Finished the dub run last night. Honestly, Yong isn't bad. Sounds a bit like David Hayter or Kevin Conroy (RIP), but I can work with that. He pulled off the "reward" scene quite well. While Yong wouldn't have been my first choice, and I felt Darryl should have been given a redemption game, I think things will be fine. I'm not going to compare him to Kuroda as there's no comparison. Kuroda is Kiryu. Doing that will color opinions in a bad light (as we've seen from the community). Really though, I don't think newcomers will care. Now Tim Friedlander's Daigo? That's a mess. I get that Roger Craig Smith was busy, but that was the best you could do?
The dub for Like a Dragon bringing back Darryl always seemed like a nice gesture toward longtime fans as opposed to anything else, hearing the voice that brought you into this series come back for (what we assumed) one last job before handing over the reins to Ichiban/Kaiji. No one could've known Kiryu would be sticking around, albeit perhaps not much longer. Honestly Yong Yea sounds fine, Kuroda's a hard person to voice match but I think he manages to bring enough bass while keeping the stoic nature.
This sounds like Copium. Yong can voice other characters very well but he chose to take on the role of Kiryu knowing full well it wouldn’t sound right. Kiryu needs a much deeper voice, yong just sounds like a prepubescent boy with a voice changer in game chat.
Yong actually did the scene alright, but...that was easily the best scene Kuroda had did ever. I legit think he was actually sobbing like that in the studio lol
@@zachataxxii7126 Considering how much he loves Kiryu, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was some real emotion in his voice over. Just another reason to enjoy Kuroda-san.
I think a possible reason for not having Darryl back could be that he's not a well known VA. In comparison to Troy Baker, Nolan North, or Yuri Lowenthal so not as famous as them. I will admit if they did get him back he could've been already famous & gained attention from fans. And that Kiryu would've been his iconic role like how recently Yuri Lowenthal is now known famously as Spider-Man and not just Sasuke from Naruto.
most of the characters in the gaiden dub arent well known, nishitani's va has never had a voice role in a video game or a major role in anything before him
Yong has so many misses than hits. Jake Eberle (Hanawa) could probably pull off a better Kiryu.. I heard through the grapevine he was the initial choice. Too bad for the parts Yong just sounds like his TH-camr self. Greg Chun voices Yagami and Nanba yet they both feel like 2 different people. That's talent! Sad how MID VAs like Yong are now praised for a tolerable performance. Kuroda-san poured heart and soul into Kiryu, especially in Gaiden. Yong doesn't come close. But I guess lack of effort is now passable in 2023.
Welcome to the internet. People cry like babies and then a few weeks or months later become complacent. I have no idea why some people aren’t pointing out that Yong chose to take the role of Kiryu and poured hours into his VA thinking it would turn out well. He must be fucking delusional hearing himself and thinking he’s a great interpretation of Kiryu. It’s sad too because there are so many great voice actors willing to play Kiryu but they chose possibly one of the worst.
@GearMasters988 Yong clearly has napoleonic syndrome. He thanks he is truly fit to play Kiryu. Things would've been tolerable if he was modest about it, but announcing himself as the English Voice of Kiryu, when Kuroda-san doesn't even say he is the OG voice of Kiryu is truly a soyboy move. I used to sub to him but after this Kiryu incident. I lost all respect. Also funny how he called out JP Yakuza 7 for the paid NG+ while it's been made official in Infinite Wealth and yet he is quiet about it. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Don't worry man, I also always fuck up at Shin Ichizu Samurai, it's pretty hard to concentrate when the video starts, lmao. About the dub. Seriously? I think it's blown way out of proportion. The songs were actually good. The only gripe I have about Yongs voice work is that it seems like he often tacks a "sigh" at the end of sentences and sometimes puts in a little Hayter in it (I get it, I also am a MGS fan) and it starts to sound off. But other than that it's a solid dub, I like it. Yong, you're pretty good 👆👉 Lets hope the songs they did record for Infinite Wealth are place holders. They really were not as good as the Gaiden ones. Thanks for playing Leon!
Yong's Kiryu is ablolute trash. Not is fault though, not many people in their 30s could voice a 50+ years old man. To me alone, that ruins the whole english dub. Damn Sega
He isn’t even 30. He’s half the age of Kiryu in Gaiden, and he’s gonna be less than half the age of Kiryu in Y8. Better yet, Darryl and Kuroda are the same age, both 3 years older than Kiryu
I've been playing games for many many years now but I can't recall another occasion when I was so pissed about a VA. This is surely one of my personal biggest disappointment in my gaming career. Hope this backlashes heavily on Sega and RGG studio somehow, I'm sure they're also well aware the YY doesn't fit Kiryu at all but for whatever reasons they chose him regardless and that just isn't right@@BigBoss_893
i just removed the stream_en and stream_zh to clear unused constent like english and chinies dub (infinite wealth will have communist dub) that space could be used for an indie game or a bunch of mods, wich is better space mennagement then putting random people in place of iconic voice actors.
Yeah I think I’ll be playing the sub. Kiryu’s VA in the dub is absolutely intolerable. Without a doubt one of the worst miscasts I’ve ever seen and heard.
Bro akame is so fucking annoying in this lmao. Rgg really taking this shit too far, imagine recasting people cause they arent the ethnicity of their role despite being the best voice
7:16:58 would be a very suitable Kiryu voice right here
2:45:18
"I ain't out yet" 💀

6:39:51 no balls?
6:47:25 AAAAAAAAAAA
6:48:36 CRITICAL
6:53:30 Again?
He has a great voice, solid VA for sure, but his voice is too fresh and clean for a 50+ year old smoker with more package than than a road train.
19:55 I like that they dubbed the Y6 Flashback

I'd imagine Kiryu voice to be much deeper
They changed Daigo’s VA :(
Roger Craig Smith was probably busy with Sonic and other roles so that's probably why he didn't return here.
@@satyamSahaRe5 remake (hopium?)
@@manfredstorm7599 they’re planning on making it but I doubt it’s in development right now
Man I just heard Darryl voice as Kiryu in like a Dragon. I prefer his voice over YongYea, idk why they didn’t bring him back smh
I bet saejima liked the balls talk at the end
Yong's ability as a VA aside, he was objectively miscast here.
Couldn’t agree more. Dude sounds like shit trying to be Kiryu.
I feel like yong yea would’ve fitter more for daigo instead of kiryu

Yong Yea sounds horrible, stop sugarcoating that crap.
Yea isn't a bad voice actor, he's just miscast.
The rest of the cast sound great though.
This sounds like Copium. Yong can voice other characters very well but he chose to take on the role of Kiryu knowing full well it wouldn’t sound right. Kiryu needs a much deeper voice, yong just sounds like a prepubescent boy with a voice changer in game chat.
I called it! Haruka is played by Xanthe Huynh!
This is great I want more English dubs like this I don’t know why everybody’s so mean mad about it
No NG+ 😥
Kuroda killed the scene, but I actually think Yong did okay here. It gives me a bit more hope for the IW dub
This dub was recorded after IW. So new VWs like Yong are less practiced in that one.
Yong actually did the scene alright, but...that was easily the best scene Kuroda had did ever. I legit think he was actually sobbing like that in the studio lol
@@zachataxxii7126 Considering how much he loves Kiryu, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was some real emotion in his voice over. Just another reason to enjoy Kuroda-san.
I know I’m gonna love this

They replaced him with a lesser known actor.
@@amiiinafedora2318 And, I just played the dub so I can confirm this: Yes, Darryl did voice Fake Kiryu in that cutscene
most of the characters in the gaiden dub arent well known, nishitani's va has never had a voice role in a video game or a major role in anything before him
2:45:18 I AIN’t OUT YET 😡 *dies* 😵
"I AIN'T HEAR NO DAMN BELL"
I think yong did a good job, definitely people blowing it way out of proportion, but i was thinking it was gonna be bad but i was surprised
Yong Yea should have voiced Daigo
5:29:35 New stream idea Leon?
2:51:07
Oh wow
Welp this is a perfect reason to replay gaiden for the third time
Yong has so many misses than hits. Jake Eberle (Hanawa) could probably pull off a better Kiryu..

Rgg givin us that liquid ass frrr 🥶🥶, a shitty dub and NG+ either nonexistent or behind a package. The bois are eating good tonight
Just play with the Japanese audio…
If you don't like it just ignore it and play Japanese only no need to complain
Bro really skipped Fake Kiryu’s beautiful performance
1:59:20 I was ok with listening to your takes on Kiryu’s VA but this is just too far
I am not a big fan of shishido english voice
It's bad 😂
Okay I ggguueeesssss I’ll play Gaiden for a third time

honestly wasn’t that bad. I’ve gotten somewhat used to it after replaying the story again. Definitely not better than the Japanese VA but it’s okay
Fuck no clue english was a choice
