I've always wanted to play 1&2 in Japanese. Though I have a nostalgic attachment to the English dub like many others, it's incontrovertibly terrible, particularly with the npcs in sh1. We did see a clear improvement in sh2 imo.
Japanese voice actors are much more emphatic. Funny how watching an anime dubbed is like heresy to me but for some reason I'm forgiving with shenmue. Hopefully the rereleased will offer both languages.
