Can't tell if trolling or not.

But I'll bite anyway.

You do realize that a HUGE part of the fan base speaks English, right?

And do you really think the game will sell at all (to anyone other than rabid fans and even then not so much) if there is no English dub?

When I was working at a video store and Pan's Labyrinth came out, people were PISSED that it was only in Spanish. That movie was INCREDIBLE.

I seriously cannot believe that anyone could have this opinion. It's just beyond absurd.

We need to stress the incredible turn out for this AMA. Over 730 comments.

Will players have access to both the Japanese and English voice overs for the game?
And I wanted to say thank you so much for Shenmue and Shenmue II, it brought a tear to my eye seeing those games at E3 during the Shenmue III announcement, I cannot wait. Those two games are what made me curious about Japan as a child, and I am now trying to work as a Japanese translator!

I am thinking about that, yes. However it is not for sure.
It is because of fans like you, I wanted to make a sequel. Thank you very much.

So no jap/eng for now (did he actually said he'll make english dub?)


No but considering the Kickstarter video was in English, he spoke in English, and he was in the USA for the big reveal. I think he knows the English speaking fans make up a huge chunk of us. Especially American fans that only ever played the games on Dreamcast and Xbox.

I want it in English with Corey Marshal. I know people are split on the VO's in this community, but we should have the options. I reckon he is going to do both anyway but giving the option for either in all regions makes great sense.

Q: Any possibility of a bicycle finally being added to Shenmue 3? Thank you so much again, Yu!

A: There is a 60 horsepower bike in Shenmue 1. For Shenmue, 3 I was thinking about something with 1 horsepower.

I actually would prefer to just have Japanese audio. However you are right that not having an English dub would be detrimental to sales. Shenmue is already a very niche title, having only Japanese audio would alienate even more people.

Hopefully the "no bandaid" won't be a tier xD

BTW I also said that I'm ok with just japanese audio, to be honest I like the voices from EN shenmue, but it's not a big deal.

But maybe from a marketing point of view ENG dub is better than jap dub, this is no yakuza, I think it'll sell better to eng users.

It's been going on for two hours now. Yu needs to be really patted on the back here for being such a trooper. Most AMA's are only a mere hour long but here Yu is still going on like a soldier. It truly shows you how much he loves this fanbase. =D> =D> =D>

@mue26 your question was answered!!!

Q: Will character polls compromise your artistic vision?

A: I really want to get everyone's opinion on the characters. I have something in mind that won't break the world immersion.

Maybe that's what the Kickstarter-backer-exclusive extra Ryo skin includes? I.e. no band-aid and maybe a different jacket?

Uhh... bicycles don't have horsepower. Something with one horsepower would likely be a horse.
