I generally pick Japanese voice acting because 9 times out of 10 the Englih voice acting is so bad that I can't even listen to it. Maybe the Japanese dub is equally as bad but since I don't know what normal coversational Japanese sounds like it's better than nothing.

It's much more difficult to identify bad voice acting when you can't tell

voice acting is good or above: English

Voice acting is just 'on par' or below: Other language

I read faster than people talk, so if the voice acting is just reading off text, then all it does is detract because I just hear

"Anon, we need to attack th-"
"We should-"
"Use the A button to-"
"Wah, what are we going to do on the be-"
"Lemme get dat dic-"

If the voice acting isn't good, I'd rather just hear mumbles or sounds that reinforce the mood like gasps, 'hey's, 'oh no's, or even fake languages are better with 'unta chaka paka', etc
>>

English dubs for Jap games are often pretty bad, not because western VAs aren't good, but rather because good western VAs don't do weeb games. Jap VAs on the otherhand still do Otaku games even after getting a decent amount of industry experience. Western VAs get out of anime games the second they have any amount of industry experience to fall back on.

I finished Nier:Automata in Japanese. The prologue in English felt a little flat, so I made the permanent switch to Japanese.

After beating the game, I went to look at some of the cutscenes on YouTube, which are mostly in English. I had no idea that 9S's English voice actor would do a great job, especially in his mental breakdowns. Better than Japanese 9S, definitely.

I do think 2B and A2 English voices feel off.

Some titles like Nier Automata has some great English voice acting, especially 9S and Eve and that extends to FFXV with Noctis (same VA as Eve) but you have games like BotW with trash tier voice acting.
There is no "I only play sub" or "I only play dub", it just depends on the game for honestly. Shitters who immediately dismiss any dub just because it's a dub are unbearable though.

If you don't play any game with its original voices, you are a bottom-line pleb with garbage taste, plain and simple. Same with movies.
The only exceptions are games like MGS where the english voice acting is cast simultaneously as the japanese one by the same director. (In this case, westaboo Kojima.) Anything else and you're consuming an inferior product in favor of the familiarity brought by hearing the voices in your native language.

at what point in time exactly did /v/ become this bad?

at this point I'd say even /r/gaming has better discussions and memes than this shithole

there's not even anyone here particularly good at any game either
>>
>>389768112
People like to focus on 2B, but there's a lot more changes in the dub script than just her dialogue and they all seem pretty arbitrary and change things for no reason. I don't understand why localization companies feel the need to make these alterations, I'm fairly certain that their audience just wants to play the original game, but in their own language, nothing else.

Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.

I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

It doesn't help that they use the same dozen voice actors for everything.

I will say that the dub script was at least acted decently. That the ACTING quality was way above the usual dub.

I don't even know much japanese and those subtitles were definitely much more snarky than the JP audio I heard.

Why can't localisation companies just have two scripts.

>one accurate yet readable subtitle to use with japanese audio

>one localised to hell so that it doesn't sound awkward

If I'm playing in Japanese, then I want accuracy, In English I want natural english dialog. You can see the difference in the scripts for Metal Gear Solid 1 vs the later games.

MGS1 on the PS1 has much looser translation but the dialog doesn't sound so blatantly "this is translated literally from japanese" awkward. Its great, and David hayter doesn't oversell his snake voice.

So you want to play Dark Souls with Japanese voices?

You are right. I don't.
>game comes out without VA
Love it to death. Characters sound great in my head.
>enhanced por adds VA
Characters over react to every type and/or sound like shit.

>come to /v to talk about the gamr
Weebs shitposting about muh glorious Ninamoto Wakarusa senpaitachi or complaining about the dub. Little to no discussion about the game.

Voice acting was a fucking mistake.

because shitposting about dub vs undub is so much better, right?
(you) tried

>>389772247
How about stimulating your brain for a change by reading a book, faggot.

If a game has no voice acting it can afford much better and longer writing.
>>
>>389766324
Weebs are the problem
>>
>>389774786
there's literally zero newer games worthy of discussion you negro

the only thing people discuss these days apart from the same old metagame is the characters/world/storyline and voice acting is a key part of that
>>
>>389775035
Non-weebs need to be rounded up and thrown in the oven.
>>
>>389775059
If there was a game worth discussing, you'd have 50 users from another platform swarming the post about how their entirely different game is better than said game.
>>
>>389774825
>longer
maybe
>better
not really

Nevermind the fact that good voice acting makes for a much more engaging experience.

implying you can't tell when a Japanese VA suck. Just go and listen to Mari from Nana Maru San Batsu.

Honestly, I've played tons of Japanese games dub and sub, I've never really been on an instance where the English was worse. It's always passable at the very least I don't get why people get so upset about voice work.
It kind of reminds of when people bitched about illidans voice actor changing from wc3 to bc even though the original va was utter garbage

Japanese voice acting can be cliched, but it is never downright terrible or contextually wrong

English VAs can be tolerable, but are absolute shit most of the time

>English VAs try to have voices matching the vocabulary, tone, and setting of the characters they portray
>Japanese VAs just speak in their normal voices

I agree the accents were bad, but at least they fucking tried; the Japanese acting was lazy and bland as fuck. People would complain just as much if the English VAs were just a bunch of Americans talking normally, so why do the Japanese get a pass? Is it just because people don't understand the language so it all sounds exotic and foreign to them anyway and they can't think critically about it?

DeSu.

>>389775463

The English voices in Street Fighter are just as good as the Japanese. And in some cases, like with Juri, they are actually better and offer more personality to the character than the Japanese voice does.
>>
>>389776341
>critical thinking
if you think critically enough there's no reason to play a piece of shit like FFXIV
>>
>>389775305
I like her boring normalness, it's different
>>
>>389776341
Because in this situation
Japanese talking normally > Awful hammed in accents
I'll even say that some of the primals, Ravana and Susano in english sound good, because they aren't hammed in british accents.

so is this Yda the one that died or was she already her sister pretending at this point.

I think these are good, primals in english are great, but you only hear them during their fight.
If I'm hearing the british squadron with those hammed in voices for the majority of the game, I'm going to play in japanese
>>
>>389776341
I didn't play it in Japanese so I have no idea of the overall quality, but they sound fine in that clip. As for the English VAs, how do they match the tone of their characters? Minfilia sounds completely flat and emotionless, Yda sounds awful, I honestly thought she was a robot made by that little dude for a long time because of how emotionless she sounds, the mask doesn't help. The voice acting was so panned by everyone in the community they replaced everyone's voice actor in the expansion, with much better voice actors I'll add.
>>389776748
It's Yda's sister.
>>
>>389776659

Juri's English voice acting is better than the Japanese voice acting. She has far more personality. Japanese voice actors only know how to sound like themselves and never put any real personality into a character.
>>
>>389776925
Here's the improved voice acting, not the same characters but you can tell it's on a higher level for sure.

This acting is good.

Stop it, I already know you're dumb. No need to confirm it.

>Japanese voice actors only know how to sound like themselves

nice meme, did you pick it up somewhere here to fit in?

>never put any real personality

that so? or is it that you don't know enough japanese to understand the nuances of their speech kiddo?
