All these American stores, all this American food, instead of yakuza Hashimoto fighting you, it's some random dudebros named Raymond and Carter picking a fight with you lol, spending American dollars and seeing American dollars in cutscenes. idk what the Japanese dubs are like (I'm playing in English) but I imagine there must be a lot of English there too.

Man, after 9 games of nothing but Japanese stuff, this is jarring to see non-stop American shit in Infinite Wealth. It's like I'm having a weird dream >_>

does it still have people speaking in Japanese outside of cutscenes?

like, the regular dudes you fight or the people you might hear when walking around?

because I've played a little, and heard them in Japan but I haven't gotten to Hawaii yet.
Don't you agree, Zach?

I'm playing with the english dub, so I can't say. If anyone playing the Japanese dub can let us know, that would be great

oh yea, I'm also playing the English dub but sometimes I still hear a little Japanese when there are some characters saying something as you go around town or when you hear the tiny bits of dialogue when you're entering fights.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Don't you agree, Zach?

No, the game takes place in Honolulu, Hawaii. That's why >_> It's kinda fun to see Japanese interpretations of Americans lol

No, there's plenty of black people too and native hawaiians, but you definitely see way more white people in comparison

Man, nothing like going to an ABC store and getting a roast beef sandwich in a Yakuza game. It's like I'm really living in America!

Ya.. been in Hawaii for only a little while and have seen a few African Americans(which sadly there was a segment of the internet screaming bloody murder over Yakuza being woke because it had black people in it).. also had to laugh to myself that it took all of 5 minutes from landing for Ichiban to have a gun pointed at him(MERICA)

Whoa whoa I'm still Japanese! I just want to experience my native game in a different culture's perspective. It'll broaden my horizons and empathy for my homeland >_>

It still feels like the twilight zone that me and a bunch of Japanese dudes have to talk to this fat drug dealer to get info on some gangbangers with tribal tattoos in the slums

I would be willing to play it in English if Kiryu's VA wasn't so awful, but I guess all the Hawaiians will be speaking Japanese for me
Sack to crack, going to town
