why do people prefer original Japanese VA's when:

A. you don't understand them

B. They also sound crappy if your a japanese person....please I hope your not under the illusion FF13's JP VA's are of movie/extremely high quality.....


But they are high quality. Japanese cast is A-class cast (Most of voice actors are from famous anime series.) Japanese dub is made with big budget. English cast is usually made with smaller budget and cast is pretty unknown... I don't say that always bad but usually yes. (at least to my ears)


If English VA had bigger budget who do you would want to play the parts ?

Lightning - Julia Roberts

Hope - Freddie Highmore

Szah - Jamie Foxx

Vanille - Anne Hathaway

Serah - Mia Wasikowska

Snow - Matt Damon

Yagg Rosch - Tom Cruise

 


Now you are exaggerating. That is just a fact that JRPG developers put more money in Japanese cast. Situation is especially bad with these little smaller budget JRPG games (Star Ocean IV english dub is just so horrible). Luckily FF games are big budget games ( and sell in the west)so they invest also to english cast. Still it would be nice to also have Japanese dub in PS3 version of FFXIII. Then people could decide which one to pick.
