English Version

[deathgirlkira]

Does anyone know if this game is going to get an English voice cast? For the price they are charging you should have an option to switch.

it's not feasible for this game to have dubs on this game's budget

I never seen an SAO game with English Voice cast, and price tag has nothing to do with it.
$60 is pretty standard for new game, and amount content in this game make sense for price. The DLC for future new content is place at $40... that not related to price of base game because it DLC content.

To add on to NightmareHollow's quote

Most Japanese games are done on a budget. It up to the Producer's kindness and profit for marketers of the game to even add an English Voicing casting option. By no means I'm joking; these developers only care about the Japanese audience and small kindness, giving us English Subtitles. It also the fact it wastes of money because they got paid some company with an English voice cast, and that will increase the price tag of the base game.

If look example Dragon Ball Z is very popular in America, and Marketers make English Voice casting option for that game because it profitable. It not same for SAO, so no English voice.

Japanese is better anyways. Watch the English dub for SAO anime for example and like most dubs its pretty awful because its not how they were originally intended to be. There are a very small amount of English dubs such as Dragon Ball Z that are actually decent but those are very rare.

In the reverse if you watch shows designed for English with Japanese dubs they would also mostly be pretty bad. Castlevania anime is an example of this actually because it was made in America so ofc the English version is the better one because it was designed with English in mind as the target audience.

Besides even if there was enough budget to do english voice casters, the publishers wouldnt want to use the money anyways because it would cost them more than they care to spend. They would rather keep that money.

actually i find SAOs dub under one of my acceptable dubs , not many others though , japanese voice actors do everything so much better too , theyre far better at bringing out the emotions in a characters voice to boot. But yeah the games never get an english dub and thats fine too , though i sorta wish wed see a bit more diversity with sacred arts imo XD (more options for enhance armaments as well considering they tailor made one just for the game , so to say they couldnt add more at some point would be silly imo , even if it ends up as small variations to current finishers , better than nothing ya know?)

Yuck. Its only slightly better than the fan joke abridged va to me.

If a game is made in another language than english you can't just always expect to have english voice acting.

That just how it be.
