I'm not some fucking weeb that has to have everything in sub. I usually prefer the dub unless it's really really bad cuz reading sucks >_>

But idk Yakuza is different. 95% of the series has been in Japanese and turning on English just feels weird. It sounds good, but it just feels so out of place given the history of the series >_> I'm switching it every hour. I'm leaning towards Japanese so far, but I haven't committed yet.

*Major Spoilers*
I heard Majima and Kiryu are in this game, so I looked up their English scenes and it's so jarring to hear them talk English >_> I definitely am leaning towards Japanese just for how uncanny those scenes are to me lol. One really cool thing that I'll credit is that they got the original English VA for Kiryu from like 15 years ago to reprise his role again >_>

I watched a couple streams, the english is surprisingly good and well delivered.

The dialogue is actually fun, if you don't speak japanese I feel you would be missing out

I've been playing in english the last 3 hours and I think I'll just keep it >_> The dub is pretty good. i really just had to get used to it.

Right now I just went into a sex shop and bought a bunch of dildos to equip on my party members. This game is amazing!

nanba's english voice is too gruff and "badass" sounding, hell, he's supposed to be younger than ichiban, but ichiban sounds like he's in his 20's

Nanba is 41 and Ichiban is 42 >_> They're pretty much the same age

I think the tone of each voice underlines their outlook on life. Kasuga is optimistic to a fault and Nanba is just so world-weary.
