A Realm Retold Chapter 1: Treasures Of The Main

Without further ado I present to you the first installment of the FanDub series for FFXIV 1.0

A Realm Retold Chapter 1: Treasures Of The Main

I hope you enjoy it as we are hoping to do the rest of story. Chapter 2 is in the works and after that we might take a brief break to see if this project gains any steam and support. I had fun doing the Rostensthal/Sthalmann character and look forward to doing more in the future.

Lol the Bloopers is funny like hell i enjoy that way more.

Just a shameless Bump!

How long it take you to do this???

It took a few months, Mostly because its just one person compiling and splicing everything together. I have been slowly becoming more and more involved though and will be taking over the Voice Casting and Directing starting with Chapter 2.

Nice job cutting the video together to fit the dialogue. The transitions to the echo sequences are nice too and the blue tint is a nice touch, although it might be on a little too heavy. IMO you need more background/ambience though. As it is it's just voices on a muffled video, instead of a "cohesive" movie. Keep it up!

Thanks I'll keep that in mind for chapter 2.

I was sufficiently entertained. I loved all the English accents.

Thanks! With people from all over the world participating it was great that we could keep the "Brit" theme for Limsa Lominsa.

Just wanted to stop in and say bump!

Time for another bump!

This was a good watch, and really made me wish I was still playing XIV at this moment.

Some were definitely Scottish.

Isn't Scottish still technically British?

From what I thought I knew, there is no singular British accent. There are several different accents from the area known as Great Britain which include the Scottish, Welsh, English etc. accents.

It's like saying a person with a Southern accent here in the states doesn't have an American accent. Technically they do, as do Canadians, valley girls, and the Kennedys. They all sound different but they're all still from the region known as America. Depending on the context of the word America.

Now you could certainly be more accurate when referring to each individual accent but I'm thinking it wouldn't entirely be wrong, depending on context, lumping all of those accents under "British".

*sidenote*: I noticed a Russian accent in there too.

British is acceptable, just less common to use it to refer to Scotland. After all, there is an independence referendum in the Autumn of 2014 to leave the UK. ^^
I only have to drive 30 mins in any direction to find an accent change.

Lol, technically you are right that they are quite similar but I dare you to go to Ireland and say "Irish, british, same thing" They are the same area and stemmed from the same dialect but they are different.

Yes, for Rostensthall/Sthalmann I was going for the Scottish accent more than the Cockney British accent I used for Emerick. Make the characters more distinct.

very nice!! :)

Actually I think they're different. It's just that they're form the same region. Ireland isn't a part of the UK, unlike Scotland.

I think someone from New Orleans, Louisiana sounds very different than someone from Seattle, Washington but they're both from the United States. On the other hand, I think people from Vancouver, British Columbia don't really sound that much different than people from Seattle, Washington besides a couple of vowel inflections but they're from different countries. All three are still from North America.

If an English person was talking to a Scottish person while in the UK they might refer to all of the above as Yankees while none of them would really identify with it. The one from Vancouver isn't even from the States.

The revolutionary and civil wars were both fought prior to even the founding of the Western territories let alone Washington's statehood in 1889. The one from Seattle would identify as a Mariner or a Seahawk before they would identify themselves as a Yankee :p.

The person from New Orleans might actually be offended depending.

I imagine it's more appropriate to stay as specific as possible depending on the company you're with or which hemisphere of the planet you're in, but I think on the whole, in this international community, people tend to be a bit more lenient.

All in all I liked all of the accents.

Lol, well I guess I will have to concede to your well worded post! Glad you liked what we did. I know I love playing with accents and Scottish was a hard one for me to pick up, I only hope I did it justice and don't offend the Scots.

Even though the Lodestone has been slow lately, I'm gunna bump this again.

Dont forget to check out the blooper reel!

Can we get a hint for the release date of the next episode?

Do you plan on doing all three city starting quests?

Are you going to have the same main character for each?

Is four questions enough?

This was good; I'd forgotten a lot since September 2010. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Hehehe if only I didn't hate my voice I'd actually be interested in participating. Keep p the good work!

Well most of the video is complete, we are working on an annotated menu for chapter selection, All we need now for chapter 2 to be released are lines to be completed and handed in. There are a few people (including myself) that have not handed in their lines yet.

The hope was for it to be live Monday but it looks like it will be a little bit yet. I hope we will have it released before E3 for sure.

I think there is a plan to at least do the introduction for each starting city, The only thing with that is we only have so much footage using the main character and that is important to keep the story consistent. After a certain point all the storys become the same anyway don't they?

Hope that answers your questions!

We are still looking for voices, artists, and musicians. if your up for joining us to make the chapters better please check this video out and sign up!

OoooOooooOooooOoooo...I watched your audition video...yes, yes, I'd like to try out for it. Yes. Also, I haven't watched the entirety of chapter one, but so far, so delicious~

I e-mail the appropriate address with demos sometime this week. ;)

Sweet! I look forward to your email!

I have important questions! Are there any specific lines or emotions I should be running through in this demo? Am I supposed to try out different races or try specific characters? Am I just supposed to speak and say hello? I've never done a demo before. He he. I just like playing at characters with my sister or with friends over D&D. Ahem.

Demos are generally to display your range. Try finding a FFXIV YouTube clip including several very different characters saying a few lines each and try acting those characters out very differently.

That was great, I'm excited to see the rest of the story.

Exactly this. I just want to hear your voice and see how your equipment sounds. This will be how I gauge what will suit you best. Are you flexible in your voice? Show me some examples. Are you great at comedy, drama, or other emotions? then showcase yourself. Once I get a feel I will send you a line i want you to read as a character then I will offer a role and invite to our group.
