i loved shenmue 2 on dc.its just i thought it would of been better in english,with the same actors as the first game.

oh well i guess they was maybe trying to save money by not translating it.

Sega said that they didn't want to change the voice acting to english because they wanted to keep the game more authentic. However, this was probably just an excuse to save money.

yep,i think so.if that was the case(keep it authentic)why did they convert the first game.the ammount they spent on the game(80 million dollers),they probebly was running short of cash.

		By the way, Hiroshi Fujioka is indeed Segata Sanshiro. A quick search for him on the internet movie database comes up with this....

I think they might've kept Cory Marshall as the voice of Ryo.

Now that is a scary looking man.

If it was to keep it authentic, why use Japanese voices in Hong Kong?

I much prefered the Japanese voices over the English - after hearing a wooden rendidtion of "That day...the day the rain turned to snow..." over and over, who wouldn't?

		Well at least they don't look freakishly old, like Rolf and Nei on the PSII box, or it isn't misleading, like the Sword of Vermillion box, (Where's the freakin' horse?).

did the u.s version of shenmue 2 have english speaking voices or were they japanese?

There was never a US release of Shenmue 2 - it's Japan and Europe only. At least the people stateside can import it.

I think what Sega meant by making it authentic was by the voices being in a different accent to the first, as it would be for Ryo (travelling to Hong Kong from Jap).

It is clearly just to save money though
