Where's voice acting and the wii design?!

[robleyjackson270]

Why isn't there voice acting and why do they use the stupid ps1 designs! this is worse then sonic origins and this game needs a free update that adds the wii designs and english voice acting in both games as a option. removing english voice acting in klonoa phantasy reverie series is like changing the music in sonic 3 in origins.

Because the PS1 designs and fake language were the originals and better fit the game. It is supposed to look overly cutesy in order to make the darker twists in the later half of the game be more emphasized. That said, I would prefer the fake language lines to have been updated rather than using the bitcrushed PS1 audio. And I wouldn’t mind if they changed the designs for the citizens of Cress especially Huepow’s true form because god are those designs awful and almost ruin the emotional scenes.

This is nothing like the Sonic 3 music change issue, as that is because SEGA do not hold full rights to that music, due to the way it was handled back then, and now there is nothing they can do about it without getting into a huge legal mess.

You should watch how you frame your preferences and have some respect. The Phantomilian language and original designs are very much beloved and well executed. They're also, you know, the originals. This release clearly set out to be more faithful than the Wii remake, and being faithful to the original material is the exact opposite of the music situation Sonic Origins (which itself is really a copyright issue). If you don't like the original that's whatever, it's a personal matter.

And speaking personally, I wouldn't mind a Wii costume skin just for fun, though I find the design much less iconic. An additional english dub would be nice too, but should honestly be completely redone and recasted to be more in line with the Phantomilian performance. Which, considering the devs didn't even redo the base Phantomilian audio, they probably weren't allotted the time and budget for that to be possible.

Almost everyone hated the English voiceover, you're the only person I've seen that's upset by its removal. Klonoa's dub voice actor wasn't a good pick, not that it was his fault, plus a lot of the english voices felt unfitting and took away a ton of the charm. From the wiki:

"Fans have often criricized Eric Stitt for giving Klonoa the voice of a teenager. Eric Stitt later confirmed on Twitter that the voice was picked based on Klonoa's design and that he did not know what voice to give the character nor was he aware of Kumiko Wantanabe's voice for him."

But I guess having it as an option wouldn't hurt.

"stupid ps1 designs"

kind of a hot take but ok.. i guess i can respect someones opinion the wii version is more appealing to them. i dunno. i think the ps1 design is classic.

I think I just found the anti-me.

If you want the wii game, just play the wii game. The redesign and voice acting were broadly panned by the fandom, especially considering how adored Klonoa's original voice and the entire language of phantomilian/lunatean are (there are people dedicated to decoding it because it's an actual language developed for the game). Why shouldn't fans of the PS1 version get something to play that doesn't cost upwards of $300 to play in English? If you don't like certain aspects of a game, that's just going to be your opinion, but you have to at least recognize that a company interested in making money isn't going to abide by your (very) unpopular opinion, right?

Sit down.

isnt Wii the bad one?

[Noblesse☮Oblige]

The option to pick would be nice. I liked some of the redone voices but not all of them. Was kinda surprised it wasn't in the collection.

[Nepnep]

Nah. Fake languages are fun! Ripurudu all the way.

[Naoya]

Please no. Original design is WAY better, and the English dub made Klonoa (who is canonically 9 years old in that game) sound like a generic dude in his 20s.

Wait, the Wii had voice acting? Why? I like the idea that they're using made-up language like the Monster Hunter language.
