Hopefully the voice acting can be modded into something more bizarre.

I don't know about that, I never would've been as emotionally affected by "Moms are tough" if it weren't uttered out loud by Hope's dead mom using actual spoken words.

Bravely Second has very nice voice acting, Edea and Yew put in great performances in particular.

I will never not be baffled by Yuna being perfectly fine in X-2, Hedy Burress improving as a VA by a great leap over the years, and then when it's time for Dissidia 012 they went "Hey, remember how you sounded awkward as gently caress for your first VA role? Well do that again, okay?"

The worst voice actor is easily Yuna, who has no emotions whatsoever in any of her lines.

Other than her, I thought they were all acceptable, if taking a noticeable dip when lip flaps were complicated.

Yuna only gets Real Emotion in FFX-2, and even then not really :v:

Because Voice directors are the real make-or-break of dubs. You can make mediocre talent sound great with the right direction and situations.

I know, I meant what kind of director thought hamstringing her was a good idea. J.A.T. sounds great as Tidus in those games, why keep Yuna so garbage?

A million factors. Lack of time, money, being a cold-read, having the wrong read on a character, etc. The voice director probably had a fraction of the salary and the time to put together the entire Disgaea 2 dub out compared to the average Square Enix game.

It's very possible the voice direction was to once again imitate the JP Voice Actors and Japanese Yuna sounds about as bad as FFX Hedy Buress. Also, it's FFX Yuna and it's very possible she either decided to be true to what the character sounded like at that point or the ADR Director was given specific instruction to make her sound like she did back then.

The Japanese voice acting is largely worse. Tidus and Yuna both have much worse actors in Japanese than they do in the US.

I don't understand Japanese so unless it's Goku's japanese voice I could care less whether or not the Japanese voices are "good". Maybe some of the other characters have good voice actors but when the main character is so lovely, I'm not gonna waste the time to figure it out. Tidus's english voice is like Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World levels of bad, I don't understand how anybody could've thought this was good when it originally came out.

The main plus to Japanese VA regardless of acting quality is that not understanding them means you get the closest experience to no VA at all and can just read the dialog with no audio distraction, just like old games.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The second Tidus opened his baka mouth in the inferior American dub I unsheathed my katana and sliced my monitor in two. Lucky for me, I have dual monitors.

I can only ignore bad acting in a foreign language. If I hear bad acting in a language I understand I am forced to listen to every word and cannot do a thing about it. A man comes to my house and punches me if I press the mute button.
