Super Mecha Death Christ Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 On a scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being the ABSOLUTE WORST, what do the think the English dub will sound like? My guess is an 8. I'm excited and fearful to hear what these characters will sound like. The Japanese VA wasn't exactly top notch, but you know the dubs will probably be worse. In the Japanese version, voices can be super squeaky, whereas in the English dub, the girls can sound like they're being dubbed by dudes. The guys will probably be dubbed by 60-70 year old men.

Vath Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If FE9 is any indicator, I'd give it a 7. The voice acting wasn't so horrible that I'd want to cut my ears off or anything, but it was still pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Considering people will think it will suck no matter what I don't think it would matter anyway as long as people get both JPN and ENG voices so people can only use the JPN voices and hate on the ENG voices. But I may going on a tangent but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciarre Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'd hope that they go through with full voice acting, but that's pretty much not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm wondering if anyone along the lines of Will Friedle, or Frank Welker would be doing voices for this game. Like for instance, Krom, and Fauder respectively. I certainly would love it if Tara Strong did Lucina as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimue Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I think I'll say a 5. Some voices might be good, others not so good( or downright terrible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 FE10 was somehow worse. Mia's voice... *shudders* Oh and I want to punch the FE9 Mist in the face whenever she opens her mouth. That made all the hairs on the neck stand up.

frat_tastic Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 How much voice acting is actually in the game? FE9 was terribad but there was so little of it I didn't really care. FE10 also wasn't great but again there was hardly any so it didn't matter. If there is a substantial amount of voice acting in this game I'd guess the likelihood of it having higher quality goes up.

eCut Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I am going to say 8. Besides, even if it is bad I'll be okay with it; I'd rather bad voice acting than none. But it doesn't matter anyway, people will bitch about it. xP People expect too much from video game voices I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biabarr Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Maybe a 5ish? I think some characters are bound to be good, while others will probably be terrible. I wonder if NoA will just take the English voice acting like they did in Xenoblade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISRMMBV Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Way to be cynical when nobodies even be announced guys ^J^! I think it'll be fine. The reason VAs might've sucked in 9/10 is probably because the game didn't have voice acting but for the movie scenes. I'm absolutely positive this game will have top notch VA-ing....but then, voice acting rarely ever bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Considering people will think it will suck no matter what I don't think I'm actually not that picky. You should check out Rune Factory Frontier for the Wii. The voice acting is very solid. At worst the voices fit the character's image even in English. I'd rather bad voice acting than none. If I had to choose between bad voice acting and no voice acting, I'd pick no voice acting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISRMMBV Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I wonder if NoA will just take the English voice acting like they did in Xenoblade. God I hope that doesn't happen. The scenes were okay, but hearing those battle quotes over and over with those accents grew cumbersome. Though, that was also true of Dissidia (Well done!) and any game with repetitive battle quotes.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If the VA'ing is bad in a funny way, I don't mind. But either way, I'm sure you can turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapdragon Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well considering I'd give PoR and RD both 7. I say maybe 6 if we're lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vath Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Actually now that I think about it, all of it really depends on how well Nintendo expects this to sell. If they project good sales then you would naturally expect the VA's to be up to par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Mate Bob Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It will probably suck since I doubt NoA will want to pay the extra cash for actual good voice actors. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onestep Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I would kill for Liam O'Brien to be MU's voice. Seriously, if you can make it happen, tell me who you want dead. It will be done. Edited June 10, 2012 by Onestep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISRMMBV Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 All I know is that I'd like Vincent Martella (Hope in FF XIII and XIII-2) to play Henry, for the lolz. If not Vincent then Johnny Yong Bosh. Of course, God and NoA only know who'll play who though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airship Canon Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) If they go with British VAs: 8-9 If they go with the interns they used for KI:U: 4-7 If they hire Cup of Tea's gaggle of VAs: 1 -it's gonna be good. Also: I hope they get Steve Blum for Frederick. That is all. Edited June 10, 2012 by Airship Canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguu Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Whether the voice acting is good or not depends less on who the voice actors are and more on how good the voice directors are. But anyways, I want Troy Baker and Steven Blum for mu voices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppy Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm gonna go with a 5 or 6 here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
