Lord_Grima Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I really enjoyed the voice acting in Echoes, it helped make each character unique and different. My favorite VA? Berkut. Mae, Lukas, and the "Gray vs Tobin scenes" are also top performances. Though Silque's song "The Heritors of Arcadia", just wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Same with everyone. This is the best voice acting FE has ever done and something that the Tellius games wish they had(atleast PoR). My personal favorites are Tobin, Kliff, Python and Matilda alongside Saber, Jesse as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirjiPlayz Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I, personally, think voice acting was a wonderful new addition to the series. It breathes new life into old characters, matching their personalities exactly. You get a sense of suspense from some characters, an understanding of how severe the war is at others.

DodgeDusk Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Fantastic. Someone who hasn't been mentioned who I thought did a really good job was Chris Hackney as Boey. Those screams... Doug Stone as Mycen was great, too. But the real stars are Ian Sinclair as Berkut, Chermai Leigh as Mae, Doug Erholtz as Python, and Kyle McCarley as Alm. All the actors did an excellent job, though.

Lord Chrom of Ylisse Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I love the voice acting, I barely skip a line. It gives more life to the characters. Hope they add this to future FE games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrimsonflash Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I found the voice acting to be pretty good, but I do not think that full VAs are the best way to do things, because it makes localizations take longer and we also risk the inevitable cliff that they will reach when they write too many characters whose voices kinda need to be grating.

Silverly Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I think I'll say this. The voice acting in my opinion is solid, though not amazing unlike many others are saying it is. I don't consider it any better than Awakening's or Fates voice acting, though we can all agree that it blows everything Tellius had out of the water (which isn't really too hard of a task). The things it has going for it is that none of the acting sound grating (at least not consistently), but I do feel some choices were just... odd. Take Berkut, who everyone worships. While I considering the acting itself to be top notch, the voice itself seems rather off. Berkut is not much older than Alm, yet he sounds like a 40 year old man? Huh? I find it rather distracting. Celica also sounds a little too melodramatic to me at times, and Tobin can get irritating. People are saying this this way better than the 3DS titles VAs, and while I can say the acting isn't bad, I don't consider it better, rather its simply on par. I think if there was full fledged dialogue in Awakening and Fates I think it'd be just as well received, though likely the former more so then the latter.

I can see where your coming from with Berkut's voice. I had actually assumed he was older than Alm by a considerable amount. Personally I liked both the VA and the voice itself. I guess just chalk it up to personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheZakkAttack Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Lucy Heartfilia Mae's really good. I also like Gray's voice acting too. Overall, it was a solid performance by everyone in the cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Holy Elf Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Pretty good overall, though not my favourite. I have much love for the full voice acting, though, and not having to endure the grunts and brief half-lines of Awakening. Special shout-out to Mae's voice work which is spectacular. Berkut is pretty good too even though I do wish he had sounded younger, as already noted. Most other parts were solid too (Saber, Sonya, Alm, Lukas, Clair, Celica, Boey all scan as pretty good to me at a quick memory). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustino Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The voice acting in this game is superb. I don't believe I have anything bad to say about this. Mae's voice actress did an amazing job voicing the character. I also loved Saber's and Catria's voices too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodlebug Four Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Best voice acting in the series so far, even better than Awakenings. I was rather disappointed with some of the Japanese castings, mainly for the fact a lot of the girls sound like Moe Stereotypes (Tatiana, Est, and especially Delthea), and Japanese Sonya lacks that cynical tone and sounds like a typical seductress character. Berkut also sounded like your standard bratty bishonen straight out of a Otome Game (even though I do like Tatsuhisa Suzuki). Really liked many of the performances, especially Alm, Celica, Lukas, Clive, Clair, Saber, Mathilda, Python, Forsyth, Gray, Mae, Tatiana, Sonya, and Ian Sinclair's Berkut is <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slumber Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Pretty damn good. I think one thing that made it sound good was that it didn't feel like the voice actors were putting on "a voice". It felt a lot more natural than the other FE games, and one thing that plagues a lot of Japanese games when they get American/English voice acting is that it feels like a lot of voice actors are deliberately doing an "anime voice". Kyle could have done a "THIS IS MY ANIME PROTAGONIST VOICE!" for Alm, but it was a lot more down to earth and it never felt grating. Erica could have done "This is my demure anime waifu voice..." for Celica. Delthea could have been one of a million "THIS IS MY SHRILL LITTLE GIRL VOICE", but it never really crossed that line. Basically, the cast did a very good job at not crossing that line that makes so many English dubs unbearable, including other FE games.

Heptade Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think it is amazing, and turns mediocre conversations into great ones. Before I played the game, I read some of the support conversations on this website. I thought Leon was a whiny, annoying stereotype, but the way he was voiced gave him a playful charisma. In fact, while reading the supports, I thought they were among the worst in the series. But the actors bring life to the characters, give them lots of charm, and personality traits that go beyond the words written. Berkut is one of my favorite antagonists in the series, but I'm sure I wouldn't have given a rat's ass about him were it not for Ian Sinclair's acting.

Thinks Their Own Way Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The voice acting is good like the other 3Ds games; nothing to get worked up about. I call bullshit on Berkut being the same age as Alm apparently. I found Berkut to be unintentionally funny in his moments of anguish; but that's just me.

qwernst Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The best voice acting in the series in my opinion. Ian Sinclair as Berkut stole the show pretty much. Other great performances go to Alexis Tipton with Clair, Christopher Corey Smith for Slayde, Ray Chase for Fernand, Doug Erholtz for Python, Keith Silverstein for Saber, and Bonnie Gordon for Silque. Weakest performance for me was Joe J Thomas as Deen. He sounded too much like Squidward for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperIb Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Top tier voice acting. There weren't any characters who's voice I hated, although Catria's was a little more bland than I would've liked. (I thought she would've been a little more soft-pitched and have had more emotion.) My personal favorites are probably; Alm, Celica, Mae, Claire, Berkut, Delthea, Saber, Leon, Est, Fernand and Shade (DLC). So like... a lot of the cast lol. I really do hope the FE for the Switch and future FE games will continue to be fully voiced - it really does make the game much more enjoyable, especially when all the VAs do a fantastic job.

Dayni Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The performances really elevate this writing. I had my worries when I first heard the announcement, but those worries have since been thoroughly dashed and the work put in has to be applauded still. However, some of the better line reads can be pretty well hidden too. One particular example is if you have Python attack with Forsyth in range. Forsyth can then remark "Wow, he's actually trying!". This kind of stuff is great for establishing how the act and how they react to each other, especially if they're familiar. It's also usually good for a laugh, like above.

Alastor15243 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The voicework is fantastic, definitely, and I'd like to see dubbing of this quality going forward in the series. It definitely helps keep you in the moment and keeps any minor writing flaws or plotholes from completely ruining th experience. To the point where I wonder if it would have been as easy to see Fates' writing for the garbagefire it is if it had been fully voice acted at this quality. It's also, I'm pretty sure, the only reason why anyone likes Berkut. Because it suddenly occurred to me after a replay of the game that nearly every single line he says after Alm kicks his ass is a line I could easily imagine being said by prequel Anakin Skywalker.

ashlyn Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The voice acting in Echoes was amazing. My favorite voice actor in the game was Ian Sinclair, who did a really great job of voicing Berkut. I liked that they had voice acting for almost everything in the game, and I hope that they do that with future games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendee Lee did an amazing job in getting the best performance out of every actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altrosa Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I like the voice acting, it's actually very high quality and I enjoy all it adds, but I also hate it! Having everything subtitled means I read WAY faster than the lines are natually read, so I tend to constantly skip through it since it's all done over static imagery. Letting it run natually starts to drag. I wish I could turn it off at times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
