Sometimes I'll do it if it's the original language of the game. If there's a lot of stuff that doesn't get translated, like in battle dialogue, I'll keep it on English, though.

I changed the voices in MvC3 that sounded better in Japanese. Most of the Capcom characters and none of the Marvel ones (don't think they had a Japanese voice anyway).

Other than that, no.

English dubs for games are usually half-assed and only partially voiced compared to 100% of lines voiced in Japanese with much better casting choices.

Ninja Gaiden feels more natural in Japanese until a non-Japanese character speaks, like Rachel, Irene, and everyone in NG3.

I'll typically play in English given a choice, especially for action games where it totally breaks the flow if you need to read subtitles in the middle of something or refer to a log for dialogue you missed.

Depends on the game and the quality of the voice acting for the languages.

If you do that and Japanese isn't your first language; I find you to be an absolute waste of life.

Sometimes. The Dragon Quest mobile game I am playing is raw Japanese and I think it has helped solidify hiragana and katakana in my mind.

Edit: Proof. (Very old video. Back on my first account.)

I watch anime in Japanese with English subtitles, but I prefer my video games to be voiced in English.

Yes. In fact, I have every device (that has a language setting) set to Japanese to create some sort of artificial immersion. Since I can't afford constant trips to Japan nor do I live there I need various ways to maintain the vocabulary and grammar I've been learning. At first it was incredibly bothersome (especially when it came to using some software like Adobe Photoshop) but now it even feels kinda weird when a device I own isn't in Japanese.

What one must do to learn the language one loves.

EDIT: I must mention though, when it comes to media I always prefer the original voices, no matter the language.

He did, didn't he. Hopefully it was just an autocorrect error and not how TC actually refers to the language.

I go out of my way to NOT play in Japanese, unless it's the only option in the world to play that game.

Exhibit: Star Fox Adventures. Language of the game follows the region coding of the console it's played in, as weird as it sounds. Once I found that out I mothballed my copy because I only have a Japanese GCN, to play when I actually have the time, money, etc. to get an American one.

Nine years later, still waiting.

If the game has Japanese characters or is set in Japan then yes. Luckily I don't play very many weab games to have to do this.

Almost never if it's an option.

Unless the English VA was legitimately terrible.

No, because I don't speak Japanese. What would be the point?

I do swap it to French occasionally, though, for practice. I rarely see games that have Mandarin options, and my reading is shit anyway, so that never comes up.

Plus, I find that even if the acting isn't great, it's less noticeable in a language I don't understand.

If it's genuinely better, than yeah. For games like Breath of the Wild, where the english voice acting is much better for all but 2 characters, no.
