English VA Work - Please keep it AAA

[JimCasey_RF6]

It's safe to say that there is a lot of collective frustration regarding the English VA work in Dawntrail. Many players have had their main scenario quest experience negatively impacted by poor quality English voice acting from certain characters.

Please do not allow this to happen again in the future. It is crucial that all VA work put into the game is of quality. We have come to expect a higher standard than what was delivered in Dawntrail.

And keep to the stellar British VAs and studio that were used in previous expansions, instead of settling for an American studio and its VAs who are normally stuck doing subpar anime dubs.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Honestly, not just JP dub, but French And German were really lovely this time. I always do JP dub on my first play through. Then English on my NG+ run. But this time I skipped the EN dub (and well... doing NG+ at all)... I saw some snippets of French and German through watching streamers/ YouTube. The VA work for high emotional areas were much better than EN this time. Even though I don't understand those two languages overly well, I could close my eyes and just listen. Their acting was enough to tell me what was happening in these scenes and how I should feel about it.

I also feel as though the acting in EN was inconsistent compared to the other languages. It wasn't just high emotional areas affected, but even casual speaking. While one actor seemed to know what tone to use, another didn't. And they were in the same scene! It's as if they don't communicate with one another, and it's really off-putting. I understand due to various circumstance they can't always be in the studio together, but they should at least have referencing / videos of the other actors to look back on and a director... well directing. The other language VAs aren't perfect. They get these wrong too sometimes, including directors. But EN typically has the most inconsistencies.

I liked you better when you weren't so snarky.

Kozh answered a question I posted to the OP as if I had personally asked them, and then added the passive aggressive "next question", so I asked the next question "who are you".

What happened to you?
