Do you guys prefer the Japanese or English dub?

[Uncle Jon]

I usually prefer japanese voices in japanese themed games. Which do you guys like more?

[Sansei Muramasa]

Both are good.

[Don Lobo]

I've only played with the Japanese one on, but I've seen at least one full playthrough with the English VO and it's pretty spot on.

[cumgod]

after finishing the game twice, english sub and ♥♥♥ sub i think that both are good but i like the english more i dunno.. some npc's like the bucket carp dude from the hirata estate really do sound more interesting in english imo

[SlitheryDee]

I’ve been playing it with the Japanese audio, but recently I heard gyoubu’s opening battle cry in English and started wondering if I’ve been missing out.

[Kleerex]

English, as I can understand it. Japanese is just noise to me.

[Pnume]

Japanese.
Voice acting is pretty stellar IMO.

[Burdpal]

Japanese voice work with English subtitles. Yes, Gyoubu is hilarious in English, I know. But it just breaks immersion for me to be in Sendoku period Japan and hear English.

[Kevinx0517]

If you are an English /Japanese native speaker maybe Japanese /English works better. I prefer English but you have to say Japanese version of robert is quite funny.

[Arcamir Wraith]

Japanese voice work... mainly cuz Shizuka Ito is doing the VA for Emma.

[dande48]

I like the Japanese better. Direct translations always sound a bit awkward and off.

[Kamamura]

Japanese all the way. Always play games in the original language, if possible.

[lil dookie]

The english version sounds very good and translated. Only the owl dialogue is kinda awkward

[Yian Yan]

Having played through the game on each localisation I can say they all have their moments. I particularly like French Genichiro. English Gyoubu is a delight and Japanese Robert's Dad is the best.

If you're being super serious, it's probably just a matter of whether you want to hear the game in your language or weeb out hear it in it's original/appropriate language.

None of the performances in any of the languages were so egregious that I remembered any of them as bad (other than perhaps funny ones).

[Artek [General]]

Frankly i prefer english. Mostly because some characters have far better and well-suited voices. With Wolf being the most obvious example. His voice in japanese is a little bit over-acted in my opinion, i like his soft confident english a lot more.
Isshin also sounds way cooler in english too.

I was torn until I met Bucket Carp Guy

If there was an option just for his English dub I'd be alright with it
