this dog tier egirl english dub should be illegal to produce

Unfortunately seems to be a thing in both anime and jrpg's.

Not saying there aren't good english dubs once in a while, but for some reason the japanese VA's just seem to do a lot better job most of the time.

Budget plays a part but the reality is anime and jrpg Japanese voice acting are VERY dramatic. It's not how people actually speak the language... plus not everything can directly translate so scripts need altering.

So when you translate to English you get something cringe-inducing because they maintain the same over-dramatic style. Pair this cringe way of speaking with mediocre and altered scripts the word flow just isnt the same...especially trying to match animations designed around a different language.

Just the fact the language has a different structure vastly changes how one would animate a character or scene. English is Subject-Verb-Object. Japanese is Subject-Object-Verb
This difference alone can play a key part in timing and visual cues/displayed visual information.

If you ever watch french animation thats been dubbed, it flows better because we share a mostly similar sentence structure. The voice acting can better follow the animation because what you see and what you hear share a stronger correlation.

Thank you for the insight! Very informative. I'm actually enjoying the English dub of this game.

Supreme based.
And I agree.

More japanese game needs to cut the Eng dub.

[pkmis007]

play from start to epilogue without any problem from english dub. But learned in credit that Hirano Aya voiced Ochette make me wanna replay this in japanese.

[pasta]

the english dub in the demo is pretty fire so far. at least osvalds VA is really good imo.

[Venoum]

Uhhh....You can just turn on the Japanese language dude.

[Theos]

you can always turn japanese dub dude, no need to ♥♥♥♥ on en dub because there are people who use and enjoy it.

[Veszerin]

Dunce.

[Fulminero]

It's actually quite good, what drug are you on

[MeldinX2]

Stupid comment. Since it's not like they removed the Japanese dub. You are free to choose it if you want. Having more options is just objectivly better. And the english dub is acually very good this time around.

I find the English dub to be VERY good in this game... I just wish that the characters would interact with each other. It's kinda annoying to see my chosen main character just stay silent while the other characters are having their story moments.

Clown bait accepted.

Weebs never change. I remember this back in the freaking 90's with Dragonball Z.

Why would i want to play the game in Japanese. I am English. I speak English. Only English entertains me. I would not even buy the game if it did not have English.
