Besides the fact that it would be more immersive, I can't explain to you how big of a deal it is to have a video game dubbed completely in Sicilian for the first time.

The Sicilian language is in decline, especially among the youth, and has been heavily discriminated against (along with many of the languages of Southern Italy). I have been told Sicilian is "dirty Italian" to my face before. My younger cousins in Sicily used to laugh at me for speaking in Sicilian and not Italian (They have since thankfully changed their view). This is due to 1. Sicilian no longer being taught in schools, and 2. people not wanting to speak it out of fear of being seen as “unintelligent", as speaking the "dialects" is seen to be synonymous with poverty and a lack of education.

The Sicilian language is beautiful, and there are active attempts being made to keep it alive and reintroduce it into schools. It is not "just a dialect," it is our language, a language that is almost a fingerprint of our history, as it is heavily influenced by the various peoples who settled on the island, including Latin, Ancient Greek, Arabic, Norman-French, and Spanish, coming together to create the unique poetic beauty that it is.

While I am not a fan of media that puts the mafia in a positive light, I will be playing this game and I am so excited and full of joy to be able to play a game set in Sicily and in the language, I'm positive I am going to be smiling from ear to ear and crying my eyes out.
