its a good day to be a weeb. Japanese Voice acting is awesome as always

[PercibelTheren]

I personally don't care for the anime-like overacting that I've seen in the JP voiceover. I will say the English voices in DT are weird, though.

I know people love to single out Wuk Lamat but she's hardly the only one with problems. Thancred sounds so raspy/breathy in his first line that I genuinely thought the VA was going for him being older and gruffer at first, until he spoke normally again later. Y'Shtola sounds like she's on the other side of the room from where the mic is placed. Multiple characters were clearly not given context for their lines, especially Alphinaud. Raha has sounded off to me since the Endwalker patches, like he's sick of being the WoL's biggest fanboy. Krile goes from sounding like she's full of energy but gentle to completely flat and emotionless for no apparent reason. I swear the only VA who delivered a consistently good performance this time around was Erenville. With him, what I question is the fact that he has a very strong (I assume) Icelandic accent but the people who come from the same area he does do not. He sounds like the Viera from the First, which I find extremely weird. I quite liked their choice of making all Viera have an accent like this but it seems it has been completely forgotten in DT.

The mix is off and I swear the sound engineers just didn't come to work when DT was being made. I have no clue what the voice director was thinking with the delivery of some of those lines. Maybe they have changed recording studios or something? It irks me because I have been shown in previous expansions that they can do better, so I was quite shocked when what I received this time around harkens back to ARR. It's serviceable but a noticeable downgrade.
