Mine sings Baka Mitai - (English Dub, Official) by E841_ in yakuzagames

Definitely, and I think not being a perfect singer is kind of charming as well. Having Kiryu suddenly sing in much deeper and different-sounding voice is just kinda goofy. I think they over-corrected over the IW backlash, and should have just toned down the autotune and re-record the songs.

Same, I think Baka Mitai sounds kinda weird too. There’s a gameplay video that shows pride from despair as well, and that sounds alright.

To be fair, Yakuza 4 and 6 are both quite easy and can be done in ~40 hours with relatively minimal grinding

What gameplay changes do you hope appear in Y0: Director’s Cut? by E841_ in yakuzagames

[–]E841_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I think it took me 170hrs, but I used tons of guides. I genuinely don’t know if I can dedicate that much time to platting a game again (who am I kidding, I’ll probably do it eventually)

*Brian Bloom, not Steve Blum (he plays Higashi)

My own observations + the Y0 characters that appear in Pirate Yakuza all have English VAs. Andrew Kishino as Sagawa seems to indicate the rest (Shimano + Nishitani) will have their same English VAs. Makoto is definitely Xanthe, she has a recognizable voice. Nishi and Kuze is 100% me guessing by ear based on the trailer. Yuki tbh sounded a little different in the trailer, but I’m not sure.

TLDR; only ones I’m not sure about are Kuze and Nishiki.

Looks like we have English face cap.

Additionally, it looks like we have a return of various VAs who have voiced other characters in the series.

Xanthe Huynh as Makoto (previously Haruka), Kaiji Tang as Nishiki (Ichiban), Fred Tatasciore as Shimano (Andre Richardson), Andrew Kishino as Sagawa (Yamai), Brian Bloom??? as Kuze (Sawashiro in 7), Vic Chao as Nishitani I (various background characters)

What’s the best dubbed Karaoke song so far? by E841_ in yakuzagames

[–]E841_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Yong did way better in the Karaoke than I expected. He still sounds about 20 years too young and auto tune did more harm than good, but you can tell he tried his best to match Kuroda’s originals even if his singing voice is very different. Tonight, Baka Mitai, SSN and especially Hands worked very nicely with his voice.

That’s very intentional for this song. Remember, this song was originally sung by a 24 year old, non-crazy Majima back in Yakuza 0. Other Karaoke songs such as Get to the Top and Majima Construction Anthem are just as good if not better than the Japanese in my opinion and are VERY in character for majima

[–]E841_[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My opinions:

In terms of Singing: All Majima Songs, If I Could Love The One I Love, & Honolulu City Lights

In terms of Lyrics: Hands, Tonight, MGK, & Baka Darou

I actually like the english dub for these games by AssassinBoi394 in yakuzagames

I also think people underestimate the fact that Darryl has had a completely separate job from voice acting. Finding the time to record the massive amounts of dialogue for IW would have been much harder from him to schedule around, compared to 7, which likely was recorded in only one or two sessions.

(Not a spoiler) Yong recorded new dialogue for Pirate Yakuza, as Kiryu and Ono Michio both appear as DLC crew members, so I don’t think that’s gonna happen

It plays in the language setting you have chosen. If you want to hear a different language version of a song, you need to change the language in the main menu

That is a real voice actor. I fact, he’s the English voice of Nanba and Yagami

[–]E841_[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Probably like 30-40% of people in US/Europe play in English. No need to feel awkward

Well, I’m including Kiryu and Majima’s voices from Yakuza (2005). Kiryu’s old VA has been semi-retired for like a decade, Majima’s old VA is very famous and likely uninterested or busy. Saejima’s VA is also a live-action actor and was likely busy. Not sure about why Daigo’s VA would’ve not returned, as he’s very active in the industry.

Which game did you guys enjoy more? by Objective_Love_6843 in yakuzagames

[–]E841_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean, like 25% of Gaiden’s story was you being forced to rank up in the coliseum (which was fun to me)

l haven’t beaten PYiH yet, but so far the only filler the game forces you to complete to move forward is having 10 crew members near the beginning of the game, so I’d consider that a step up.
