Sentinel07 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 English always. Hard to really care about the Japanese acting when I can't understand what they say. Besides, I can't stand listening to the majority of girls in Japanese. Most of them sound like 1st-graders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlordsd Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I don't do subtitles. Ever. Seriously, I hate it when things aren't dubbed. I want to actually be watching what's happening on screen, not constantly looking down to try to figure out what people are saying!!! Freedom Wars was the biggest offender of this. It really hurt the game that you couldn't understand what your squadmates were saying because you didn't have time to read the text at the bottom of the screen, and suddenly a giant tiger rips your body in half because you missed the alert. Also, second what Sentinel07 said. Female Japanese voice actresses are nearly universally awful. I still have nightmares about Orihime's voice from Bleach.

TKHikaru13 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'll probably start with English, given it's my mother tongue. After my first playthrough I'll probably mess around with Japanese to see how units sound in their original language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyPearl Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I personally liked the English version better in awakening, so I'll probably end up playing 'if' in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Lavellan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Both. In my Japanese copy I will of course use Japanese, and when I decide to eventually get an English copy I will probably use English Voices exclusively.

chihiroos Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I felt like the japanese voices in awakening had more diversity especially with female robin but I enjoyed playing in both languages. I'll probably switch back and forth between the languages even more so now that I know most of the voice actors now. :V Edited June 9, 2015 by chihiroos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoryWeaverKirea Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I've always been for English dubs and even though the Japanese voices sound good I can't stand the really high pitched moe voices so yeah, I'll stick to the English voices.

Sunwoo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I tend to only use the Japanese voice audio on a whim, if I've played through the game enough and just want to try something different. Nothing against the Japanese audio, I just prefer to listen to something I can actually understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywolfe Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Where's my "both" option?I switched back and forth between Japanese and English for Awakening quite often. It was my first experience with dual audio, so I went a little wild with it. I eventually ended up doing two Japanese-audio only playthroughs, one per female and male, and I was pleasantly surprised by how "new" it made the game. If it is an option in If, I see myself doing this, too... and I really am hoping it's an option again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichikawa Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 I can see that most people will play english because can't understand japanese, prefer to hear the english mother language, and last cause the japanese girls high pitch voices xD~ I can understand most of japanese audio, love the japanese fuking hard languange, and of course i'm fan of Animes and Manga, so usually i'll use japanese audio if i could chose. In my case, i dont like most of the american dubbing, i'll only prefere english over japanese, when english is the original audio option. Of course there are many excelent american voice acting (i love how Disney do their work), but most of them can´t convince me, specially the japanese adaptations .... To sum: english original game i will choose english, japanese original game i'll chose japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vineron Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Probably just going to stick with English since I'm too lazy to switch back and forth, and the english dub for Awakening wasn't as horrible as it could've been. I do enjoy the way the Japanese audio sounds, but not being able to understand it is definitely a major turn off for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotaro Kujo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Daisuke Ono is voicing Suzukaze in the JP version and I have a personal bias for a soft spot for him, so I'm going to be doing at least one run in Japanese so I can hear his voice. I don't mind having to read subtitles watching cutscenes or whatever so it's not going to be any skin off my nose. That said, I'll probably switch to English after my JP run because I can't say I'm a fan of Felicia's Japanese voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmedx3 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If the dub is as good as the one in awakening, in English, but if it's as bad as the one in the Tellius games, then Japanese, but I'll probably do Nohr in English and Hoshido in Japanese although I kinda hate the high pitched Japanese girls voices like Felicia's in the trailer >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 English, no contest. Between Japanese female voices often being too high-pitched for my sensitive ears to handle and my preference for hearing words I understand rather than just reading them on a screen, it's a no brainer.

Great Geargia Gateway Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I watched Anime in Sub. This'll be no different. Did sub in Awakening too. Couldn't handle the voice acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awakener_ Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I will play probably majority of the time in English, with some in Japanese if Felicia only has some lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nihon96 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Me being half Japanese I will definitely use the Japanese voices as I think it sounds way better than the dub imo. I was never a fan of dubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I'll probably flip-flop depending on mood. (English more often though) Edited September 7, 2015 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SniperGYS Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Japanese if possible!Because MAMO gave voice to Leon, Yoshi gave voice to Shigure, Tarusuke to Saisou and Suwabe-san to Joker... But mostly for hear MAMO everytime Leon say something, sounds good for me (plus I like Kisaragi's voice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeptuniasBeard Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I'll be going English. I honestly have nothing against Japanese VAs in general, I'll just take an English dub 99.99% of the time, not only because I understand it more, but because I like how they touch up the script to pander more to my western tastes Except for DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho, those are japanese performances that just find to be truly, truly awful.

gayserbeam Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I've spent dozens upon dozens of hours playing this game listening to everyone talk Japanese. The second I get the English version I'm going with English and never looking back. I can only take so much EETO and IKU YOOO and KAKEGOUWAIIDESUKA per year.

NekoKnight Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 No one noticed the thread necro... lol. I usually view things in their native language in possible but if the dub is good, I'll play it just for rarity of good English dubs. Dual audio should come standard for internationally released games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
