On one hand I think it’s sort of silly and I definitely don’t think devs should have to crunch for stuff like this pre-release. But for me there was a tension between the marketing push of a kind of authenticity in this game (what a big deal they made out of Kurosawa mode)…(2/3)

…and the fact they prioritized English lip-sync over Japanese. Why not make Japanese the default, included-at-launch lipsync? That way for players who choose English VO it has “dubbed movie” energy, whereas “Kurosawa mode” with clearly English lip movement just feels incongruous

It just revealed the whole authenticity angle as a calculated marketing thing and not a creative decision they fully committed to. A reliance on “well, more people play with the English VO” data points rather than a “go for it” attitude toward this aspect of the game.
