JP voices or US Voices?

[ashley50]

whenever i hear JP PSU Video battle voices on Youtube...I find how LAME/boring the US battle voices are...(this must be a typical Otaku-ness syndrome from all the animes I've watched >.>)

if I'm going to compare the Voices between the two...I'd choose the JP voices anytime. (some people might find the JP voices annoying but it's much better and "cuter" and at least they say something more "Intelligent" ).
Like when a Caseal summons a SUV

are the US/EU players also have the same thoughts on it? or it's ok?

I wanted the ability to choose japanese voices... Fish girls sound so much more exotic when they have an exotic voice.

JP voices are so much better. They all actually have character. They say stuff. (What I have no idea. I don't speak Japanese. >.>

Each JP voice says different things, have different personalities almost. Ours are all pretty much the same thing, just sounds different.

I wish we could record our own voices for sound effects. I'd love to hear myself yell "Yaah~!" while attacking. n_n

I'll bet most of the recorded Kias would sound like kitty whispers.

Our grunts are fucking awesome, and the JP voices are pretty damn annoying. I got tired of my AoI beta character blabbering some incomprehensible nonsense every time I cast Diga after about an hour. I'd much rather hear maniacal laughter.

The US voices also happen to be the EU voices. Somehow I doubt a German or French player would appreciate their character belting out English phrases, I think.

In either case though, I don't think the very act of yelling out all those various phrases really translates very well to a Western audience. It comes off as campy more than anything else.

One thing that does bother me though a little is how the US/JP voices are actually mapped over each other, though. I think Shim had a topic in Gameplay about that...

As much as I think listening to my character yell 'Die!' or 'This ends here!' (or whatever crazy crap they'd say if they said stuff) would get irritating, the current US voices with their screams and grunts are nearly as bad.

Solution: Play a ranger.

Actually all my chars have too-deep voices. I made sure it sounded good in the US ver as that's what everyone hears, but I prefer voice 5 US to any of the JP voices. Saying stuff at SUV/nano is fun, saying stuff when casting, not so but I sorta blank it out with my force. All three of my male chars have voice 5 US, but they have voice 7 or 8 JP which is what I hear, it's too low for my liking but I live with it. When AoI is out I suspect it may come out on 360 in the west first, I'll import that version and play my chars with the voice I want them to have (voice 5 ftw).

However, I don't like how voice 5 grunts while casting either. So maybe I would still play my force with the japanese voice. I have a choice, it just means having to buy 2 copies of the damn game.
