Nothing. I hate how Japan thinks all black people sound like that. As much as I hate Kotaku and their left wing pandering, they were on point this time and concluded as much as well.

I'm just glad Japanese don't give a shit about complaining like this. Barret sounds fine. Would it be better if he had a softer voice, but spoke in ebonics?

Well of course he doesn't sound "bad". But when I hear him talk, it just sounds off. Barret is a big dude, but he's not a cave troll or anything. Michael J White is about as tall as Barret and his voice isn't anywhere NEAR that deep and raspy.

But you're right, Japan doesn't need to bend over backwards to get Barrets voice to please everyone.

Oh ffs, Barret is modelled after Mr. T. Lol it's fine, nothing is wrong with it.

This is the complaint for the trailer? Barrett's voice? Sad times. There will be DLC/pre-order stuff and microtransaction, 3 games where there should be one and the wrong gameplay but sure "Barrett doesn't speak right."

Something to lighten the mood, I didn't realise Jessie was a girl until like my 3rd playthrough.



Hmm, pie.

It might be worse... apparently on ResetEra (surprise!) some people are complaining he isn´t 'black enough'.

As in skin color? Or do they actually want him to talk Ebonics?

Skin color. Someone even claimed he looks like a germanic tanned dude (WTF?).



 

 

 

 

 

His voice is fine.

Not black enough? Lol... All inclusive reset era at their finest.

Not to mention he needs to have curly hair as well for them, even though Final Fantasy races never actually corresponded to reality (since most characters are a mix of asian + european traits, like some uralic or siberian peoples).

Maybe Jax should go back in time to 1997 and tell square to get woke
