I'm really envy of English users.

I'm korean and SEGA doesn't makes Korean language even there's a Korean language in other consoles. ♥♥♥♥ you SEGA I bought your Yakuza 0 with the hope that you will make Korean language, How dare you are. ♥♥♥♥ YOU ♥♥♥♥ YOU

English should be ok.

[Pim]

Wow, you're entitled.

[PhrostB]

just learn english

What's wrong with English? While I get your point of it making no sense not to release it with a Korean text based localization if it's already available on consoles, but I think you're a little too rude. Who knows what their reasons are. However, I think it'd be a great opportunity to practice and improve your English, so just embrace it haha

[迈尔下去]

I Remember that PS4 Version had Korean（Yakuza 0,Yakuza
Kiwami ）

Just learn english? Its the easiest language to learn, you dont event have to master it tbh.

I know the reason for a fact. It's really, really difficult to translate media while retaining the same vibe. So many Japanese games have terrible English translations. The Yakuza series relies heavily on conversations between its characters to convey certain complex feelings and emotions. It's very hard to translate a joke or even just a sentence while not distorting its literal meaning or the underlying meaning. If you manage to do that, it still needs to make sense in the context. It's not just about translating a script, entire conversations need to make sense. I think the translation team for Yakuza 0 did an excellent job.

But this is the reason why it's English only. Translating in other languages would take too much time and resources, English is the de facto standard for videogames, so they made the right choice.

Well, not like it's not written in steam and you can purchase one game with that in mind. When i want a game with japanese audio, i scroll down, look to the right, and read.

It sucks yeah

Something I noticed in the Yakuza Zero screenshots section was a large number of shots with Chinese text on dialogue & most UI elements -- the store page does not list traditional or simplified Chinese among text languages suggesting that it's been modded in by lifting the script from the Chinese PS4 release, so it may be possible -- though a non-trivial task -- to do this with the Korean script.

Also if you read Korean & own a PS4 you get RGG Studio games simultaneously with the Japanese release (Judge Eyes and 3 & 4 PS4 already where the latter two don't even have an English-language release confirmed).

whilst i do understand that thats frustrating, english is the most widely spoken language on the planet, when translating a japanese game to english can reach 70% of the planet, its understandable they only translate to that language. and no, english is not my primary language either, its dutch, yet im not upset that they didnt translate to dutch.

I am Czech, and I learnt most of my English just from computer games. It was my chief motivation during my childhood, I had ZX Spectrum, and aside from local scene that produced a few games, nobody would ever dream about translating a game to Czech, there was the Iron Curtain in place between the west and the east, trade was moreless limited to smuggling, and if someone was lucky enough to get his hands on an 8bit computer, everything was in English.

And so we learnt, and never regretted, because even though gaming later bacame an industry and games started to be localized, the translations were almost always horrible, because the publishers were cutting costs by hiring only cheap and terrible translators.

Therefore, it's necessary to know English because it's the language of the computer world, just as Latin is the language of the medicine.

[Kushan Ier]

I'm French but i did Yakuza 0 and i clearly understood everything what the dialogues and the entire game said, so learn English mate

Since s/he speaks Korean it'd probably be easier to learn Japanese tbh. Very similar grammar, some similar vocab due to Chinese influence.
