It sure its, very bizarre specific things about it that i don't see in any other dub of any other game, mostly it's just bad acting but Shenmue just has some really strange stuff in it, which is also why i love the dub so much, it's so uniquely weird.ShenGCH wrote:Shenmue's voice acting is an enigma, for sure.
This might be unpopular but i kinda wish Shenmue 3 would be like this too for consistency and Nostalgia sake instead of like hiring anime dub actors like most japanese game localizers do nowadays, i know it is an outdated practice and i don't think they are gonna do it for 3 but there's just something bizarrely magical when hiring English speaking people living in Japan and being directed by (what i presume) is Japanese native speakers. Because of this, we got the greatness of lines such as the looking for sailors, the ''Wanna try lucky hit?'' all sorts of "Schoolboy'' lines, Duilin grunts when carrying crates, they very weird way Goro talked ect, its just pure fun and i kinda want Shenmue 3 to kinda spawn a new weird meme. Its almost like a tradition at this point.
