The Dragon's Coming

Having made a decision not to play any new games on my Platstation3 until i finished Okami on the Wii, i have been keeping myself busy re-playing Yakuza in anticipation for the US release of Yakuza 2 next month. I don't get a lot of chances to use my Nintendo Wii these days for reasons i rather not indulge here but since my Playstation2 is always around lying idle, it's a good time to warm it up again. Sega has fallen behind quite a bit in localising Yakuza 2 and in an effort to save some time (and money) decided to keep the original Japanese voice-overs instead of hiring Hollywood talents like they did with this first one. It may come as a surprise but i enjoyed the US voice talent for Yakuza quite a bit, apart the the script having a bit too much swearing, most of the voice talent delivered the goods.

Now the real question is will the future Yakuza games retain their original Japanese voiceovers ?
