[Necrovex]

Don't mess with my heart like this.

 

[hunterst]

great news if true! All I want is

1. don't cut any contents out
2. no region-locking
3. no dub, or if have dub give us option to use JP voice.

 

[cyber_ninja]

In a Steelbook special edition PLEASE!

I'll take any edition at this point!!!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Perfect response.

And come on, there's no way they'll dub this. The budget would be through the roof for a fairly niche game. The last four localized had no dub, they know it's not necessary.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I will buy the CE if they do. Oh my god this could be huge for us fans. ATLUS... Gods.

 

[Yawnier]

Just when I had lost hope for localization of this game for several months now too, this comes completely out of left field. lol

 

[zod18]

This would be awesome, I'd be okay with english texts and unchanged voice overs, just let me enjoy the game on my PS4.

 

[Atolm]

This would be awesome, I'd be okay with english texts and unchanged voice overs, just let me enjoy the game on my PS4.

How? The game is PS3 only.

 

[Mr. X]

Please be true! All I need is the text translated ;_;

SEGA already confirmed Ishin (PS4 title) to be getting a Western release didn't they?

 

[Blueblur1]

This is great news for Yakuza fans. It would be smart for folks to buy this product so we'd have Atlus do this kind of thing for Sega on a regular basis. I've never played a Yazuka game but I'd give it a shot.

 

[UnluckyKate]

stop it right there ! the way to get more games localized is not asking on forums, it's supporting the franchise. if anyone wants Ishin, buy Yakuza 5 first ! (and watch Takeshi Kitano's Outrage, awesome yakuza stuff, it will get you pumped up)



low, there will be a japanese dub

I will buy Yakuza 5 full price and then send flower to Atlus Europe.

 

[King Gilga]

God I really freaking hope so. Please let this be true, Yakuza 5 would be the first full price game I've bought since Yakuza 3 if it is.

As for dub.... Yakuza 1 had a good dub, but it would be really weird having 1 and 5 be dubbed but everything in between not. Just leave it as is.

Takaya Kuroda's voice also gives me the will to live, so either way they better not cut out the original voices.

Do people really not understand the highly specific set of circumstances that caused to lock P4A?

Doesn't matter what the circumstances were, still unforgivable.

 

[gibbsy24]

I really hope this happens!

 

[Animekatt]

Yakuza 3 was the first game I played in the series. I later bought 1, 4, and dead souls. Please let this come over!

 

[Silky]

Playing through my first Yakuza game right now (4).

I want this.

 

[kuroshiki]

I don't believe this.

 

[MavFan619]

I hope this turns out to be true, I need more Yakuza.

 

[King Gilga]

Yakuza 3 was the first game I played in the series. I later bought 1, 4, and dead souls. Please let this come over!

Why'd you skip 2? Now you'll never be able to use your fists to beat up giant tigers in a golden palace that magically appears from the ground full of samurai.

Man that game really went places compared to the others.

 

[carpediemdp]

Please be true! All I need is the text translated ;_;

I think it was hinted by someone here. Can't remember who.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I think it was hinted by someone here. Can't remember who.

Verendus. Sega hasn't said anything about it being released here.

 

[RangerBAD]

Please be true! All I need is the text translated ;_;

SEGA already confirmed Ishin (PS4 title) to be getting a Western release didn't they?

Hahahaha. No.

 

[rvy]

SEGA lied to Verendus.

 

[Dragon1893]

Hopefully it's not just conjecture on the site's part.
I refuse to get on that hype train until we have something concrete.

 

[KingGiddra]

I refuse to get excited for this until I see a press release.

This is SEGA.

Do not get excited.

 

[genjiZERO]

Atlus, you better not dub this.

It would keep me from buying it. My time is limited, and Japanese language would be a necessarily criterion for a game like this.

 

[Honey Bunny]

If it sounds too good to be true..

 

[pje122]

Oh wow how 'bout that!

 

[RoryDropkick]

oh hey, Totobeni's favorite game in the series

 

[Slashlen]

If this is true, it would be incredible. Not just for Yakuza 5, but it would show what Sega plans to do with Atlus US. If Atlus US becomes a pipeline for the more niche Sega titles, it would mean we keep getting all of those Atlus titles and Sega stops holding great games back.

 

[cj_iwakura]

oh hey, Totobeni's favorite game in the series

I swear he gets a message alerting him to anyone expressing interest in Yakuza 4.

 

[Derrick01]

SEGA lied to Verendus.

An insider on here being wrong? That's never happened before!

 

[Prelude.]

SEGA lied to Verendus.

Did he ever say anything about 5? AFAIK he said that Ishin is coming and that's it.

edit: nvm, I can't read.

 

[RoryDropkick]

If they remove the original audio I'm gonna commit public sudoku.

I just imagine you going outside and sitting on a park bench, working on a sudoku book like an old person

 

[Big_Al]

I swear he gets a message alerting him to anyone expressing interest in Yakuza 4.

Everytime he reads about someone liking Yakuza 4 I keep imagining him like this

 

[Prelude.]

I just imagine you going outside and sitting on a park bench, working on a sudoku book like an old person

That will teach'em.

 

[cj_iwakura]

That will teach'em.

We'll have to put you inside a blast furnace for the full 999 effect.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Now can Sony just buy Atlus? What happened to the whole purchasing situation months ago? DId Atlus decide to just stay solo?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Now can Sony just buy Atlus? What happened to the whole purchasing situation months ago? DId Atlus decide to just stay solo?

Sega bought them, which is why this may now be possible.

 

[Neoxon]

Now can Sony just buy Atlus? What happened to the whole purchasing situation months ago? DId Atlus decide to just stay solo?

Sega bought Atlus.

On the plus side, neither Nintendo or Sony get screwed over.

 

[8bit]

Why'd you skip 2? Now you'll never be able to use your fists to beat up giant tigers in a golden palace that magically appears from the ground full of samurai.

Man that game really went places compared to the others.

Yakuza 2 has Be My Baby, doesn't it? BEST MISSION.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Sega bought them, which is why this may now be possible.

Sega bought Atlus.

On the plus side, neither Nintendo or Sony get screwed over.

Ah okay, thank you.

 

[demosthenes]

Take my money Atlus

 

[Village]

Pat are you ok?

Have you fainted?

 

[Quixzlizx]

Here's hoping.

 

[Tohsaka]

Read this in EGM the other day. I didn't really think it was thread-worthy given the accuracy of the Q-Mann rumors in the past. I really hope this is true, though, and that they don't ruin it with a dub if so.

 

[HyperBitHero]

Please be true.

 

[The Bankslammer]

Yeah, sure.

I'll believe it when a localized copy of the game is in my own two hands.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I would shit my pants.

And I would be happy about it.

 

[BronsonLee]

As much as I hope this happens, it is extremely telling that a solid amount of people here are asking for more shit in addition to the localization

Pick your battles, guys

 

[Dariso]

Fuck yeah this needs to happen. Hopefully Sega will let Atlus handle all future localizations of Yakuza titles.Also don't waste money on a dub.
