when the japanese are doing localization for a western game in japan they showed respect towards that work by doing a good job.
that voice acting sounds really good =)
when western is supposed to do localizations for japanese games they can be either good or show how much lack of respect they have for other peoples work by doing a crappy job.
What ? Japanese respect the western game ? The japanese have awful prejudice for western and they got a word to describe and discriminate western game.
Haha, looks like this is not really KAWAII NO DESU! Awesome, where did you found that?!
they are talking about retail
the japanese audience is also prejudiced against western games
u didnt get what i said did u?
i said people who WORK on localizationtake pride in their work and do a good job (thats respectful towards the western company that made the game, so they dont have a joke of a japanese version on the market). thats the way i see it.
also a lot of western "professional" voice actors who dont seem to know what they are doing or just dont understand the market they are working in, some japanese games english voice overs sound like the crappy voice overs from cartoons i'd watch when i was 4 or 5. thats just lousy work.
Do you have any proof of sources? That's your opinion and guess.
For the voices, japanese one are bad IMO. I prefer cartoon english voices to screaming little japanese boys. They just scream. Like I said, you lived in a place where you talk english and ear english all the time. When you ear japanese, you can't ear the voices defaults because you can't speak japanese. Or maybe you are from the bunch of people who learned japanese to play games and watch anime O.o I hope not.
i didnt learn japanese. my vocabulary is limited to a couple of words and expressions, havent watched anime since my teens ( feeling old now)
i do like to watch japanese movies (shinobi, battle royale, ichi, etc) and jdramas. japanese actors and voice actors are good and tend to be perfectionists.
though there are good western voice actors, they are a rare species, but i do apreciate and enjoy it when its a work well done and adds value to the game.
and I'm Portuguese.
i appreciate music and movies and entertainment in lots of languages, i dont need to understand the language to see when acting is half assed, you need to just be a bit familiar with the culture itself. that comes from observing.
If you can determine a good acting voice from a bad one (even if you don't understand the language) by looking at someone's life style, your damn good mah boi !
Sequel I want the most :
