Video Game Character Designs And Lots of Other Unrelated Things

[RemiusTA]

By the end of the game, Sazh, Hope and Lightning were my favorite characters. Although Lightning reminds me of Squall, minus the mid-game confession of his shitty emoness that made me like him in the first place. Or maybe Lightning did do that. I
don't remember, because i forgot most of the stuff about that game.

Fang is hot and i dont have too many issues with her.

Vanille...ugh, 1) her accent is inconsistant as fuck, 2) they went WAYYYY overboard with that whole cutesy act, it's ridiculous at times, especially after the story progresses and you learn more about her, and 3) around midgame when everything gets SUPER srs busns, her voice clips go from entertaining to....well, i have to keep the game turned down because she has bad female VA syndrome.

I.E. all her voice clips sounded like she was humping somebody

Get back on topic!!!

Didn't mass effect , which is by bioware, come with cutscenes and dialogue choice?

/Still laughing at desperation to get back on topic

And PSO2 DOES have voice acting, if you haven't noticed the helicopter NPC yelling random relevant things.

Or was that my imagination...

[yoshiblue]

There was music. That's all I heard.

[NoiseHERO]

I think it was during one of the gameplay leaks...? Or Sakai's presentation... Hmm...

[RemiusTA]

Yes it has voice acting already.

No, i dont want ANYBODY to talk, or even mutter a phrase in English. The only PSU iteration with good voice acting was PSU v1 before the voices. The moment the voices came, i had to literally change my force's voice because it was pissing me off.

NPCs, sure. My characters? No. I hate bad localization more than anything. Sega will translate their games wonderfully, but hire the most shitty voice actors on the god damn planet.

Just look at Sonic the Hedgehog after SA2. That whole cast was shitty.


The fact is, over here it's just super cheesy to mutter a dumb phrase after every attack. Works in japanese, doesn't work in english at all. The only game to ever get it right was Devil May Cry, because Dante/Nero has voice actors that are not trash. (that game is perma-english anyway, there ARE no japanese VAs for DMC.)

Square Enix usually does a great job with their voice hiring. They should take cues from them.

Reminds me of the people who complain about sonic's VA. Then they change it and people either complain about that one or complain about how others hated the previous one. Were as japan only had one or two VA's for sonic.

Yeah...

Welcome to hell folks.
