>play blockbuster triple-A RPG made with a 100+ million dollar budget >shocked by how stilted and awkward the voice acting sounds >look up the cast on imdb >it's a bunch of literal who teenybopper actors who have mainly acted in shitty cw shows
>play random low-budget rpg from the 90's >not fully voiced, but what voice acting there is, is top notch >look up the cast on imdb >it's the creme of the crop of character actors who are not necessarily famous, but highly skilled at their craft, including the likes of keith david and dan castellaneta
I'm still wondering why Legate Lanius voice actor isn't in more stuff. Dude has a great voice.
Brandon Richardson
remember when these fucking douchebags tried to stage a "strike"?
Evan Mitchell
Square games have had shit voice acting for decades, so I doubt that's the reason.
Aiden Reyes
Literally how could it be unions? Cheap ass game companies are just not spending time casting and looking for talented actors, especially in the west
Justin Johnson
Haha yeah fuck them for wanting decent working conditions
Jayden Wright
If they want to complain about their work they should find different work.
Adrian Garcia
they have decent working conditions, the people involved were people like fucking Steven Blum and Mary McGlynn who have made shitloads of money from video games already. They were trying to imply that companies should pay them more because they are an intrinsic part of video games, the whole thing was memory holed because it was extremely arrogant and mean spirited.
Justin Baker
If your voice acting budget is split between 50 languages of course the dubs are going to be shit
Noah Price
lol now the stupid ass morons at /v hate the voice acting.
Good that no one listen to /v
Games selling damn good:)
Ryder Hughes
Games that are originally voiced in Japanese always, always have shitty english dubs.
Brayden Carter
Japs games always have garbage English VA. Only Western games have good English VA.
Adrian Smith
Give a few examples
Oliver Collins
The game only has japanese, english, french and german dubs. That's not 50.
Josiah Carter
>EOP tranny/dubtranny I narrowed down your problem.
Jackson Martin
I thought the voices in DQXI were pretty good.
Bentley Price
Meantime western movies can't even hire a person that is literate in a foreign language to write a foreign word without spelling errors
Nathan Collins
>look up Japanese voice actors >they're all full time voice actors who have been in hundreds of anime
>look up Western voice actors >they're either extras from crappy tv shows or this is their first job
Why doesn't USA have a proper entertainment industry?
Caleb Bailey
user, the real problem here, is that other languages, including Japanese, just sound way better than English, so it feels as though the English dubs are bad. But it's the language that's the problem
>French And German dubs sound better because of the language X doubt
Blake Moore
yes, English just can't handle it
Julian Gutierrez
Non-Japanese dubs are the biggest waste of money in the gaming industry, 90% of the time they are garbage and nobody would miss them if they were gone
Austin Hill
>played with the dub on Why would you do this to yourself?
Jaxson Thompson
FFXII was kino, although it’s also one of the less weebier games in the franchise so that might explain why the characters don’t sound so stilted and unnatural.
Jaxson Price
>dude let's make everyone talk like they're on a renaissaince faire >kino
