I wonder if they're talking days? Weeks? Months?

I mean - they don't have a physical release of the game, so it's going to take a couple of weeks for me to even play it as it's coming on the slow boat. Also sucks since this means the English dub won't be on the disk itself.

 

[Skelterz]

Is this the turnbased Yakuza title? If so that’s a damn shame. I swear they already announced no physical copy also, Why are we being shat on? I know this is a somewhat niche title but didn’t Like a dragon do the best numbers in the series?

 

[Killer8]

Sega themselves are saving us from Yong Yea's casting as Kiryu.

Not turnbased, this is Kiryu Brawler style. This one is the "side" game, the next mainline game is in January.

 

[adamsapple]

I mean, ok.

I play these games with subs anyway so this doesn't effect me.

Ahh thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

I'd like to know how many people wouldn't have used the English dub anyway. 80%? More? Less?
It really doesn't bother me, but I guess including the dubs from Day One was expected by everybody. Didn't this happen with 13 Sentinels as well?

 

[ElCasual]

But the disc of Playasia is "Multi language" how is that?

 

[Shifty1897]

First no physical release, now no dub at launch? This is supposed to be one of Sega's tentpole series and they're treating like garbage.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Hong Kong and Singapore?

 

[Nankatsu]

Sorry Yong Yea, but no Yakuza fan gives a flying fuck about English VA.

Subtitles in different languages most likely. OP just says 'dub'.

 

[Comandr]

Yong Yea's Kiryu sounds like a young man trying to sound like a growly old man. Kiryu is in his 50's. No way in hell could I enjoy Kiryu portrayed by anyone other than the legendary Takaya Kuroda - who is, incidentally, actually in his 50's.

 

[tommycronin]

Delaying the inevitable of trash he's gonna be as Kiryu. I'll always be grateful I started playing Yakuza with the Japanese voices to avoid shit like this. Have we heard any actual official studio voice of his attempt at Kiryu yet?

 

[Metnut]

Maybe I’m the minority but I play these games with Japanese voices and English subtitles. The game is set in Tokyo and it helps with the immersion.

 

[LordCBH]

I’m playing in Japanese just so I don’t have to hear yong shit all over kiryu, but holy shit Sega. How do you fuck this up so bad lol

 

[Skifi28]

These games are always best played in Japanese anyway.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

That's pretty stupid- either give the game a dub or don't.

 

[EDMIX]

I'm saying.

I got scared for a second.

This shit doesn't matter to me, I was never going to play with that horrid shit anyway lol This a non-issue for most of us

 

[Pimpbaa]

I’m pretty sure you have to cut off one of your fingers if you play a yakuza game with dubs.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

English Dub?

lol

 

[Krieger]

Anyone who plays the Yakuza games with the english dub deserves a Tiger Drop in the nuts.

 

[KWAB]

Who cares Yakuza in Japanese is better.
Yakuza in Japanese

 

[GymWolf]

And missing the incredible dong yaya dub? Sacrilege.

 

[Labadal]

This game will bomb hard.

Said by a guy who plays without English dubs most of the time, and who also pre-ordered the physical Asian version.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

better not have any of these dodgy antics with infinite wealth

 

[Fabieter]

No biggie with like a dragon tho.

 

[Roufianos]

Sega probably trying to save themselves from Yong's awful impersonation of Kiryu resulting in a few points being deducted from reviews.

 

[SimTourist]

Playing these games with english voices is shameful.

 

[SScorpio]

I’m pretty sure you have to cut off one of your fingers if you play a yakuza game with dubs.

Hey now, avoiding dubs would have us miss out on Mark Hamill's Majima.

 

[Hudo]

Dunno why but the "Kiryu games", I tend to play with Japanese dub and English subs. But the "Ichiban games", I enjoy the English dub quite a lot. But since this is a "Kiryu game", this news doesn't affect me.

 

[saintjules]

Sorry Yong Yea, but no Yakuza fan gives a flying fuck about English VA.

I am getting Michael Jackson "Scream" / "Jam" vibes here.
