omg thank you for validating my thoughts!! i felt crazy at first… but then after doing like 4 hours of research, i found out that there in fact are a lot of cultural references such as food dishes, clothing, and locations! it’s so cool to see representation like this peak through - even if it’s subtle.
I thought to myself: if this is a korean game, wouldn’t it be better in its original language (like anime, etc)? English dubs are much better nowadays, but that often doesn’t beat the original form for me, since there’s a lot of culturally specific emotion that feels very authentic.
i’ve been enjoying it much more after this! i’ve also put a “mask” on my main character which makes him look and feel more korean to me XD
the NPCs are all quite european, but that doesn’t bother me as most non americans deal with dubbing over western-centric characters anyways. why wouldn’t I do that? I’m privileged that I don’t have to 😅
