Japanese dub when?

[Lumberfoot™]

I always prefer to play games in JP dub when I can... Why isn't this game dubbed in Japanese. I'm pretty sure there is a strong DnD following in Japan.

[DeadBeat61]

Literally never. You'll have to play it in English with JP subs like the rest of the Westaboos, sorry.

[Izuzul]

Same reason it's not dubbed into any language other than english. Time and money.

[Metallicus]

Do what I do and ignore any games or shows not in English.

[Luckyleol]

actually iirc call of cuthulu is more popular in Japan, though they are fans of the fantasy genre in video games that was initially inspired by DnD and DnD inspired PC games which than became their own JRPGs style of games.

Speaking of D&D in Japan, I learned just recently that Lodoss War is basically their Critical Role.

Something that started like a popular D&D campaign narration and was turned later on in a separate IP.

Because the manga is still going to be better

And a separate game system named Sword World, which only uses d6s

Would really love full Japanese support as well.

The Japanese language is literally the most beautiful language for fantasy in general. The way how the pitch accent works with the high an low pitch in combination with the mora-timed way of creating words is just amazing. Also, the Japanese writing system that is a strange combination of historical Chinese writing and more or less random simplifications with writing rules even the Chinese are confused by makes Japanese an insanely immersive language for an RPG.

I really hope that Larian will start to enjoy Japanese and make all their games fully immersed into Japanese. While most people who never studied Japanese only think Japanese is a "weeb" thing, the reality is exactly the opposite. Japanese and anime has as much to do with each other as English and American Football and that is nothing. You can love Japanese and don't like anime, while you can love Enlgish and don't like football.

Japanese is the best language for RPGs. I really hope that AI and other modern technology will make learning Japanese much easier, so more people can understand why Japanese is so amazing and belongs into RPGs.

to be fair, even for non weebs, the Japanese dub of The Division takes it from a 6 to an 8. It turns it into Ghost in the Shell The Game

Good for you,

Enjoy the 2 games you're actually playing, for the next 2 decades...

[Muppethero]

maybe start a kickstarter and make a mod that does it. I bet you will find dubbing millions of lines dialogue is not easy or cheap

Isn't Call of Cthulhu the most popular pen and paper RPG in Japan?
