A voice mod, short for voice modification or modding, refers to the alteration of a game's audio files to replace the original voice acting with new recordings or, in this case, the Japanese voice track. This can be achieved through various technical means, including patching the game's audio files or installing a mod that swaps out the voice acting. The Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Japanese Voice Mod specifically replaces the English voice acting with the authentic Japanese voice acting, providing a more immersive experience for players.

And you will finally understand why Kenyu Horiuchi’s quiet fury is arguably the definitive take on Jack the Ripper.
