Voice Acting in HW. I forgot...

[Colorful]

I don't know how anyone could feel that the old Alphinaud is better than the new one, probably the worst voice acting I've heard in the game. New one though? Does a decent job, nothing special, but it doesn't sound unpleasant to the ears. Overall though, the voice acting in English is quite terrible, can't speak for Japanese as I don't understand the language, but it "sounds" better.

I think the reason why Japanese sounds better -- if I understood you correctly -- is precisely because you don't understand it. I noticed this myself when I was watching the Anime Bleach back when it was new and had not yet been dubbed in English. By episode 5 or 10, my subconsciousness started playing the characters' lines back to me in English. I was hearing Japanese, but I was reading English, and my imagination took over. By episode 20+ my subconsciousness grew louder; the characters were practically speaking English, even though I still heard Japanese. It wasn't the Japanese voice overs as much as it was my imagination that made the Japanese sound so good.

Your imagination is limitless. You can make the characters you hear as intense or shallow as you want.
