Zyriex Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would really enjoy the game getting pseudo-Shakespeare-rized. Hopefully the size of the script won't be too much, especially if they release/translate the DLC after the game is officially out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFireMage Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think this game could really benefit from British voice actors. I found the voice acting in Xenoblade to be far more realistic and emotive than the usual fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eharper256 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think this game could really benefit from British voice actors. I found the voice acting in Xenoblade to be far more realistic and emotive than the usual fare. Good man. Xenoblade was one of the few games I didn't switch to Japanese with Subtitles. Why British? Because we're awesome, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Wasn't the FE11 translation outsourced? Treehouse something or other. edit: Nope just happens to be an internal group with its own name. It was outsourced - partially, at least. I think this game could really benefit from British voice actors. I found the voice acting in Xenoblade to be far more realistic and emotive than the usual fare. I was watching a Xenoblade stream one of these days, and I agree. Though frankly, the kind of voice acting in this game is annoying. (KEYWORDS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merric Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Why British? The range British accents seem to suit the swords and sorcery setting a little more than American accents. I'm not sure a deep south USA accent or something like that would jump out as fitting well in this sort of setting? Slightly tangentially: Game of Thrones is very much in favour on TV at the moment, and they use a great range of accents (various British and European) in that to good effect imo, I cant off the top of my head think of any American accents in the show - even the american actors thrown on their best Queen's English and damn they do a good job (god bless Peter Dinklage). Anyway my point is there is a general perception that, rightly or wrongly, american accents dont seem to sell well in the fantasy setting.

General Banzai Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would prefer British voice actors. It's weird to see characters in a medieval setting speaking Americanized English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Xenoblade/Last Story VAs would be pretty awesome. Reyn and or Xord as everyone. Well, maybe not. But still, a question - Did SD's translation originate from NoA, or NoE? I can't remember if it was stated or not... NoE's release was first, but I couldn't say. Plus, it'd be cool to know who changed certain names in the translation. (Looking at you, Dolhr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Canadian voice actors Eh I could totally imagine William Shatner and Tommy Chong voicing characters, that would be awesome. (Yes, I looked it up. They're Canadian.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'm sure NoA is just going to copy and paste the translation from NoE's version. I hope they don't copy paste it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ϲharlie Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would prefer British voice actors. It's weird to see characters in a medieval setting speaking Americanized English. It would be just as weird hearing characters in a medieval setting speaking with a modern British accent. Accents are always evolving over time. The British accent of today is not the same as it was back in the medieval era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airship Canon Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Get a crazy mix of VAs like that anime "Tears to Tiara" and call it a day.

Anouleth Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I would prefer British voice actors. It's weird to see characters in a medieval setting speaking Americanized English.

Just call me AL Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 No. Have the same Japanese VAs speaking broken english. That would be hilarious. Oh, good Lord no! I would rather have several different VAs from several different groups (like Funimation and Ocean for example) and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
