bad voice acting

[»Bongoღ™]

I HAVE A HOT TAKE
when Gustave dies and you get Verso in his place he starts speaking with FF16 Clive's voice.
This should never be accepted and that single thing threw me off the game for another 3 days. I just can't handle this after playing FF16 for ~60 hours.

Imagine watching Mr.Robot and then you see Rami Malek anywhere else?
HE ALWAYS WILL BE PORTRAYED AS THAT NERDY ELIOTT ANDERSON and he should never get another big role anywhere after 1 big hit. There is enough good voice actors and actors that need jobs and reusing the same asset is so pathetic.

so the voice acting is bad because you recognized his voice. also maybe add a spoiler tag.

First of all you're just upset they casted Clive as Verso, that does not make it bad voice acting. Second of all, the game is still new to most people and you have a major plot spoiler in the second sentence of your post. Use the spoiler formatting tags at least. Not cool.

Edit: this person doesn't even own the game on Steam. Why am I not surprised.

... So you're saying you can only ever watch ONE performance by an actor?

That must be stifling.

The entitlement to criticize when you're mailing it in on things as simple as spoiler tags.

Why would you start this post like that without any spoiler warnings?

And another for the block list. That's over 30 from this forum.

Intentional. Multiple dumbasses have made posts like this to try and spoil people.

This guy is 100% correct. They could just replace the whole voice acting crew with AI clones of their voices. Also the game is very poorly optimized, on my mid range PC it runs in 40FPS (i have a gtx 970) I can't even try to play the game without frame gen and playing in 720p. The idea seems good but it's very badly executed. Hope they learn from their mistakes and create a better game next time (or not) :).

Absolutely! I would rather have AI Voice Acting than hearing Clive in another game. This isn't Fortnite or something. He shouldn't be there...

You need to put a "spoiler alert" in your title.

Brother this post needs a spoiler warning or an edit.

lol if you think Verso is a problem, wait until you realize Maelle is literally Shadowheart but shorter and a redhead.

The voice actress did not even try to slightly alter her voice or intonation for a completely different role.

People who say actors can't have different voices for different roles are lemmings.

Try listening to Christian Bale. Multiple accents, and his own native English accent you haven't even seen in most of his performances.

Even Meryl Streep or Margo Martindale put on different accents and intonations even if their voice range is similar to each role.


I somehow think the voice direction almost did it on purpose, if you look at Maelle's later game hair color choice.
