Water Mage Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I believe that Arthur's english VA is Xander Mobus, for those who don't know him, he is the voice of the announcer of Smash Bros for Wii U and 3ds. Am I the only one who thinks it's awesome for Arthur may be voiced by the annoucer of Smash Bros? It's not confirmed but it looks pretty likely.

Nanima Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 So.. there are already some pretty big dialogue changes. Just look at Takumi right here: "Nohrians aren't like normal, decent people. They live for the thrill of battle. I shall delight putting those cowards in their place.[..] Agreed, It's never a good idea to underestimate ones enemies. I refuse to lose the Nohrians, especially with that traitor among their ranks. We must prevail for the sake of Hoshido and all that is good in the world!" Meanwhile in the japanese version he says: "An ambush, is it? Well, I expected no less of them.We won’t run away with our tails between our legs. It’s what they want.[..] That’s right. But be on your guard. I don’t want to lose to that traitor… We will win. This is Hoshido’s justice." I mean, the sessence of what he is saying is the same, but they are really making him sound much more openly racist towards Nohr. Now I won't deny that he has racist views towards Nohr, especialy when he is ranting at Kamui and Aqua in the beginning. But it feels really overdone and gratuitous in the English version.

Carnation Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Polygon posted 21 minutes of Conquest gameplay too. Didn't have a chance to watch it yet, but I hope there's more audible battle quotes! I already like English!Arthur. So glorious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I heard Nishiki and immediately thought "The Second coming of Teddie." If it's not Dave Wittenberg or Sam Riegel, than I'm going to eat my socks. At first I thought I was Sam Riegel, but his "Problem Solved" line didn't sound like him.

Anacybele Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Ooh, I like seeing Takumi sound like that. I was afraid Hoshido would be portrayed as too goody goody. Both nations should have good points and bad points. Nohr being all for battle, violence, and conquest while Hoshido has some Nohr-hating racists works nicely for bad points.

Ennui Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Did anyone else hear Effie's voice in the second video that was posted. It sounded quite deep You mean when she was dual striking with Beruka? Yeah, it did sound kinda deep. These voices will indeed take some getting used to (Beruka sounded so high pitched, esp. during that critical hit she got in the one vid). I do like Arthur's voice though, I will say that.

Fuzzlekins Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) ...And? It fits her tomboyish, big-sisterly character alright. It also helps that there's some actual emoting with her. Felicia just sounds bored outside of combat. That's actually how I imagined Hinoka's voice sounding SHE KINDA SOUNDS LIKE RAINBOW DASH!! I think I might like her. yall have bad taste See, I never liked the "scratchy cracking voice" for tomboys thing that seems to happen in media because to me it just sounds like they're recovering from a sore throat. I expected a more mature sounding voice. Not necessarily a deep voice, but one suited for a big sister. Also to make this slightly more on topic, the voice clips of the different characters seem to differ in quality for me. Some lines sound great, some sound bad. This applies to most characters and I don't think I'm 100% satisfied with any of the voices though I do like Azura quite a bit.

Anacybele Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I've honestly heard voices that sound way more like they have a cold/throat problem than Hinoka's and Rainbow Dash's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but making Takumi seem more bad isn't going to improve shit on Conquest. Takumi was already a deeply flawed character and arguably the most realistic Hoshidan. Making him more of an unreasonably racist scumbag isn't the solution. You aren't greying a white character, you are painting a grey one black. Takumi didn't need that treatment.

nordopolica Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wow, Felicia's voice. Hoo boy. Joker Master Race? Other than that, pretty solid! I'm enjoying what I'm seeing and even though I own the game I'm still psyched to go through it again for the gameplay and the awful, awful story.

Namarid Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Leo's dub is amazing definitely my favourite so far. The way he said "I will erase you!" was great. Shows he's not to be messed with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linfan Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 At first I thought I was Sam Riegel, but his "Problem Solved" line didn't sound like him. Oddly enough, the first thing that came to my mind when I heard Nishiki's voice was "Vic Mignogna". On the other hand I don't consider myself to be good at remembering voices, so Idk. But overall I'm fine with most of the english voices. the names not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanima Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Even if you want Hoshido to be more grey, there are plenty of ther characters to go for. Going for Takumi just devalues his very much justified misgivings with Kamui. Even if you take the possession in account, he already feels a lot more aggressive in chapter 5. I thought we wanted more depth and not less. Edited January 26, 2016 by Nanima² Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I actually don't mind the voices that much at all. I like most of them to an extent.

AbsoluteZer0Nova Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well anyway it looks like Kamui is more resolved about choosing Nohr as he doesn't seem as regretful, which I know some people didn't particularly like. "Sooner or later we must face the consequences of our actions. I knew this would happen when I followed my heart and sided with my Nohrian family. I must stand behind that decision no matter what. I will not run." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
