| Kenryoku_Maxis said: The idea that Dubbed voice actors 'intentionally' act bad is just....wow. Come on people. Voice Acting for games has always been treated as badly as voice acting for Anime. Its done as quickly and cheaply as possible because they know people will buy the game regardless of how the voices sound. The very fact that games like this and FFX sold so many copies is proof of that. They don't even need to have good voice acting for dubs in the first place, as the whole purpose for dubbing is replacing the original voices for a specific group of people who can't tolerate listening to Japanese voices. These people are already closing their minds to the option of checking out the original voices, so its pretty safe to say they could have Brittany Spears and Keanu Reeves doing the voices and these people would still think they were 'superior' just because they were in 'English'. |
The voice cast in Final Fantasy XII would argue against that point for originally-Japanese casts, and every game ever put out by Black Isle Studios/Obsidian Entertainment and BioWare would argue against that point on behalf of Western games. Hell, there are hundreds of games that have excellent voice work. What kind of thing to say is this?
