Voice acting so bad

[KeluBehemoth]

I have tried using the English voices on and off since HW released.

I just can't do it any more.

They're so terrible. None of the voices match the characters faces or personalities.

I hope they change in the next expansion.

I wish they used American voices or at least good English ones.

I do t understand why some people actually really like them.

It's at the point where I'm actually embarrassed to have audio enabled while people are around me because it sounds so bad

It's not even just that the voices themselves are so bad.

It's that they're horrible actors.

Everything sounds so forced and scripted.

None of the emotional scenes feel natural.

It's just absolute garbage and square should be ashamed for releasing it.

I would say the English dub is "meh" at best. Some of the characters IMO have good voices but the majority don't. What I really want to know though is why do they have to talk in a old English kind of way? I know they don't talk that way in the German dub. Not sure if they speak that way in the Japanese dub though.

They don't. This is just something done by he EN localization team.

I think the voice actors actually sound like the characters and IMO they're good at it ( though some are bad but there's always a few)

The only English voices I had issues with in Heavensward were Merlwyb and Urianger. Everyone else is decent.

Merlwyb's new voice is a travesty. It's so quiet and subduded. Where's the commanding power that you'd expect of a (former) pirate leader?

SEVEN HELLS!

If this is bad voice acting to you, you may be overly picky. There's nothing wrong with them.

That or you're one of those people who thinks japanese voice acting is always better than english voice acting.

Do not forget some of the voice actors are actually different in HW, not sure if the previous ones just were not happy or what, lol
