler voiced.

I mean, "Like A Dragon" is also the name of the series in Japan: "Ryu Ga Gotoku".

the original title for Yakuza games in Japan is "Ryu ga gotoku", which is literally "like a dragon".
so this is like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard kind of thing.

I'm too used to Yakuza being in Japanese so hopefully they include a dual audio option.

by DLC, likely.
i mean why they even bother giving dual audio if everyone will just use the japanese dub? money can be get from locking the jp voice.

Both FOTNS and Judgment had dual audio available by default with no extra downloads. I see no reason why Y7 will be any different.

not everyone has a problem with English voice acting. Or some people like doing multiple stuff at once and they can't do that if they have to read English subtitles.

I've spoken to several people over the years that end up turned off by a game if they have to listen to Japanese voices and read the text.
