How will they translate the cool way they talk into English, but still keep it cool?

And this is a very important point. This game will be made entirely different with an english dub, whether it's decent or not. I'm not necessarily above being charmed by a Shenmue dub either, but with that announcement the game loses like 50 million cool points.

Nice website.

There is a demo in the newest OPM. They really rub it in, as all the dialog is in Japanese and there is a boot screen stating how it will be all english when released.

Part of me wonders if the Japanese to English conversion is to tone down the language as nearly every other word is valgarity (which is cool be me when it isn't over used).
