Seriously, Yakuza 5 is all I need left from this generation, then I can truly move on..Would love for them to release the games again on PS4. Come to think of it, I never finished 4.
And yes, pretty much all they need to add is subs.
I hope people attending the panel bombard him with Yakuza 5 questions.
Hardlight Studio and SEGA bring together some of the talented development team members from various backgrounds who worked on such iconic franchises as Jet Set Radio, SEGA Rally and Typing of the Dead over the years. The discussion will dive deep into their roles, responsibilities and perspectives on recreating Sonic and other legacy brands for the mobile generation and experiences in bringing console franchises to the mobile world. An audience Q&A will follow the panel.
*sigh* Why do I still hope?
With Nagoshi himself saying that there are no plans to start on localization programming so recently I really doubt we're going to get something out of this anyway.
The only chance is that @giocorsi contacted SEGA and they signed out a deal recently, and probably Nagoshi wasn't aware of it. But I can hardly see that happening.
Thanks for all the great suggestions folks! Now lets make some games! #BuildingTheList #PlayStation #PS3 #PS4 #Vita

Sunday, according to SEGA's blog:
Again, if anyone can go and ask about either Yakuza 5/Valkyria Chronicles 3/PSO2, that'd be great.
Brush up on your SEGA trivia knowledge as youll need it for your chance to win one of the most prized, ultra-rare SEGA Saturn games produced by Kikuchi-san, Panzer Dragoon Saga *sealed, never opened*, and a chance to win a signed, new-in-box Dreamcast!
Einhorn expresses his love for the Yakuza series, but cannot speak more on Yakuza 5 beyond that they are listening to the fans.
Assuming the panel has ended...
well sadly not much was said about Yakuza 5 other than
Come on, you've been listening long enough, you got lots of moola from Puyo Puyo Quest, dump that cash into the localization!

You guys, it's time to let this go. The Shenmue fans are going to start laughing at us soon.

I'd setlle for some Puyo Puyo localization even. Today's Sega only seems interested in bringing over Sonic games and almost nothing else.Come on, you've been listening long enough, you got lots of moola from Puyo Puyo Quest, dump that cash into the localization!

Yeah, so they can whisper 'no' in return.
Why won't SEGA put this series on Steam? They would make a few bucks.
An English walk through has been released. It's not ThePatrick, but it'll do!

Oh, interesting. I'll use this if I get stuck playing the Japanese version next year.
In the interest of making noise, occasions of which to do so aren't that high, I'd like to post this:
http://www.segalization.com/
https://www.change.org/petitions/sega-corporation-please-localize-your-games
It's a fan campaign designed to collect petition signatures for Sega to localize a bunch of their Japanese games, like Valkyria Chronicles 3, Yakuza Ishin and Yakuza 5, and Phantasy Star Online 2, to name a few. There are some profile pages that offer a surface level look at various games, some tidbits on localization status, and links to fansites or important interviews. The site plans later on to add new features like a forum and article posting.
It's a small gesture, but sign the petition! Collectively, we might make a difference, and it doesn't take all that much time anyway.

I wish sony would just take over and localise this...
Maybe Sony could localise Ishin since after all they could release it as a PS4 exclusive in the West. But 5 doesn't have any sense or usefulness for them.
