will they dub the game at all

[billyhatcher643]

id like it if they dubbed the game cause idea factory has dubbed alot of other games in the past and since the anime show is also dubbed they could use thoes voice actors for the game

i prefer english over japanese and most of them all sound the same to me the japanese actors

It's a niche game & Idea Factory is NOT a large company to take chances on a game that's not going to sell as big as other companies that bring out games of this nature so my answer is no - I don't see a dub coming at all anytime for this game.

still theyve dubbed alot of games in the past

I think they largely just dub the Neptunia series. The early games wasn't even done by IFFY in the first place, namely the Re;birth series. Those were done by NISA at the time they had the license. Well.. I know this to be true for 1 and maybe 2, but not sure of any a little beyond that. Anything else though, IFFY paid a studio for the dub most likely after that.

so did they keep the same voice actors for the games or change them after they left nisa

[TwinShadow]

I think they're the same for now, not sure. I'm really not a fan of the dub cast for Neptunia games and prefer the JP actors instead really on that one.

[DiaCrusher]

If they didn't at the start of western release, they wont ever.IF was never big on dub anyway, and the quality of dub has been dropping, i mean i heard there was a lot of unvoiced lines in dragon star varnir for example, wouldn't know as i use original voices in games.

[billyhatcher643]

if idea factory can dub the neptunia series then why not this game cause they have alot of money if they can dub every neptunia game

[TwinShadow]

That's because Neptunia is their biggest IP. But it is far from their only game series they do. Their other series is the Genkai Tokki franchise that I believe they mostly just publish to some extent.

It's not that they have a lot of money to spend, it's more of does it make sense, business-wise, to dub a particular series of games or not. There are a lot of factors that goes into the decision process on whether or not to dub a game. Hiring a studio and paying the voice actors is a lot more money than one thinks, because companies have to go through the agency to work out a contract, cost, time, schedule, etc...

I wouldn't know off hand for Azur Lane itself, but I have watched some anime before, I think it was a Funimation one, but I don't recall. One I recall though was Little Busters where the English VA did sound a bit forced of an accent for Noumi. Though, that one was a Sentai Filmworks license.

I'll ask one of my friends about it, because I think he'll remember more than I would about certain dubbed anime with forced accents that sound unnatural. Kinda why I would prefer the Japanese VA than English sometimes as they don't try to force an accent on characters like some English VA will.

Dub watcher here. Most (not all, but most) of the voices in the AL dub are accented based on the respective ship's IRL country of origin. For example, Prinz Eugen and Z23 are both German ships, hence they sound German in the anime.

I believe I can count the number of IFI employees with both of my hands.

And let's honest: even if they DID dub it, we probably wouldn't hear the girls speak during cutscenes or our secretaries talk to us. (In other words it would barely be voiced at all.)

And when DAL was localized.....look, I prefer dubs myself where possible, but I wasn't expecting that to be dubbed, due to both the sheer scale of voicework and what you said.

Yeah, coming from Fairy Fencer and Neptunia it's a little sad to find only Japanese VA in this title.

I think they might have made this game a bit more budget than their usual titles, probably expecting less sales :/.
