thegirlruka Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Your loss. I don't really see the point of even playing if you're gonna do that. 999 didn't have voice acting but it was still a great experience (yotsuba best grill.) Hatoful Boyfriend too. As much as I disagree with his opinion about the voices (especially Mayushii--Hanakana is soooooooo much better than the voice in the dubbed anime) I can understand it. I'll mute the voices that I hate in dubbed games or even play a game with sound off if there's no option to mute voices.

I can't say I've ever muted a games voices before, but you have a point about 999 on the DS having none, and it still being a great game. I just don't know why you'd want to mute the Japanese voices in a Japanese visual novel. They will suit the characters far better than a dub ever would, and Mayushii is the perfect example. The English voice actor could never portray her in the way HanaKana does. Some characters just don't work in English. I'm not totally against dubs, and I can enjoy a good one, but definitely not for a game like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally against dubs, and I can enjoy a good one, but definitely not for a game like this. I play for the story, and when voices annoy me, the way many Japanese voice actors do, that ruins the experience of the story for me (as opposed to being able to imagine their dubbed voices when the J voices are turned off ). I can recognise Mayuri's J voice actress is better at portraying the character than the American actress is, since she's very much a "typical anime character". But more than anything else, the Japanese Kurisu and Suzuha lack all the sympathy and warmth that the American actors bring to the characters imo. But, like I said, it's down to preference, and I can appreciate that some (or most people) prefer the original Japanese, though I'd still have liked it if there had been a dub.

thegirlruka Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) I can't say I've ever muted a games voices before I am completely unable to stand Teddie's english voice. I had to mute it when playing P4AU and P4DAN. I'm also going to mute it when I eventually get to playing P4G. I've never heard his japanese voice, but I can't imagine it would be any worse than that. Without hyperbole, I felt physically ill every time I heard his english voice. I'm not completely against dubs either. I'm only against terrible dubs. If they have voice actors who actually know how to act then I'm more likely to listen to them. Edited November 1, 2016 by kuuhaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the biggest fan of his voice either, but I can't say I've ever felt physically ill listening to it. The Japanese voice really isn't much better, trust me. They are both pretty annoying to listen to, but I guess that's what they were going for. I don't know why, but they did. At least Morgana's voice from Persona 5 is nowhere near as bad. Not to the point of being physically ill, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrious Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm in the weird minority that likes English Dubs, including the Steins;Gate dub. There's a few good things that do English dubs amazing. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is god-tier, and so is Cowboy Bebop. Steins;Gate though? Atrocious. But, maybe that's because Okabe's Japanese voice actor is a god-tier voice actor himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steins;Gate though? Atrocious. But, maybe that's because Okabe's Japanese voice actor is a god-tier voice actor himself. Okabe's English voice is J. Michael Tatum who is arguably a famous and successful voice actor in his own right. Just to put my 2 cents in to this debate... I'm usually a subs fan but I found myself more drawn to the english dub of Steins;gate. The biggest issue I had with the Japanese voice acting was Daru's voice. I couldn't take him seriously. However... the "cool son-of-a-bitch" moment is lost on the english dub. That in itself is almost unforgivable. Again, while I usually prefer subs above all else Steins;gate is an exception in that it could go either way. It's one of those rare instances where both dub and sub are nearly equal. I have to say that those who vastly prefer the sub to the dub are in a more favorable position in that they can play the game without qualms and watch Steins;gate 0 as it airs. Perhaps I'm strange in that I enjoy both. Side note: I haven't listened to the english cast of Persona 5 yet and I am scared shitless that Morgana will be as annoying as Teddie's voice. Here's hoping she lives up to her cuteness. I kinda wish we could have an animal pal like Koromaru instead.

Satoshi Ookami Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Damn, how could I miss my favorite topic :/ Are you crazy? After finally removing a story block I want to find out what happens next. In case of VLR, nope, it's not a crazy idea. Hearing the proper voices makes it harder to attach to the characters? Wut? Apparently hearing Japanese character speaking their language is the weird one, lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAveryChu Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Okabe's Japanese voice seems infinitely much subdued, whereas the English voice tends to be much more expressive which I certainly prefer.

crimsonidol38 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Screw you Ricedigital. Still no shipping notification and I see that Amazon Germany has the game on stock already. One shop also started selling it a week ago. EDIT: Once again, complaining helps. Just got an e-mail that the game was shipped. Still I have to hope that the delivery will work as I see that they mixed up the address a bit. >_< Edited November 23, 2016 by Crimson Idol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Apparently my order is still processing. I hope it doesn't arrive too late as it's a game I've really been looking forward too. I'm kinda worried as I've heard Ricedigital have pretty awful customer service and I'd rather not have to contact them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had to contact the customer service once as I was moving and the shop doesn't allow you to the change the address but I thought it was okay. But I only ordered there three times.

Undead Wolf Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Well it looks like my complaining paid off as I just got an email telling me it has been dispatched. That's a relief! I only had to contact the customer service once as I was moving and the shop doesn't allow you to the change the address but I thought it was okay. But I only ordered there three times. My DPD-tracking says that my copy will arrive by Monday. I heard about someone on this site not getting their collector's edition for a game weeks after launch with no explanation from them. Also, apparently if you cancel your order with them too many times, they ban you. I've not had a bad experience with them personally, but this is only the second time I've ordered something from them.

Rollers23 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Mine shipped a week ago and it's still not there. Agghhhh, screw those international packages, they sometimes take way too long. I'll probably need to wait until next week. Oh well, at least the price was a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet is a free place where everybody can write what they want and this shows how often that's more a bad than a good thing. Plus i suppose that this guy gave 5 to Mayo too then....
