Some I liked, others were a little annoying, but ultimately I warmed up to all the other VA changes. Replacing him hurt the character a lot.Īll the other VA changes were just minor to me, including Alphinaud's. The only other notable change imo was Urianger, which was a terrible change. I never thought I'd miss his grating voice. The HW VA is the winner, of course, but they're both very good. The guy's a badass, with either voice actor. the new actress tries, but just doesn't match the original. Her new voice actress is much better.Ĭonversely, Merlwyb had a great voice actress in ARR, she acted out a strong, confident and dedicated woman very well. Suitable in some aspects, like when she's giving a speech to a crowd, but not so much when she'd just having a little chat with Merlwyb and Nanamo, for example. His voice acting, Urangier (Gideon Emery) and that of Merlwybs are definitely the. Tracy Ann Oberman is the English dub voice of Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, and Atsuko Tanaka is the Japanese voice. Every word she spoke, regardless of context, was like making a huge proclamation. Kann-E-Senna, as much as I like her, had a terrible voice actress in ARR. Hopefully nothing else like this follows. And after I looked up why Alphinaud sounds so bland now, it turns out that allot of people felt disconnected from the game because of the change.Īnyway, I've just started Heavensward, and I'm hoping to enjoy the experience.

I will still play this game, as will/do many others But allot of people became invested in certain characters, especially do to how real they sounded. Like the colossal stupidity of changing Alphinaud's voice actor, and a few others.īe it, that the rest were poor and didn't put any real drama into their acting, hence it falling flat in the first place But surely the people choosing this outcome had social awareness and could pick up on social cues enough to recognise that the distinction was dramatic effort, not the voice itself. Listened to one clip and shut it off.Įlidibus's voice in Japanese helped me figure out the "White Robed Ascian" glitch.I'm very disappointed in the laziness displayed to acquire new voice actors, give it that some are now better, but the issue being is you can tell they didn't check with the player-base before deciding.Įlse, why wouldn't they have just kept certain voice actors and removed/changed the rest. Then again quality is subjective and I mostly stick with what feels right and the VA I'm more invested in.Afraid to know what he sounds like in English >.< I guess big difference for me is.I'm bilingual so.I can listen to the better voices AND understand them.and cry when I see the dialogue changes in English >I basically wouldn't give up Lahabrea Aznable for an entirely Hollywood quality English cast. Urianger I think I loved mostly because the voice actor is the same as Lor'themar Theron, and he's doing the exact same voice for Urianger, but with ye olde speak to. Every line of her dialogue was written perfectly, always using maritime phrases. (big example for 3.2.when you're passing out to have the echo thing.In Japanese she says "Everything is your fault" but in english it was something like "Not now, not ever?" Like.what? Japanese holds much more weight). Merlwyb because she sounded so perfect the role of a pirate captain turned maritime nation leader. Nakata Jouji as the new Garlean Emperor.FUCK YES!!! Koyama Rikiya as Cid.Japanese Jack Bauer HELLS YEAH! KENN as Urianger.makes me never 100% hate the character. Tattsun as Aymeric though.A+ right there. Played both with Japanese and English text through this game and the English text was so.different? Weird? Took out essential terms and changed them for things that were just something else entirely? Like literally, a lot of the dialogue is different.

I am a seiyuu fan in general > And I think that the Japanese dialogue holds more meaning. (02-24-2016, 07:06 PM)Caspar Wrote: (02-24-2016, 07:04 PM)Ashe Wrote: Well.I have the Japanese voices (and text on my PS4.English text on my PC).and I am not changing >
