History Trivia / FistOfTheNorthStarLostParadise

** Patrick Seitz plays a light-haired, muscle-bound, villainous warrior with the same powers as the main character. Are we talking about Raoh?, or [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]?

** Also, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa and Kazuhiro Yamaji previously worked together in the Japanese dub of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' as Nick Wilde and Mr. Big respectively.

** Creator/SarahWilliams is usually known for voicing [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers, [[JerkAss Jerk Asses]], or CuteButPsycho girls, and most of the time, those characters tend to [[ChewingTheScenery devour the scenery]]. Here, she voices Yuria, a soft-spoken NiceGirl.

* PlayingAgainstType: So, Creator/RobbieDaymond made a reputation of voicing soft pretty boys (even if [[VideoGame/{{Persona 5}} one of them]] turned psychotic). So you might be surprised that all of those manly/Steroid-ish voices of Kenshiro here [[https://twitter.com/robbiedaymond/status/1047275698740649986 came straight from his throat.]]

* ApprovalOfGod: Kenshiro's original English voice actor Creator/KaijiTang, who voiced him in ''Ken's Rage'', [[https://twitter.com/KaijiTang/status/1047262047321247744 tweeted to Robbie Daymond]] the day the game launched, expressing his approval.

* NoDubForYou: Subverted twice over. This will be the second ''Fist of the North Star'' game, after the first ''Ken's Rage'', to have English and Japanese dual audio. This is also the second game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to get an English dub, the first being the [=PS2=] version of the first ''Yakuza'' game.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: One treasure players can find in the wasteland is a music tape containing "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IZ1z6CBdEk Whole New World]]", the theme song for ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'', a game which was originally announced for a western release in 2013, but has long since been relegated to {{Vaporware}}.

* CastingGag:
** Most of the main characters share voice actors in such a way that it mirrors the roles those voice actors play in ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}''.
*** Creator/TakayaKuroda (Kiryu) plays Kenshiro, the stoic hero.
*** Kazuhiro Nakaya (Nishiki) plays Shin, Kenshiro's former best friend who is driven against him due to a LoveTriangle.
*** Hidenari Ugaki (Majima) plays Jagi, a crazy CombatPragmatist who is obsessed with fighting Kenshro.
*** Creator/MasamiIwasaki (Ryuji) plays Raoh, Kenshiro's archnemesis who defied the orders of his patriarch in order to become a conqueror.
*** Shunsuke Sakuya (Kashiwagi) plays Toki, an older figure with a relationship to Kenshiro and a more non-combative role despite his former prowess.
*** Kazuhiro Yamaji (Date) plays Rihaku, another older figure with a less personal, yet still cordial, relationship to Kenshiro who is entirely non-combative.
*** Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (Tatsuo Shinada) plays Rei, an ally of Kenshiro who, though formerly very unscrupulous, pragmatic, and somewhat loathsome, went through CharacterDevelopment to become a more fully realized man.
*** Creator/AyaHisakawa (Yoshino Tayū from ''Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan!'' and Kaoru Sayama in ''Kiwami 2'') plays Yuria, Kenshiro's love interest.
*** Creator/RieKugimiya (Haruka Sawamura) plays Rin, a young girl who idolizes the protagonist.
*** Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (Makoto Makimura) plays Xsana, a beautiful young woman who plays a big role in the story.
*** Naomi Kusumi (Shimano) plays Uighur, an old man who also happens to be a violent brute.
*** Creator/KentaMiyake (Yuya) plays Jagre, a character who is initially distrustful of Kenshiro before becoming a staunch ally.
** Quite a few actors from ''VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarKensRage'' appear in this game, albeit in different roles:
*** Shunzo Miyasaka (Zeed and Tao) provides the voice for Bat.
*** Yasuhiko Kawazu (Spade and Bolge), Hiromu Miyazaki (Fudo, Shuren and Young Raoh) and Sota Arai (Alf and Buzz Harn) provide additional voices.

*** Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (Makoto Makimura) plays Kisara, a beautiful young woman who plays a big role in the story.

*** Creator/KentaMiyake (Yuya) plays Jagure, a character who is initially distrustful of Kenshiro before becoming a staunch ally.

* NoDubForYou: Subverted. This will be the second ''Fist of the North Star'' game since the first ''Ken's Rage'' to have an English and Japanese dual audio.

[[WMG: Eden will have [[WeWillSpendCreditsInTheFuture its own currency.]]]]
Obviously all real world money like dollars became worthless after the world ended, so Eden's got to have its own money that people use to pay for things.
* Possibly confirmed: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TrSDnGA3Fc this trailer]] shows that there is some sort of currency in use for this game. This also wouldn't be completely unprecidented; the two Famicom [=RPGs=] of ''Fist of the North Star'' also used currency systems.

[[WMG: Kenshiro will have to deal with loan sharks and debt collectors while in Eden.]]
This is technically a ''Yakuza'' game, so we could expect a few re-treaded steps here and there.

[[WMG: Shin will turn out to be NotQuiteDead.]]
He has official concept art for the game despite the game supposedly taking place after his death. He will probably reveal his survival in Eden.
** The trailers also showed Rei, Toki, Raoh, Jagi, and Souther. It's possible that their fights will be in playable flashbacks.

[[WMG: Bat and Rin won't appear.]]
HideYourChildren will be in full effect here.
** I don't know there's clearly a kid in this [[https://youtu.be/5TrSDnGA3Fc?t=3m43s trailer.]] So maybe they just won't be here for other reasons?
** Jossed: While if you don't pay attention it might be quite easy to miss them, they are both clearly in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFvOwyIzGN8 trailer]].

[[WMG: Kenshiro will be able to sing karaoke in one of Eden's many clubs.]]
Because it's made by the ''Yakuza'' team, so why not?
* For extra cool points, let Kenshiro sing "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s8lcJfGPMU Ai wo Torimodose]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bFcqGqZsF0 Silent Survivor]]", and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nxrcDmuzqE Tough Boy]]".

[[WMG: The retro arcade games from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza 0}}'' will be playable in this game.]]
The extended [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TrSDnGA3Fc TGS trailer]] shows Kenshiro stumbling upon an old ''[=OutRun=]'' arcade machine. It may be playable, along with ''Space Harrier''.
** Mostly confirmed. ''VideoGame/FantasyZone'' is replaced by the Master System version of ''Fist of the North Star'' but everything else is accounted for. If you can find the machines in the wastelands and bring them to Eden, you can play them.

[[WMG: [[spoiler: There will be a SuddenDownerEnding.]]]]
[[spoiler: Someone will press the Self-Destruct button in Eden, killing everyone except the Main Characters from the main series for obvious reasons. Just like in the ending of Kenshiro Den.]]

[[WMG: The events of the manga will play out in Eden.]]
Shin, Raoh, Jagi, Souther, and other characters are shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l33xx_-WQ5M this trailer]] indicate that they will play important roles in the game's story. Chances are, the events of the manga's first half, from Kenshiro's final fight with Shin to the climactic battle with Raoh, will play out with Eden as the backdrop.
