      Gaiden didn't even have a physical release in the west, you're not even trying with this shitty bait. Try something else next time

      how do we feel about YOOOOOOOOOOONG here?

      the dissonance between all that sobbing and crying with the way he actually talks makes this scene so fricking bland

      Is 4's Hiroki Narimiya Restoration Patch worth using?

      yeah, it is. The new face and VA from 4 Remastered are still good, but a lot of characters mention that Tanimura is a pretty boy, and I just don't think the new face fits that description

    Yakuza 7 seems to have sold better in Korea than in the West.

    >Sakamoto: Yakuza 7" was quite popular in Korea. Perhaps it is because Koreans are more fond of RPGs.

    >─ I have the impression that "Yakuza 7" is highly appreciated in all countries.

    >Yokoyama: Yes. In Korea, the excitement was more than double the usual level, and in a sense, it was almost abnormal.

    >Sakamoto: In a way, it was an anomaly. Other than that, the main overseas markets are Europe and the United States.

      No, more like troony fatigue.
      Yakuza 5 for PS3 was almost as good 0.

      Did they make him record separate crying tracks and then they just put them on top of each other because he couldn't do the crying with talking in one take? lmfao

      He doesn't even sound like he's doing a voice, literally every scene just sounds like his normal voice trying and failing to sound tough. A comment a saw in the direct comparison to the old voice explained it perfectly. Kiryu's old dub voice naturally felt like a tough guy, while Yong's sounds like he's trying to force himself to sound tough.

        you're just saying that because you don't speak japanese so you don't know if it actually sounds good in their language or not

        Actually was surprised by Kuroda's capabilities in that scene. Maybe stellar crying Ichiban got to him.

    Pretty much every complaint and concern people had about the dub just going off of trailers ended up being exactly the case in the final release, yet somehow people still defend it.

      Ironically enough women don't understand Yakuza beyond surface level. It's always stuff like "lol I love karaoke xd does anyone else think Majima is le hot husbando and I want to see Kiryu naked??" while for dudes it's about actually talking about the intricacies of yakuza politics and the reasons these honor-bound characters act the way they do.

      Small brains means they can't form their own thoughts, so they have to regurgitate words they learn on Ganker, often not understanding what the word means.
