Okay so you only posted the Japanese version and I still have no clue what she sounds like in English.

Because the point is to show how bad the Japanese one is, no matter what it's compared to. I'm not going to cram 7 other languages in my OP.

If you're not a turbo retard, you would understand that the japanese voices were written by the people who made thegame, directed by the people who played the game and is the intended vision by the peoole who made the game.

Doesn't mean it's good

>>379830679
It flows and matches best with everything else, because it was made that way.
Just play the original voices above all else. Be it French, japanese or Polsky.

>>379830830
Only the lip syncing does, honestly. The actual way the lines are delivered are just... wrong. Like everything Zelda says sounds so scripted and in that generic anime girl voice where if she expresses too much it's bad because it's not "cute". Personally I much prefer the Latin Spanish one. It "flows" much better than the Japanese ever could.

Nice generalizations. Cutscene direction doesn't magically change between languages, neither does central plot points like the 100 year gap (which neuters the whole thing right out of the gate). It could have the best voice acting ever recorded in a video game and it wouldn't matter.

>>379835360
the cutscenes are mediocre at worst, and nothing that a good VA can't heighten or rise out of.

>>379835360
>which neuters the whole thing right out of the gate
How?

Japanese VAs tend to be better because they're actually involved in the development process.

I wish I could JUST change Zelda's voiceover to literally any of the other languages and keep everything else in English. Why does she have a british accent? Her father doesn't have one. No one else in Hyrule talks like that. WHY!?

>>379842098
>Why does she have a british accent?
Because she's white. She should have the best accent. Several of the other characters do too.

>>379842098
Her father's voice actor in English is shit too. He sounds like a young guy trying to sound like an old guy.

I'm enjoying the game in Russian but that's probably because I don't know any of it. I don't know how a multi-million dollar game ended up with such poor voice work.

German is German. Spanish Eu is horror, sounds like 80 yo librarian from my old high school. Russian Zelda could crush dicks!

I'm not a weeb and I barely watch anime, but what's the appeal of dubs? I've never had a problem reading subtitles, and most dubs feel so poorly done and out of place.

>>379842098
Every regal, powerful character has to have a British accent, regardless of how the other characters talk. That's one of the core laws of English-language film and television.

As someone who speaks fluent Japanese and English, I can testify that Zelda's Japanese voice acting is fucking atrocious.

That said, her English voice actor is bad too, why didn't they just get a native British speaker? It's not as bad as the Japanese voice acting though, not even close.

>>379829794
Spain's one is great. Spain has great voice actors in general. Is actually pretty common for burguers to have shit voice acting since they don't have to voice over their hollywood producitons.

>>379829261
isn't this just a function of the voice actor talent? is your point that jap VAs suck? They probably get paid a lot less and maybe Japs just don't care.

I guess I just don't understand what point you're trying to make.

I've been out of the loop since the election primaries started, did this game suck?
I predicted it would because it looked like it was trying too hard to be a watered down WRPG instead of a OoT rehash like Zelda is meant to be, also based on the trailers it was all just empty fields with nothing to do.

>>379829261
Generally, I go with whatever I hear first - that sets what I expect the character to sound like and anything else sounds off.

BotW's English VA was so bad that even after playing the entire game with it, the Japanese still sounds more fitting.

>>379829261

They're just ironic weeaboos, OP. Her eng voice is fine. An exaggerated fake British accent is way more fitting for a princess than a generic gook one.

Considering they never do that, and how in fact no company ever lets you choose between all those languages, I say it's praiseworthy.

>>379848976
Hopefully it means good things for the future. If they insist on letting NoA handle localisations we might at least be able to use the original audio.
