Captain Karnage Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just want to see what you all prefer personally I like Matthew's preformance better, he just has more energy and it sound like he put way more care into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalanche Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 There both very good, but I'm just more familiar with Matt, so he gets my vote. My unmitigated fanboy man crush on Matt Mercer might also have something to do with it. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Mercer overdoes the vibrato a bit, but I feel that he has the stronger voice overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I like both, but voted for Hosoya because I like his voice slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I expect it to be majority for Mercer here. This is an English speaking forum after all. You all prefer Rena's rendition of Hitori Omou. It should be the same here. But come on, vote for Reflet/Robin Boku voice.

shadowofchaos Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree. I mean the original flows better in Japanese. But that's just one Japanese speaker's opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNLEASH IT Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Honestly, they sound really similar to each other imo. Which is kinda weird, now that I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just one Japanese speaker's opinion. I mean, I like both, I just kind of prefer Matt. Bare in mind that I have basically no experience with Robin (or Reflet"s I guess) Japanese voice, so I never had that moment where I recognized they shared the voice (which I did in English). Bare in mind that I'm mostly just joking around. Both versions sound good and your free to like one over the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebony Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Preach it fam! I'm sorry, it's a hard choice. But muh loyalty to Mercer... this is a harder choice than nohr or hoshido! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all prefer Rena's rendition of Hitori Omou. It should be the same here. But come on, vote for Reflet/Robin Boku voice. I still prefer the original version of Hitori Omu, no insult to Rena but the original version sounds better with a soprano 1 rather than a soprano 2 or an alto 1 but I still think Matthew has a better singing voice baritone>tenor and in my comparision the final map themes in both versions (reflecting on Heir of Fates) have a lot of energy put into them. imo Matthew put in more energy and it came out sounding better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldrox Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Matt for sure, though, the japanese version is great in its own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah! It's where I first heard him and fell in love with his voice. Another comparison: Mercer and Sugita are both in Jojo!

(Jotaro and Joseph ofc) and they're both two of my favorite vas of all time 4ever It's a shame that the dub of Battle Tendency wasn't that good. Bryce Pappenbrook's fake Italian accent makes me cringe every time. Mercer is also good as Kanji in Persona 4 Golden. I expect it to be majority for Mercer here. This is an English speaking forum after all. You all prefer Rena's rendition of Hitori Omou. It should be the same here. But come on, vote for Reflet/Robin Boku voice. Eh, personally while I prefer the Japanese version of Hitori Omou, I think that the English version of End of All (both the Azura and Shigure versions) are better.

Original Alear Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) I'm gonna go with the english, but I'm not sure I like either of the vocals for this song that much. I like the instrumentals, though. I think I prefer the japanese and english vocals for the final chapter of the main game over the japanese or english vocals for the dlc. In general I like the "end of path/dlc" music more for the instrumentals. I think the vocals are better in lost in thoughts all alone, compared to any end of all.

Light Strategist Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm actually a little weird on this topic. With video games I'll favour listening to the English version of the vocal soundtrack, even if in the entire soundtrack, I have no preference. Anime on the other hand, I'll happily listen to songs in Japanese. Then again... maybe that's just anime dubs not making different songs... unless it's Pokémon, which they really shouldn't have done for XY&Z... .o/ INDIFFERENT!

shadowofchaos Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I'm pretty sure they both voice Alvin in Tales of Xillia too. That, I was aware of. Alvin is literally Chrom. Sugita voices him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebony Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Image in my head of Chrom and Robin aggressively singing a duet together through the entire events of Awakening. Thanks, man. Only acceptable if Chrom is also singing it in English. As Sugita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
