I'm excited about this game...I read about it in a magazine some time ago and I was jumping with joy. Hopefully it won't turn out crappy.

Eh, I'm usually not one to be picky on voice actors but given the games content and the voice actors chosen I'm pretty suspect on this whole thing. The only person who I could see perhaps fitting with anything is Mark Hamill since he has a career in voice acting, he could probably do something with his voice to fit with the character. Since after all you'd never expect Mark to be the voice of Joker in the Batman animated series when you hear him, so he COULD pull it off. Everybody else though I'm not buying, I like Michael Madsen and could have a career in videogame voice acting since his voice itself is gruff, but I'm not buying him as a Yakuza boss. Everyone else doesn’t impress me either so I'm iffy on the voice acting here. But hopefully it doesn't turn out too bad since like I said I'm generally not picky on voice acting I just hope everyone chosen here can at least decently do his or her role. Getting veteran video game voice actors would of been the better way to go with the acting though IMO.
But other then that I think the game looks awesome, I can't wait to try it out.

I decided to dig up some info on the game and here are some things I found out:
1) The game is originally called "Ryu ga Gotoku" (Way of the Dragon) and was released around December of 2005. So yes, anyone can play the game right now if they understand an ounce of Japanese. 2) The game has sold a lot of copies in Japan and has won a Gold award for some kind of category (I think for innovation). 3) Because of its popularity, a prologue live-action mini-movie was created and released in March. The director, I think, is Takashi, Miike whose films include "Dead or Alive", "Ichi the Killer", "The Happiness of the Katakuris", "MPD Psycho TV series", and more. Here is the JP site about the movie. So, here is the very awesome official JP site (Note: Click on the LEFT button to show you are over the age of 18. If you click right, it'll take you to Sega's JP homepage). I like the navigation, which points you around yakuza tatoos. You can view movies, character profiles, voice actor profiles (they range from doing anime VO like "Bleach" and "Wolf's Rain" to movies to TV shows), downloads, and more. To view the movies/trailers, navigate to the bottom-right until you see the Turtle/Tortoise, then click on the Japanese characters (Movie). If the scrolling navigation sickens you, just click on the square button at the top screen (zentaizuu) next to the "11" to get a flat layout. I saw the trailer and it looks pretty great and the voices are terrific. It just feels more "real" to me. I love the lighting, the details (such as the schoolgirl sitting with her cellphone), the music, and the accuracy of the real districts in Japan (don't know which one they modeled it after, unfortunately ). Too bad the trailer revealed a little spoiler in the story Spoiler: show

That prolouge sounds interesting. Takashi Miike, had a cameo in that movie Hostle. The director of that film (Eli Roth, i think it was) was inspired by Miike. Thanks for the link to the official site as well as the navigation instructions.
I hope sega releases that special edition, or make it a limited collectors edition.

some good news from Toshihiro Nagoshi. I think he may have hinted about special edition version of Yakuza.

Head on over and check out the interview for more info... Quote:

I'm excited about the demo for the Aug. issue of OPM. I guess there is a good reason to subscribe. I wonder if it'll include the US voices or the original JP? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Thanks for the interview link...it was interesting to read Nagoshi's thoughts on the game. As for the trailer, I can't seem to see it. I went to the main page and typed in "Yakuza" and the only media available was a trailer with the JP voices. Did they remove it maybe? (Maybe because it was just too much of a disgrace )

wow, they removed the trailer.
I wonder what happened, edit: it was a placeholder according to Sega, but it's very suspicious because i clearly heard micheal madsen in it. It was pretty bad, I honestly hope it was a place holder.

the demo has shipped out and is currently being recieved by subscribers of OPM. Details: It's a timed demo, and it's subbed (why must sega tease me! *shakes fist at sky*)
That english dubbed trailer hasn't resurfaced either..but it was awful.
