A better understanding of Japanese culture among players means adaptations can be more subtle - the Yakuza series is now called Like a Dragon, closer to the original Japanese. LGBTQ caricatures and sexist cliches have also been axed. "Many representations which were normal in Japan in the first Like a Dragon games are no longer acceptable today," says Masayoshi Yokoyama, the series' executive producer. "We ask our teams in the United States and Europe to read the game's script, and they tell us if they see things that wouldn't be acceptable in their country." Changes often focus on "alcohol, politics or religion," Froget adds, while cultural reference points also differ. "When there are people dressed in black boots and big leather coats, in Europe that could bring to mind a Nazi uniform," he says.

That Ⓒ It seems that some of the story has been misrepresented, but localization does not change the original (Japanese) content. I have them check to make sure there are no unintentional derogatory terms, discriminatory expressions, religious issues, etc., and then correct them with the original script. In other words, there is no difference between the Japanese version and the overseas version. 8:15 AM Jan 31, 2024760.3K Views 204 ... tv 1.5K 3.5K □ 510 ↑
