[Mod request] Ghost of Tsushima - Kurosawa mode with normal audio

[104251]

Maybe it's a niche thing. Would love to play in Kurosawa mode, but the audio bugs me to no end. I get what they're going for here, but I can barely understand like 10% of japanese, and not being able to hear spoken words clearly doesn't help. I saw complaints about this exact thing from 4 years ago, so my conclusion is that it's the way the devs want it to be and they won't change anything. With the release on PC, maybe it's time?

I would like to have this mod as well. Kurosawa mode without audio modification.

 

Another option to consider would be having Kurosawa mode only for cutscenes.

Only for cutscenes? Wouldn't it be too jarring of a switch, especially when you talk to NPCs often (also cutscenes could start out of the blue all by themselves). Don't know, I have mixed feelings, but it's an interesting suggestion nonetheless. This would require a more complex modification, as I understand it (I'm no modder). There are also other elements in Kurosawa mode which are questionable. For example, not being able to tell mission critical things apart (color of flowers - read it somewhere) or non-blockable (red) or blue attacks in combat. That's a whole another layer of complexity.

Actually I find myself constantly switching between japanese kurosawa mode and standard english mode - because the kurosawa mode just feels insanely cool and cinematic especially for cutscenes (and the cutscenes were actually constructed that way) - and the standard mode is better for combat, exploration and being immersed in the world more. Plus easier to follow dialogue and story in english during gameplay rather than reading it. So an autoswitcher for just cutscenes would be perfect and is exactly what I'm looking for to make the game truly perfect.
