PS Japan just stealth-released a Ghost of Tsushima Story Trailer with Japanese VO
- Thread starter Radium217
- Start date
Looks a ton better, but the lip movements not matching up is worrying. Hopefully that'll be fixed in the final game, it'd be seriously weird to play a game set in Japan, with English VO, dubbed clumsily into Japanese.
But yeah, as a huge Kurosawa fan, Japanese VO all the way.

They already released it originally, they just re-uploaded with the new date after the delay. Here's the original upload from March 5th which is now unlisted
Says it's a day old, but this is the first I've heard of it.
What is going on with this game's marketing?

Yeah I watched this version of the trailer at the same time as the English release.

With Japanese VO? Apologies if Old. I haven't seen it with JPN VO yet.
Yes, 2 months old from when they announced the June 26th date.
Ah good, I'm not the only one who heard Hijkata/Nakai Kazuya then.I love that the voice actor is the same as Zoro's
Most awaited game since a lot of time for me.
Even though lip sync is better in English, I think I'll play it in Japanese.
For those wondering: it is the "release date trailer", nothing new, they just changed the date to the new one.

Week and a half ago when they revealed the new date for The Last of Us Part II.
Yeah its easy to forget that for all the spotty lip sync we get from Japanese games, its the same in reverse/any other direction going towards a different language than the original plan.
This trailer got me excited for RT swords next gen. Imagine going full Kill Bill and being able to use your sword as a mirror.
Blows my mind that non-Japanese people would want to play a western game dubbed in Japanese. Then again, I've always been confused when people complain about their immersion being broken so I guess it has to do with that.
Holy shit, had no idea they were doing a JP dub, excellent news. The high-realism feudal Japan setting made those English voices seem very off-putting to me, my brain just kept saying "no" I think because of how realistic all the characters looked lol. I can easily put up with bad lip-syncing, so excited
It blows my mind that people willingly went into the options menu and switched Sekiro voiceover to English as well, but to each their own

I don't get your point at all. The game is set in Japan lol
it's the same reason people watch American films in English with subtitles in their native language. In fact, go to any western blockbuster film in Japan (minus Disney animated films because they're mostly dubbed here) where it's available in dubbed or subbed and you'll notice that the subbed theater is full and the dubbed isn't.
Switching to dub in your own language is not that strange. Some people process information easier via sound than text and other just don't want to read subtitles when playing a game.
It's only weird if you are not used to subbed media.
I always use the original language or the setting language (like French for AC Unity and so on)
That analogy doesn't really work because this is a game made by an American studio. The story, characters and dialogue were made by an American studio. If you want to hear the original performances as directed by the studio, English would be the best option.
Obviously, if everyone thinks it will improve their enjoyment of the game then go for it I guess. It just feels super unnecessary in this very specific case.
Which is weird because FFVII Remake has the dubbing corrected for both Japanese and English. Haven't tried French VO yet.
Go back and watch some old Kurosawa movies (or any chanbara films tbh) and get back to me. There's no way they would work with English dubbing.
Should be known, Square is one of it not the only studios in the industry that hand animates for two different languages. Because they know that IPs like FF and KH appeal to a worldwide audience. The only other studio I can think of that does this is CDPR. And only for Polish and English.
This is a game where the dubbing part is Japanese. All of the audio and pcap was recorded in English.
And you'd think that Sony, a Japanese company, would do the same for this game, given that it will undoubtedly have appeal within Japan and outside of it. Yes, I know Sucker Punch is an American developer, but I can't see why they couldn't do that. Honestly It'd have made more sense to do a native Japanese VO and then dub it into English, or skip the English dub entirely.
Yes, I know this game was probably mocapped which makes it difficult to change the lip movements, but I can't see why they couldn't mocap the Japanese VO actors and paste over it.
