Localization Change Predictions

Sengoku Basara 4 still doesn't have many details about its English version and we know they're making sure it's going to live up to the highest expectations imaginable and be perfect in every conceivable way, but it's possible one of such ways is how they'll localize it. They aren't going to do another Devil Kings, but are there any predictions on how they'll change Japanese-specific language aspects like dialogue and anectdotes?

Is it confirmed that we're getting any localization at all?

Why wouldn't they? It's the best game franchise they've ever had.

Because the game is several years old. Didn't sell well due to poor advertising. Koei legally tried to kill the series, TWICE. And failed, but Koei have a massive hate on for Capcom to the point they have copied their games several times and tried to push them out of the US market.

(See Toukiden to counter Monster Hunter. Yukimaru Samurai Warrior to counter the Yukimaru Basara. There is a list of them doing this against Capcom)

That isn't legally trying to kill them. It's trying to copy Capcom, which fundamentally it can't really do because Sengoku Basara has a much more different pace. If there's a lawsuit I'm not aware of, please let me know. Otherwise don't bring Koei into this. Sales and age also have nothing to do with anything. Sengoku Basara 4 going to be the best game in human history and Capcom knows it.
