He's like the most top tier voice actor they can hire for the game so they're probably getting the best out of him. That's likely the reason why they didn't get a fluent English person to voice him.

He just put a lot of effort into it. It is quite impressive really.

@@jcman-lp6lg In my head cannon I am just gonna think that Ichiban has been using Google Translate or asking Tomizawa to help to get by his day, just that they don't bother to show this kind of trivial details on the screen.
That *would* make sense, but I don't get why they didn't just have the guy who voiced him in the English dub speak English for him in the Japanese version too
How the hell Dwight and Bryce speak fluent japanese? Also, nice to see Kei again. She was in the live action Cabaret in Gaiden and now she has a in-game model. All of her talk about being a streamer is actually true, her actress Kson is a VTuber or some shit
im confused on why they didnt use danny trejos voice for dwight for the jpn dub when he spoke english, did they rlly need to hire another voice actor for him when he was already voicing his own char lol
Yeah it's really friggin' odd lol. I'm sure there's a mod that does that though (or will be made eventually), not to discredit the guy they hired, but like, c'mon, Dwight is blatantly meant to be voiced by Trejo in English.
To answer your question, the JP voice track was probably recorded months in advance before the eng dub was even recorded. Meaning that all the English speaking NPCs that you hear are probably English speakers living in Japan working for agencies out there. Two completely separate audio tracks that they just can't splice together lol
@@casko3175adding to this - with RGG Studio putting so much effort into characters’ mouths matching the dialogue, and the English and Japanese scripts probably being different even for English dialogue, I guess it would’ve been too much work.
Why didn’t they just use Bryce’s English VA and Danny Trejo. Why even have Danny Trejo facescan if you’re not gonna have him in for the Japanese dub where the majority of players will use? He could had just spoken English and everyone just understand him it would had been fine.
Honestly they could've just use AI with a little tweaking. The ones where they replaced YongYea with Japanese Kiryu AI to English in Gaiden was very good and accurate.
NGL, peeps sh*t on the english dub but Japanese voice cracked me up on serious parts specially with Bryce when parts are supposed to be very serious but his accent makes the scene a joke.
It's strange that they use Engrish Bryce when they have his English dub, since you have those small scenes even in the Japanese dub where characters use their English VA. For Tomizawa I get, since he's of Japanese descent and associates with Yamai, a yakuza, but Bryce is Caucasian, no? Ah, well, it's a small gripe. It's not like Engrish Bryce sounds terrible, just...awkward.
@@miken8875 That’s a bit lame honestly, Bryce’s English ruined my immersion because why does an American speak fluent Japanese and has a fob accent when speaking English 😭😭😭 Tomizawa and Eiji can honestly be excused but not Bryce
The same reason why they don't cast someone who speaks fluent Russian and English for the role of Black Widow. Can the casting director find one? Yeah probably, there are loads of people out there who can do it. Among them, can they find one that does what Scarlett Johansson do? That's the issue I think.
@@kd0079budgetary reason as well. They already spent their money getting danny trejo and daniel dae kim in the game, would they still willing to spent them on someone like mackenyu, tao okamoto etc.

Honestly, some parts of the Japanese dub kinda make me glad that I chose to use the English dub since it’s my main go to ever since Yakuza: Like a Dragon. At the same time, I just love English dubs since I like how American standards are for acting as a whole. Especially if most of the game takes place in America. **SPOILER WARNING** And personally, Yong Yea did a really god job with Kiryu, especially during the fight with Ebina, genuine screams from Yea sent CHILLS down my spine. He actually nailed the screams that Kuroda did. I can see Yea being a good next gen English Kiryu, as with Kevin Afghani carrying the torch for Mario’s new voice actor
Yeah, I think he needs time to adjust and they need to have him try to go lower more consistently, more or less. His voice to me was perfect for Kiryu during the serious moments where he spoke in lower registers, but I can just imagine that would be hell on his throat... then again, maybe just getting more experience doing it would help.
All this discourse about Bryce is so entitled lol, if you play with Japanese voice over then you made the choice - if you want English then play the dub, RGG aren’t gonna do a third voice over version for whingey weebs who expect a game tailored to them.

i wonder if chinese/korean language spoken in this series by japanese va are accurate too, or they just as sound as goofy as engrish too

My guess is that they didn't record the English dub simultaneously (given how Gaiden's dub was delayed) and so they used their own actors.
