Ishin also uses the Zero engine I think.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Seems to be the case.

 

[karoliner]

Where is the announcement?

 

[LESS T_T]

English dub is , a waste of money, and absolute decline

It's gonna be Yakuza 1 all over again. I'm not usually that guy but I hope there's an option for the japanese audio in this case.

See the tweet above: it will have Japanese audio option and even a separated subtitle track (translated from Japanese dialogues, not rewritten for English VO) for that. Win-win for both Japanese and English VO lovers.

Twitter's blocked at my work (blessing and a curse lol) so couldn't view the tweet. Good to know.

They are trying to reach the retarded audience who cannot into subtitles.

 

[sullynathan]

Weeaboo's can't hang, English dub is the way to go

 

[Abu Antar]

I read that there won't just be dual audio, but also dual sun. Very interesting. Probably going to play in Japanese with the script that suits it. I say this as someone who plays most dual audio games in English. Yakuza Studio games are to be experienced in Japanese, that is how I am used to play them. Also, I still have scars from the Yakuza PS2 dub.

 

[Red Rogue]

Played Kiwami for a bit. Graphics aren't as good as the rest and combat is rather shallow.

It's on its way to Steam shortly. I'm sure it'll look much better there.
I'm planning on playing it then as I loved the shit out of zero.

 

[ColonelTeacup]

To progress the Yakuza series, Kiryu has to be killed off. Hes been there too long. They should kill him off and replace him with the little girl as the new protagonist, with batguy watching out for her.

 

[Abu Antar]

If Kirbro is retired, I want Akiyama to take the lead if they don't go with a completely new character.

 

[ColonelTeacup]

It needs to be a fresh face imo, and tied to the yakuza or it starts with you earning your way into a low position in the yakuza. Similar to the bitch work you had to do in sleeping dogs for the triad.

 

[Urthor]

They could literally ship Kiwami already, idk why they haven't finished the Steam port

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Kiryu IS retired now. The protagonist of Yakuza 7 is a new character named Kasuga Ichiban:

He looks jewish.

 

[Urthor]

I mean it probably had to happen, otherwise we'd be watching Kiryu in a walker frame in Yakuza 8

 

[Hobo Elf]

Doubt they'll ever truly retire Kiryu. We'll likely see him in spinoffs, or at the very least they'll use Takaya Kuroda as VA like they did in the FotNS game.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well they did toss around idea about maybe making Yakuza Zero 2.

Which is basically same as saying they'll totally make a Yakuza Zero 2.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Muh 80's.

Looks like disco/funk dance minigame incoming?
