Life Is Strange: Japanese Version

[Avalanche_Rick]

So Im probably the only person in the world who likes watching things he likes (movies, tv shows, and games) in different languages. Im excited for the Japanese release. The font seems readable (for me at least). From what I've seen the script is faithful with a few tweeks like Victoria saying "Out of the way!" in Japanese while she says "Yes... excuse ME Mr. Jefforson." in the English script. As far as the cast goes, I dont know who voices who.

Wow that looks cool thx :D! I love hearing both languages in games, movies but in anime I only use Japanese. I wonder if there's some familiar voice actors.

I would love it if there was a japense voices and english subtitles option in this game! Don't get me wrong! I think the voice acting in this game is really good but meh, I don't know, hard to explain. It just feels like japanese would fit it so much better!

Agreed, it just adds a kind of "charm" to the game that english voices cant do :P

Also, your "Only fools and suckers rage at games, only idiots spoil the game for others." comment is inspirational mate, 10/10

Well in the Japanese release there is an option for English subtitles. I looked up online and sites like Play Asia and Yes Asia have the Japanese version for pre order for $30-$40. Seems no XBOX option just PS4 for the retail version.

So the Cinematic Trailer came out last night. I forgot to share it because I got some feels just by watching it.

After playing through the Last Of Us in Russian I discovered that Russian Nolan North is way less creepy.

Awesome. Sounds well done. Now turn it into an anime...

You could always import the ps4 version. No xbox one version as I stated in the op post. You can get it at Play Asia and Yes Asia for $40. I'm importing for sure. There is a chance the steam version might get the Japanese dub. They could just be talking about the console versions.

I keep forgetting to update you guys on who will be voicing the characters in the Japanese version. My sources are from the Japanese twitter account.

Will the Japanese lanauage version be available in the west?
Either as a free update, a separate client or a paid DLC?

The official twitter account (English) confirmed that it won't but there is a possibility for the Steam version because I believe steam uses an international server. As for consoles it's a definite no. You would have to import the Japanese ps4 version or download from the japanese psn for ether ps3 and ps4.

[Avalanche_Rick]

I think Im starting to notice a trend, most of the announced voice acotrs haven't done much in terms of voice acting like they haven't gotten a lead role in anything and are just part of the supporting cast. The Japanese dub does sound pretty good so far so maybe thats nothing to worry about.

Hahaha... David sounds like such a tool.

EDITED TO ADD: For the most part it really fits. But Jefferson is so flat...

[komoki_emrys]

Japan only? Come on now, I wanted to play it in Japanese. Many people would buy it.
