![]() ![]() Even with Ishin!, you have all the text and dialogue each character says (hundreds, because, you know, it's an Yakuza game), the hundreds of items, skills, movesets, minigames, side stories, etc. It's hard to create a baseline of time and money, but think about how much content is in the Yakuza games in general. Maybe the first two games, but I'm not sure. The only time it seemed like they made a profit on Yakuza in the US was with 3. Maybe if gamers were more interested in the series, you'd see it over here, but they aren't and no amount of "spending money to make money" would ease that. Releasing shitty Sonic games is a far safer bet than selling Yakuza titles to the ten people that like it. Couple that with the previews they had for 4 and it still didn't work out. Hell, 4 had magazine ads and banners on websites, so it's not like the didn't try. Some titles live without it and do fine, and some would have no justification to their existence. You are expecting a company that's not doing so hot anymore to spend time and resources making advertisements for a series that isn't anything more than "minor cult status" in the other areas of the world.Īds don't magically make the game sell. ![]() 4 tanked, so much so that they only released a comment about the Japanese sales. Yakuza 0 was the very first one to get localized into Chinese, as were the PS4 remasters of 3-5.I don't think you know how a business works.Ģ did alright in the west, and 3 did great enough for them to comment on. Sony published Kenzan in South Korea with a subtitled script book. The theme of RgG Kenzan is prologue to boshin war, story about Shinsengumi and Ishin-sishi, where you play as somewhat historical Sakamoto Ryoma (Somewhat ancestor of Kazuma Kiryu) :D Fun fact: Ishin and Kenzan were literally not even localized into Chinese either. I don't even get why SEGA Europe and America decided to change Judge Eyes to Judgement because it's already in english why bother changing the name again, or is it because of the tag : Shinigami no Yuegon? ![]() Originally posted by LArc7thHeaven:The naming cases is i think somewhat why the rest of historical Japan based Ryu ga Gotoku games were not go to the west because the entire theme of Ryu ga Gotoku is about the characterization of the main character (in here Kiryu Kazuma/Kiryu Kazamanosuke in Kenzan/Sakamoto Ryoma in ishin) that is symbolize by a dragon (Toshiro Nagoshi said he choose the name Ryu ga Gotoku to show the power and manliness of the main character, sorry for any SJW) not about the Yakuza organization or gokudo itself so naming it Yakuza Kenzan or Ishin is somewhat problematic since you're playing a (honorable) samurai not some honorable thug. ![]()
