Gosh, if so I hope it does really well. With the cast, it seems much more expensive then the regular Yakuza game LOL
Is the combat pretty similar to Yakuza? I love the yakuza story but i just can't get into the combat so i always end up dropping the games half way through.
More important than english dub, they should spend that localization budget on translating subs in more languages. I have several friends here in France who will never touch a Yakuza game because they don't understand English.
Anyway, I'll be getting this day one, it's one of my most anticipated games. I was hoping it would come a little sooner but summer is still okay.

Wow, this is crazy! This means that the English subtitles for the English dub will be different than the subtitles for the Japanese dub, so there won't be any situation where the subtitles won't match what they were saying because they had to take liberties with the dub. That's a lot of extra work and they will still manage to release the game just half a year later after the Japanese release. Rock on, Sega localization team!
Adapting the game for English audio generally means making additional localization compromises to facilitate natural sounding dialogue, and ultimately even playing with Japanese audio, you'll be reading a transliteration of the dubbed script. This isn't inherently an issue for me, but at times in games it leads some funky dissonance between text and native audio. As I previously said, I'll follow the game's development, but if I don't particularly care for how the dub is sounding, I might pass on the title.
::edit::
Just saw the above post/tweet. Looks like they'll be producing a separate set of subtitled text for the Japanese audio, so my previous concerns are apparently unfounded. That's really going above-and-beyond and seriously appreciated.
You should probably check out the post directly above you.
They're doing two separate subtitle tracks. lol
looks fucking amazing and glad to see dual audio is confirmed, not that there was any doubt. def playing this subbed
been calling it judge eyes for these past few months that now having to call it something else is weird lol

Lol I don't understand ppl be on go mode everything a Japanese game gets a dub
They want to see if they can expand the series sales potential, which is fine by me. After so many games, I think I'll stick with the Japanese dub, anything else in Kamurocho would just be weird for me now.
Doing an English dub just shows they have high hopes for this game.
Yes, it even takes place in Kamurocho. Not sure if it will reference any events from the Yakuza games, though. It might be as "easter eggs" for fans of the series but outside of that it will be fully playable and understandable even if people didn't play the Yakuza games. It's an entirely new IP.
Yeah, I saw the post/tweet above mine the second the page reloaded. SEGA deserves props for this, because it's not a decision most companies would be willing to make.
Oh man this is nice.
I will play my first playthrough with Japanese for sure but I'd like to play the game with English VA on my second run. Also this will help get more people into the game which is super cool.

Wow look at that, SEGA realized that making a quality localization of a good game would be rewarded. If only someone told them that for years and years...
Cool, was wondering as the trailer mentioned it in Kamurocho and it being run by Yakuza. I do wonder if we will meet Yakuza characters at all.
Yeah definitely. Since Yakuza is also at a point in the story that is prime for people to jump into the series as well (I'd say more than 0 even), I can easily see Shin Yakuza or whatever it'll be called having a dub as well.
Plus if they're really smart about Judgment being a new series, they should alternate releases between it and Yakuza yearly. That way itll be at least somewhat of a better pace between entries. They both fill that type of game so I can see it happening.
yeah prolly what i'm going to do
first run sub
second run like 6 months later dub -- cancelled if the game is bad but you know that isnt happening
