Someone who will not buy Yakuza 5 at all because it has a JP dub only really wasn't interested in a game so engrossed in Japanese culture. Otherwise, Yakuza 1 wouldn't have flopped as bad as it did. |
That's the most absurd thing I've read today. What if GTA3 was German with English subtitles? Would it's gameplay have been so good that it wouldn't have absolutely bombed anywhere else? I bet Naruto, DBZ, and Pokemon would still have been international mega sensations without their dubs. Let's not forget MGS, though. That franchise would absolutely still be relavant if the PS1 original only had Japanese VA, right?
Give me a break.
