[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Volgia]

It's called feedback, as long as the manners are correct don't find the need to call now wrong for having their thoughts now lol

Bro the feedback was literally "Why did they hire an american when everyone is based on the UK". I assume they hired her because she sounds hispanic or latina. I don't care how "polite" anyone's being about this I don't like where the conversation is headed.

I didn't think anything was wrong with her voice when I was watching the cutscenes and I wouldn't have guessed people were going to complain about it here.

Since the game's japanese I would like the other languages to follow the same practices; if you use a woman or a woman-sounding voice in japanese do the same in other languages.

Pretty much. Whenever Wuk Lamat talks normally and is just sharing information and having banal dialogue during a cutscene, the English VA is not offensively bad or anything. It's fine, still a completely different character that lacks the nuances of the JP voice acting, but it's whatever. But when there's a scene that requires exaggerated emotion, the English VA is REALLY bad imo. Like, really terrible, Wuk Lamat ends up sounding like a bad cartoon. No such issues with the JP voice acting though. She does a great job at delivering the emotion, comedy and intensity that the scenes require.

I actually disagree, I think she's the worst when it comes to calm exposition. It sounds to me that she's completely focused on maintaining the fake accent (which she doesn't manage -at all-) and performs the lines way too stiff as a result. The switch to the exaggerated cartoon voice is then even more jarring.

The VA is a woman, so she sounds like a woman.

Do all the VAs get this level of vitriol attention? Or just the one everyone knows is trans?

[Mecia]

I just cant unhear the deeper undertone in her voice like i said in the deleted thread. Like bad audio mixing but naturally.

I don't understand how this got okay'd by SE. I genuinely don't. Perhaps it's the corny dialogue that's the issue, but man, how can anyone defend this line delivery?

In other news, I felt like this was one of the worst lead ups to a new expansion we had. This is barely even a cliff hanger. If they were wanting to go for that relaxed Summer Vacation feeling, they definitely got it but honestly I'm not vibing with it. This feels like the exact same way we went to Sharlayan in the current expansion. "Wait for boat to be prepared and sail out". One quest, see a quick CS and you are in the new place. At this current rate, we're going to wait for a boat in 7.55 to go south.
