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'. |
Some do actually... because it fits the character. Like the afore mentioned Okuni. Some characters are actually just supposed to talk weird.
