Why does everyone speaks japanese?

[Gonsnakex]

These guys are in Hawaii and almost everyone speaks to them in japanese, wtf

[Henry Mark V]

It is a video game

[Wingnut Mcmoomoo]

why does galactic basic sound like english in starwars they're in a galaxy far far away, wtf?

Why is everyone british in void bastards they're in space, wtf?

Why does everyone from Darksiders speak english they're literal agents of the apocalypse, wtf?

Why do all of the fish in finding Nemo speak english they're fish in the ocean, wtf?

(its easier to write stories in languages you are comfortable in so people tend to do that, this is the real reason. Audiences usually agree to suspend their disbelief for such small things because we all understand it makes the story easier to consume and tell. Its also why people are seen as spoil sports when they try to point it out)

Because unless everyone in the world playing this game speaks both Japanese and English fluently, they're going to stick to one language based on the one you pick.

That said it does break the 4th wall a bit and off putting to hear Ichiban struggle to find someone who can speak Japanese in an American city when he's speaking English the whole time (if you have the English dub on), and even worse when he says his English is really bad (it's not, it's at least average). But we're supposed to remember that he's always speaking Japanese outside of that time when he makes it clear he's speaking broken English (like when he's getting into a fight with thugs harassing a girl).

That said there's already mods that will make characters that only speak English in the story speak English and have the Japanese speaking characters canoncally speak Japanese.

"Why do all of the fish in finding Nemo speak english they're fish in the ocean, wtf?" Why you gotta have a better question than the guy that started this discussion?

You're questioning this and not, purely for example, the number of Yokohama residents that sound like they come from California? wtf

bro... lmao

[Hellsteeth30]

Japanese speakers aren't entirely uncommon in Hawaii.

That said, mainly it's a videogame.

That said, it appears some of our heroes speak a bit of English.

Are you seriously telling me that for a $180AUD game, they couldn't be bothered to make an English dub? I must be mistaken. There's no way. Did they put that translation money into Denuvo so that they could cause more harm to the paying customers instead?

[Seiya]

The same reason why in Shenmue 2 every chinese people talks fluent japanese... or like every anime or serie or movie from Japan... is a japanese game bro... enough they did with some english spanish dialogue...

Are you seriously telling me that you are so confused that you thought all the aomplaints about Yongyea's english dub was about a Japanese voice-over? There's no way. Did you not learn to read English?

The game has an english dub. The entire YongYea nonsense is because his English Kiryu performance is lackluster

Because it's Hawai'i. Hawai'i is more like Japan than America, the Japanese culture is thicker there compared to Western culture.
