Heavensward Voice Acting

[AsbelLahnt]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to whoever is directing the voice acting this go around. When I play these games, I hope to be immersed, and while playing A Real Reborn hearing the slow, monotonous, dictated script reading.....zzzz... I could not stand it!

This go around, the characters have some inflection. Lines are being read quickly, and slowly, with emphasis. I don't know if anyone else listens for it, or cares, but I do! I LOVE this go around! Please continue. For the love of Haedelyn continue!

It is better, but also the voice actors are different? I found it a little jarring

Pretty sure Urianger isn't voiced by Gideon Emery anymore.

Yea the voice acting in this expansion is really, good so far I was very impressed.

[AsbelLahnt]

It's true, that was sort of a surprise to me as well. But I instantly fell in love with them because conversations flow more easily. I'm actually wanting to hear them speak to experience the story, instead of speed reading while muting the sound to get it over with.

I agree. It was nice to hear the emotion and life in the characters' voices this time around. I had been considering just switching to Japanese voice over, but I'm really enjoying the English version so far.

Heard mixed reviews of the new English voice actors. Not sure who they are yet not tried the English version in ages since I found the ARR ones flat and emotionless like they just didn't give a damn. The Japanese cast has some well known people in it but the English subs are for the English language version so unless you understand Japanese you are not really understanding what's being said which is a shame because some jokes and traits characters have don't get translated.

Wow this is interesting. I did not like the English Voice Acting of 2.0 and just like I do with anime.. I set it to Japanese audio with English subtitles. But this is not anime.. I want to enjoy the visuals while listening instead of fixing my eyes down at the subtitles.

This is good news. Will switch to English to check it out! Thank you for bringing it to my attentnion.

Merlwyb's voice is really not my cup of tea.
