But would it be any good? That's the real question. Japan has a very lackluster reputation when it comes to voice acting; especially the translations from Japanese to English. I'm sure the intended script is done more accurately in the original Japanese dialogue, but there's still that sense of overacting from the original script anyways. That's something Japan needs to get past already. I remember an article years ago from Toriyama stating (right after FF13 came out) that Japan prefers theatre based acting as opposed to Hollywood style. They're both pretty theatrical in my overall opinion, but Japan's is defintely more excessive.
I'm almost 100% positive this would work against Zelda, not for it. Text only dialogue for FF seemed to work only for it and never against it. FFX had some good spots here and there, but that's as good of voice acting that Squaresoft, not Square Enix however has ever acheived. |
@Bolded: I can get behind the part where you say the acting isn't as good when they localise the games, but japanese voice actors are very good at what they do and that's the reputation they have as well. xD
