Not sure how many people have gotten to experience this yet but damn is Shenmue: Undub edition one of the best fan mods I’ve ever experienced.
Don’t get me wrong, the American voices are iconic. It’s a lot of what makes Shenmue...well...Shenmue! But objectively you kind of have to admit they are pretty hokey.
the Japanese version though? Some great dialogue and it loses all the cheese factor the US version deals with. Issue though? Well...it’s all in Japanese!
Enter the Undub edition! Full Japanese voice acting throughout the entire game with full English subtitles for the entire experience. Best of both worlds. Well except for you don’t get to hear Ryo ask about sailors in English
but in all honesty if you haven’t played the Undub version yet...do it! Makes the game feel brand new somehow
