@@Cherryponut Yup. The people watching wrestling today is like 1/4 22% of the amount of people that used to watch wrestling from back in the day. Wrestling is dying.
You know, something that I noticed here is that Majima seems genuinely happy to not knowing who he actually is before his amnesia. He’s just satisfied with having a fun time as a pirate captain and not having to worry about his previous life as a Yakuza, a life that bought him so much pain and misery. I’d dare say that he hasn’t felt this happy since his days as Sunshine’s manager. It’s sad to know that when he gets his memories back, he knows he’ll have to leave his crew and go back to a life that left him miserable for most of his life.
@@ShadowThe771 Why would Majima HAVE to leave the crew? Who knows what this story will entail but I genuinely doubt after the 8 finale of one last Millennium Tower raid, that any of the Jima trio would go back to the self loathing snowy despair lair or anything resembling it It would defeat the whole point of Kiryu (and his party too I guess lol) knocking the defeatist depression out of em and reinvigorating their fighting spirit
Dub's available at launch and it appears to have full lip sync, too. It always bugged me that only 7 and 8 got full lip sync and the rest of the games didn't, so having it is really appreciated. Hopefully, they keep this up for every game moving forward.
I think it's always been a scheduling and demand issue. With the Judgement games, they were on the back of the mind since the last English dub they did was...Yakuza 1. With Like A Dragon, they had George freaking Takei in the cast, so that was a given. Plus, it was the mainline series so consistency mattered. We already know about the whole thing with Gaiden. So now, my guess is RGG is more confident in putting in the work for the dubbing.
Hopefully whoever was the VA director for 8 is working whatever that new game by the dangaronpa dev team instead😂 Also pray for matt he has to record all the karaoke songs
You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at Majima and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another gangster, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But Majima's a genetic freak and he's not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat Majima. Then you add Saejima to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way, at Madlantis, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but Majima, he's got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Saejima KNOWS he can't beat Majima and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus Majima's 25 per chance chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Madlantis. But then you take Majima's 75% chance of winning, if you was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, Majima got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Madlantis. Joe-san, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Madlantis.
YES! I've been waiting for an English Dub trailer. This trailer got me excited for the game and can't wait to experience this story, especially with the English VA with the GOAT Matt Mercer as crazy Majima. ^_^
I hear that The Ocean hunter game that's never been ported will be available to play on the game. Count yourselves lucky! It's a great game made back in 98.
Already on My list of games to look out for going into next year double points for getting a English dub for one of these games looking forward to it ❤❤
It's great seeing that RGG is investing in dubbed parts of their series from hereon (at least, I hope). As someone with a mental disability I struggle to concentrate, as well as a slower reading pace because of it. I gave up a quarter into Y0 because of the lengthy sentences in cutscenes you couldn't really pause without breaking the suspense. When Judgment came I was thrilled, and every game beyond has been a blessing to be able to listen and read these captions at the same time to understand what is going on story wise. Thank you RGG!
Glad to see Samoa Joe voicing himself instead of getting an actor from the usual dub pool to do a soundalike. That being said, I would have loved to hear Samoa Joe's own voice in the Japanese version even if it was still in English. I had that same thought with Danny Trejo in Infinite Wealth.
If Samoa Joe Ever Retires From Wrestling He Should Definitely Go Into Voice Acting,He Was Great As King Shark In Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League.
Samoa Joe being involved with two of my favorite franchises in Twisted Metal AND Yakuza makes him one of my favorite wrestler/actors. Reminds me of Rowdy Roddy Piper in Saints Row IV.
Great to hear Matt Mercer as Majima again. If there are Tolkien fans here, Mercer also voiced the Witch-King of Angmar in Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Let that sink in. The leader of the Nazgûl happens to be in Yakuza.
@@rickythemaddragonxiong8757 description of this video lists the cast too So weird and disappointing, was looking forward to hearing his dub of the inevitable boss battle in NG+ (unless there’s none again smh)
Majima is gonna tell Samoa Joe that the numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for you AT SACRIFICE!
No one is going to understand this reference. But Poppa Pump always comes through
But what if you add Ichiban to the mix???
There is a 33 1/3 chance of that happening
@@Cherryponut Yup. The people watching wrestling today is like 1/4 22% of the amount of people that used to watch wrestling from back in the day. Wrestling is dying.

A redemption arc perhaps? 👀
@@DeanRGG Agreed. No more depression shack for our favourite boy pls
Tbh, he doesn't have to leave his crew. For all we know, he'll just take the ship to Japan
Gamers: "We want a cool pirate game"
Ubisoft: "Best we can do is Skull and bones"
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio: "Hold my sake."
It still baffles me how badly Ubisoft handled the concept of "Black Flag but without the Assassin's Creed".
How hard is Skyrim but boats?
You mean hold my DOSU
hold my rum sound better
Can we just give Ubisoft the quadruple L now?🤷🏽♂️
I can’t believe Samoa Joe is in this game
Dude same.
To Be fair this series has a history of including pro wrestlers before I'm personally hope we'll see the muscle buster
Samoa the best Joe
Hopefully we get other AEW talent in the side content like kenny omega (who is a huge gamer)
Yeah, I hope Samoa return AEW soon in 2025...
*1:28*
*Samoa Joe*
Yeah I'm glad he's also voicing
Yep, that sounded like him!
King Shark
Joe Joe Joe Joe
Yeah!!!
Now this is the real AAAA pirate game everyone wants and deserves
Take that Poopyslop
I didn't know I wanted this, but they had me at Captain Majima.
not better than black flag
Pass out your quadruple Ls to the another game studio who made up that statement and never delivered!!!
I love, LOVE how this series is never afraid to go as absolutely batshit insane as it wants to.
Never change, Like A Dragon, never change.
Or rather... Keep changing 😁
But when are we going to see a re-release of Dead Souls?
It's Good to see Samoa Joe Dubbed himself in this Game.
The ship combat looks so good, it's wild that RGG essentially remastered Black Flag before Ubisoft
He nailed the Majima laugh
About time he finally did, took him like 4 years
literally the only thing he nailed. 100% playing this in Japanese.

8 didnt get full lip sync
@cyber_stealth Yes, it did. Chinese dub didn't, but English definitely did.
@@darknightspider7495Only 7 and Judge Eyes had one
Nah hope they remove dub only sub
You have no idea how much I need to hear Matt Mercer singing Get to the Top
and 24 hour cinderella...it'll be glorious
Heres hoping they heard the feedback on not putting a crap ton of autotune for the english dub songs.
@@drew2031 thankfully matt mercer can actually sing. So here's hoping they don't ruin his voice
@@valekstormhowl4999 yeah but even then they auto tuned alot of the songs that had good singers in infinite wealth. I'm just worried.

I read it at Scott Steiner's voice 😂
Joe-san instead of Señor Joe. Nice
Ain't no way I thought I would encounter a Steiner's math in the comment and here I am
Samoa Joe: King of Television AND Pirates
The dub almost seems like the canon language for this game - Majima got amnesia and now speaks fluent English
Like a Dragon Pirate: The Man who forgot his name
Cannot wait to hear Matt sing!!
we WILL be listening
24 Hour Cinderella is confirmed...
He has that cackle down.
Samoa Joe in the game too!? LFG 💯🔥
I THOUGHT THIS ENGLISH DUB WAS GONNA BE DELAYED THIS IS HUGEEE. ALSO PLEASE RGG, NO AUTOTUNE FOR THE ENGLISH KARAOKE SONGS!!!!
As did I. I’m glad it’ll be in on launch day.
You honestly can't go wrong with a game led by Matthew Mercer, pretty exciting
Samoa Joe in a pirate game? You learn something new every day.
Would have never guessed that Leon S. Kennedy ends up on an island.
Vincent Valentine
Ganondorf
Mercer was absolutely a fantastic choice to play Majima. Also stoked to see Samoa Joe in more things, I always thought he'd be a great voice actor.
Cannot wait. My most anticipated game for next year.
Holy SHIDA! I'm super impressed at the English dubbed version of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii!
Matt Mercer also plays Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 6
Leon has a pirate costume in RE6
Majima has a pirate costume in Dead Souls
🤔
Matt Mercer also plays Kuroiwa in Judgment
Vincent Valentine
You can pick out Samoa Joe's potato head from anywhere.
YES! I've been waiting for an English Dub trailer. This trailer got me excited for the game and can't wait to experience this story, especially with the English VA with the GOAT Matt Mercer as crazy Majima. ^_^
I gotta admit RGG cooked with the dub for this
I like how sing songy Matt made Majima sound, its kind of appropriate with how theatrical he tends to be.
I hear that The Ocean hunter game that's never been ported will be available to play on the game. Count yourselves lucky! It's a great game made back in 98.
This is a pretty good dub. All aboard regardless of audio preference, mateys!
Hello Matt Mercer. You're always fun to listen to.
YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE DA BOAT?! YUSSS
0:20 is that clementine?!
What's a clementine?
@@gamevids7814 from twd telltale
No, it says Noah is voiced by Maya Aoki Tuttle. Clementine is voiced by Melissa Hutchison. I can hear the resemblance though
@@Wariosmustache are we talking about the walking Dead clementine?
@@gamevids7814 I assumed, I don’t know many characters with that name
Thanks 🙂. Nicely done ✔️. Keep up the good 👍work 👏. Also I am glad Matthew Mercer is playing Goro Majima again and Samoa Joe sounds great.
Matt Mercer? JOJOOOOO
Already on My list of games to look out for going into next year double points for getting a English dub for one of these games looking forward to it ❤❤
Looking forward to playing this
matt mercer does an amazing job as majima

Starring Matt "I only agreed to voice Majima cuz he had a small role in 7" Mercer.
The makers of this game are really crazy.
Goro Majima is Espio The Chameleon, and Queen Michele is Daisy Duck!
1:35 is the same dynamic intro animation from the Lao Gui fight in 0, except this time Majima does the flip
Since Ron Yuan is no longer voicing Saejima, I'd love it he was got rehired to voice Kiryu. Doubt itll happen though.
I'm Surprised That WWE Wrestler Samoa Joe Would Be in a Yakuza Game 😀
You mean AEW TNT Champion and ROH World TV Champion and AEW World Champion, THE KING OF TELEVISION, Samoa Joe is on a Yakuza Game.
Good to know that the Dub will be there day 1. And that cements my preorder.
Shiver Me Timbers
Looks and sounds great I will eventually play this once I get through the series 🙂
Ooooh boy ... this is gonna be EPIC
I was NOT expecting to see Samoa Joe in this. That's REALLY cool!
🗣 JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE!!
Just finished Like a Dragon infinite wealth. really amazing game! i look forward to this one!
I'd like to send my thanks for this to Mattjima especially. Also, 0:29.
It took me forever to jump aboard this series but after the last few bangers consider me a fan!
Gamers: "We want a cool pirate game"
Ubisoft: "Best we can do is Skull and bones"
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio: "Fuck it, Black Flag 2 with Majima!"
Glad to see Samoa Joe voicing himself instead of getting an actor from the usual dub pool to do a soundalike.
That being said, I would have loved to hear Samoa Joe's own voice in the Japanese version even if it was still in English. I had that same thought with Danny Trejo in Infinite Wealth.
FINALLY!
Can't wait. I'll get it in March - April since the Eng dub won't be released until then.
I'm pretty sure it's gonna be released on launch day now since they have the trailer out this early. I could be wrong though.
Matt Mercer my beloved 💝
Insane range!
If Samoa Joe Ever Retires From Wrestling He Should Definitely Go Into Voice Acting,He Was Great As King Shark In Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League.
Can't wait to hear Matt singing (wish there's no autotune too)
SEGA & Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio = NO.1 😎❤️👍
You can came back after you get Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Then now Pirate Yakuza is coming for you
That's Joe JOE JOE
Samoa Joe being involved with two of my favorite franchises in Twisted Metal AND Yakuza makes him one of my favorite wrestler/actors.
Reminds me of Rowdy Roddy Piper in Saints Row IV.
As an AC Black Flag player, I'm crying in happiness.
I'll say it again- Sega is giving us the game that Ubisoft couldn't.
RGG really saw Ubischlock SkullaBoners and said ‘fine i’ll do it my GOTdamn self’
1:29 Samoa Joe, In that video game?!🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯🤯 I'm getting that game. And also Dave Batista.
RGG filling the void Black Flag left since Ubisoft can't handle it
To all the prospective players, at some point
"Joe's Gonna Kill You!"
Great to hear Matt Mercer as Majima again. If there are Tolkien fans here, Mercer also voiced the Witch-King of Angmar in Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Let that sink in. The leader of the Nazgûl happens to be in Yakuza.
Man, this makes me want for a Yakuza 0 English dub just for the Matt Mercer version of Lord of the Night Majima.
Majima about to jump on Samoa Joe's boat only for joe to immediately turn the boat the other side
SAMOA JOEEEEEE!¡!!!!
Joe who!?
As a wrestling fan it's cool to see Samoa Joe in multiple video games & doing work outside of wrestling
Hopefully, they should do Pirate Of The Carribean game in this engine.
Man I'm even more tempted to play this in English Dub since Joey Samoey is in the game
Leon wakes up as a pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
1:28 Samoa Joe from WWE 😂💯
He's currently in AEW.
@ and in Like a Dragon

This game looks so cool, i will finish up on like a dragon yakuza so that I'm ready for this game. May Jesus Christ be with you.
I freaked out for a second because I scrolled on my feed and thought it was new stuff being shown off. 😭 But I’ll take what I can get. 🙏
They're dropping another trailer this afternoon that shows off Rich Island (one of the new locations)

who was he in persona 4? i played it in Japanese lol
@@skinnyyoungjiggy4471, he voiced Kanji Tatsumi.

Now I'm even more hyped for this game!
