Someone needs to tell Bandai to fix their dubs

[Gundamnit]

That new pre-order trailer is horrendous to listen to. All I can hear is scripted enthusiasm that REALLY sounds disingenuous. Not to mention they couldn't balance the background sounds appropriately, so the music behind his narration is super muted for most of it.
Think I could hear a couple of mic pops in there too. Not the best foot to put forward for the game.

i dont know what trailer your talking about but Dubbed trailers for games are almost always trash like they all kinda sound like the person narrating it is high on some kind of drug

The newest one, first one on the GB4 store page. Seems relatively new, don't remember it being there in the last few weeks. I agree, they're usually awful nowadays, but I can recall years ago when television promos were running for various Gundam series. They were keyed-in to their target demographics, they had proper pacing & charisma, and they didn't repeat the same thing four times to get a single point across. This nearly 5-minute trailer is a disservice, and a terrible view of what's to come. Assuming there IS an eng dub for some of the game, unlike the previous games released in the last decade, if this is an indication of the quality I'd rather stick to subtitles.

Fair and i dont think it indicates quality but to be honest if the dub is bad
Nothing is stopping us from just playing subbed and maybe if enough people complain the game would be redubbed

Given the support for previous titles, I doubt they'd ever consider redubbing. If that were the case, they'd properly support GBO2 with dubbed callouts (as that's the cash cow atm) or have included the option in that last SD game.

GB4 has the og dev team back to work on it and unlike what some people believe they didnt work on NGB They where on GBM while a side team made NGB and the og devs are not going to let bandai ♥♥♥♥ this up
if they now the community wants a redub they'd probably beat bandais ass until it was allowed
these devs care about the fans unlike GBO2 and the SD Gundam Devs probably wherent as confident in fighting for more time and better stuff

I usually don't take much stock in voice acting in trailers, since the brunt of voice acting in games like these is some combination of conversational/exposition dialogue and combat lines (and Breaker has silent protagonists, so less on that front). I'd wait for some sort of character/cast trailer before judging the English VO, since that would likely show lines that will appear in-game (and we technically don't know if the trailer narrator will show up as a character in-game, though my pet theory is that he's the English voice for Mr. Gunpla). Even then, I'd probably still stick with English, since I like English as a language, and I don't understand Japanese beyond a few recurring phrases. Plato's cave, and all that.

Also, to dub BA, they'd need to voice a good chunk of EXVS' cast (since they used archived lines for most of the non-original characters), so it's a much taller order to dub compared to a Breaker game, which only has original characters (and way less of them). Not to mention BA has a lot of voiced dialogue relative to its length (there's even bonus convos/summaries in the gallery).

If you're playing/watching dubs, you deserve it.

I'm lowkey hoping the dubs will be EDF levels of corny and memeworthy because of the complaints. xD

Stal, im going back quite few days... about your Bandai/OG Team.

Crafts and Miester or whatever are the DEVS for NGB and GB4.

Bandai is the publisher..... thats not reassuring.
im still getting it, regardless... its just a little concerning.
