Wonder if it will be possible to have jap voice and eng text from the getgo this time or if you'll have to do the old "switch to japanese, copy the voice files, switch back to english, rename the japanese voice file to the english voice file and then replace".
Depends on the contracts with Japanese VA. Seems inane to not simply have options for non-JP subs, but if contracts are very particular to 'Japanese' release versions, then the publisher's hands are tied.
Imagine you are a Japanese worker at a prestigious JP video game company. You just clocked in, sat in front of your desk to work on the next game to be released and this giant chad walks in (holding a Series X like a bazooka as pictured), yells "KONNICHIWA MINA SAN" and goes on to explain in broken Japglish to announce the acquisition of the entire company. How do you feel at this moment?

I don't know what you're trying to imply, the only thing you could choose in skyrim was race compared to oblivion and morrowind where it was race, attributes, minor/major skills, birthsign.
>no normal person cares about pronouns. >till they were forced to in order to soothe some schizo homosexuals scorched asses
Like when major social media platforms force you to add it to your profile, or your employer forces you to add them to you pronouns.
Before then i couldn't give a frick how you identified and if you wanted to be called an attack helicopter, I would indulged you no matter how it clashed with my material reality.
But now that you've been such insufferable homosexuals about it and still demand more power to attack people who don't comply i think you should ask get fricked and I'm happy to point out the egotistical frick headery of demanding people recognise how to refer to you **in the third person** meaning the conversations you aren't a part of and you have no rights to dictate their direction.
So frick your pronouns and frick your schizophrenic fantasy.
I used the shit joke because I was being facetious you fricking moron. The fact it still has the power to scald your ass should indicate that you're living up to the bullshit I was just b***hing about.
Your 3rd person pronouns are irrelevant. Your desire to seek attention is not entitlement to it. Stop being a fricking moron and mind you own business instead of pissing in everyone's cereal because you don't know how to manufacture your own validation.
>Hey did you know you can be trans in this game? I know you didn't ask and this has nothing to do with your question, but you can totally role-play as trans. Even though trannies want to be the other sex, if it's your fantasy to be anguished over your sex assigned at birth, you can play out that fantasy in the game.
also >only 3 pronoun choices
"One Hundred and FIFTY, THOUSAND Lines...of Dialogue.... Hastily rendered in to the language of the Land of The Rising Sun...Japanese. Truly, our biggest accomplishment, yet."
It means the World to us that you want to play in our universe. We can't wait to see what you discover
Only to be abandoned like Fallout 4.
Japanese players had to mix English release files + Japanese files to get the latest bug fix cuz they simply stopped updating the Japanese version.
Doubt this will happen, Bethesda usually releases a separate "Japanese version" exclusive for Japan.
You're most likely going to have to download both versions(or just language files) and mix files.
I have no idea what's going on in this thread, its interesting to see Todd try and get Japan on the MS side. Snowball's chance in hell it'll work but hey, I'm interested
hang on, if its common for porn targeted at males to star a pretty generic dude for self insertion purposes, or big fat bastard giga rape gods, does that mean theres porn for women where the main female self insert is totally average or a fat b***h giga rape gods?
I'm trying REALLY hard to not go ahead and just buy Starfield now. I know I want it and I know I'm going to play this shit for years on end, but I'm trying to wait until it's official September date or a little bit after.
Bethesda is like the one western dev that does really well in Japan. Japs love them. Don't you remember how pissed Ganker got when half the Jap devs in existence called Skyrim their game of the year?
>Skyrim was the most chosen game in 4Gamer's best of 2011 poll of over 80 Japanese developers, according to Gamasutra's translation. >Some notable RPG creatives gave their vote to Skyrim - Final Fantasy XIV producer Naoki Yoshida; Phantasy Star Portable producer Satoshi Sakai; and Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino.
The one time the Japs just couldn't not admit western superiority. That's how good Bethesda is.
Well I guess if weebs don't like the English VA's then they can play it in Japanese, kek. I say this as a massive weeb myself, but I've never felt like Bethesda did bad with voice acting. Fallout and Skyrim had great English VA's. I imagine Starfield will be just as good in English.
>localizing >instead of letting you set mc's language in the character creator and having all the characters speak different languages translated by universal translator installed in neurolink
how do the alphabet gang's identities work in japanese? people are always addressed by their name there so japs are immune to pronoun demands right?
what's "they" going to be in japanese? Ano hito/yatsu or something?
Nips don't always address people by name its just varying levels of politeness
They have like a dozen ways to say "I" even though IRL you'd never use most of them unless you're trying to be cringe
kare or kanojyo usually to specify gender, the neat thing with the voices is they just use women for trannies so you can completely ignore it, and as always you can further fix things with eventual mods.
yeah but in practical japanese those are very rarely used, so there would be no reason at all to state your pronouns except in order to loudly declare how special you are
yup, it's usually just to refer to someone who's not in the conversation, even going so far as saying "あの男" or "あの女", literally "that man/woman" but that is even more rarely used since it can be quite disrespectful depending on the tone.

skyrim was pretty popular in japan, which is the likely inspiration for getting the jp localization done expediently
Bethesda's games have a relatively small but dedicated fanbase in Japan
fallout 4 and cyberpunk 2077 is very popular in japan so it seems like they like western scifislop
Nips love Bethesda. Oblivion is one of Miyazaki's favorite games.
KEK Demon souls was going to be from soft Oblivion

its over

you can't make shit up hahahaha

Wtf are you tooking at?

holy shit
frick off stupid gaijin
uh doesnt say that
Skyrim and FO4 were hits in Japan, I think the best selling western games that year. Many Skyrim modders are Japanese like TK
Japs are Reddit: The Country and Starfield is Reddit: The Game
: OOOOOOOOOOOO0000000HHHHHHHH I NEEED BASEDYYYYYYY!!!
they eat bethesda slop just like we do
Wtf dude, the JP modding scene for Bethesda games is huge.
>First 40/40 Famitsu score for a foreign game was Skyrim

japs don't give a damn about Sony nowadays anyway.
Japs love todd games for whatever reason.

The japs loved skyrim so it's no big surprise
I remember regidents of skyrim and dragonporn all have very cool japanese mods
KONICHIWA!
He is as shriveled and gaunt as an aids patient
I liked the japanese dub in skyrim but it was pretty mediocre in F4.
IF this mean we get a small jap modding community then I am all for it
Still not paying for your game toddler
>legit copy: 120gb
>fitgirl pack with only english: 30gb
yep, it's piracy time
Japs love todd kino, Reminder there's an entire jap fan translation for Morrowind because it never had a jap release officially
Is there some authist dragon ball mod of morrowind made by japs?
That's not at all unusual or exceptional. Every country has fansubber teams that work on games that haven't been officially translated.
so was skyrim what's the fuss?
>i can play with japanese voices
Still not pre-ordering
Weren't there people asking for the game to be translated to Korean as well, what happened to that?
IT JUSTUH WORKRUHH!!!!!!!!! WHO IS RAUGHING NOWWWW?!!!!!!!!

wait what this will not be like Oblivion? I might pirate it after all
Nice, I can play starfield with jpn voices
ありがとうございますToddさま
"One Hundred and FIFTY, THOUSAND Lines...of Dialogue.... Hastily rendered in to the language of the Land of The Rising Sun...Japanese. Truly, our biggest accomplishment, yet."
It means the World to us that you want to play in our universe. We can't wait to see what you discover
are you dub or sub, bros?
Good news if it means we get more degenerate Japanese mods
All the best mods that make character faces cuter are from Japan
Only to be abandoned like Fallout 4.
Japanese players had to mix English release files + Japanese files to get the latest bug fix cuz they simply stopped updating the Japanese version.
Does kanji really have the power to cut 100k lines from the script?
kek, I predict the voice lines will wildly differ from dialogue options
Wasnt this game when they realice that thing in fallout 4 was stupid? Amd this game your character is mute?
Yes, that anon is moronic. The player character isn't voiced.
Fallout 4 Japanese translation and dub is good.
The game probably has a ton of sarcasm and that doesn't translate over to japanese. They usually just cut it out and make it all standard jap
Playing it in english with japanese voices would be pretty neat.
Doubt this will happen, Bethesda usually releases a separate "Japanese version" exclusive for Japan.
You're most likely going to have to download both versions(or just language files) and mix files.
I will now play your game Todd-kun

I thought nippas were already buying Series S because of how small it is
they will charge extra for it?
Doesn't she get raped by a homeless man
KEK?!
yes but it was in a prequel
a goldmine of shitpostable images
That doujin of moded skyrim
I wonder if the author will amek a starfield one
hang on, if its common for porn targeted at males to star a pretty generic dude for self insertion purposes, or big fat bastard giga rape gods, does that mean theres porn for women where the main female self insert is totally average or a fat b***h giga rape gods?
and her brother as well I think
"why cant you draw normal manga?"
>500 lines per character on average
>most likely majority of the lines go to the main story
NPCs confirmed empty shells
>Japan allowing MS to own a Japanese company
lol
>not believing Big Poppa Phil gets what he wants
>300 voice actors
total? or just japanese?
when will the lies end Todd??
I'm trying REALLY hard to not go ahead and just buy Starfield now. I know I want it and I know I'm going to play this shit for years on end, but I'm trying to wait until it's official September date or a little bit after.
Japanese people are too based to give a flying frick about this cheap westernslop movie game.
Bethesda is like the one western dev that does really well in Japan. Japs love them. Don't you remember how pissed Ganker got when half the Jap devs in existence called Skyrim their game of the year?

why would they want to? that game is pure dogshit.

「Starfield」を買ったらどうですか。
Will we be able to play in japanese then, I did that with the tomb raiders but portuguese and it helped for like a few days.
I love how modern games have started to do this, just one more way to escape Black person-speak
how do the alphabet gang's identities work in japanese? people are always addressed by their name there so japs are immune to pronoun demands right?
what's "they" going to be in japanese? Ano hito/yatsu or something?
Nips don't always address people by name its just varying levels of politeness
They have like a dozen ways to say "I" even though IRL you'd never use most of them unless you're trying to be cringe
kare or kanojyo usually to specify gender, the neat thing with the voices is they just use women for trannies so you can completely ignore it, and as always you can further fix things with eventual mods.
yeah but in practical japanese those are very rarely used, so there would be no reason at all to state your pronouns except in order to loudly declare how special you are
(sorry I meant IRL here, not the game)
yup, it's usually just to refer to someone who's not in the conversation, even going so far as saying "あの男" or "あの女", literally "that man/woman" but that is even more rarely used since it can be quite disrespectful depending on the tone.
ok, thanks
What
said, Japanese is very context-heavy so if "I" or "you" is already implied by the situation or conversation then it is very often omitted from the sentence. As far as which 1st person pronoun you use for yourself, there are numerous pronouns with varying degrees of politeness and masculinity/femininity (e.g., 俺・僕・私・あたし・Etc). A person who identifies as "they" would probably use one of the above to suit their preference (and perhaps get a strange reaction accordingly if it didn't match their outward appearance or mannerisms).
Wtf ???
It means I will not buy the game AND on top of that, it will be in Japanese ????
Awesome news.
I will literally play this Japanese dubbed and english subbed
it will vastly improve my experience
Finally I understand the purpose of the pronoun picker. So you can play an orekko.
Don't people know Skyrim was literally Japan's GOTY when it came out over there?

Speaking of Sony, they don't have much on the table this year aren't they? They got FF16 and it kinda floundered, now only Spiderman 2 remains.
