So, japanese lip syncing is bad right?

[naisu]

Didn't they fix this with the ps5 release? Did they port the ps4 version?

[Oh Hai Mark 420]

I think it doesn't work at all. It's clearly just the EN lip sync so far...

[NGHM𝐴RE]

Yeah, came here to see if any others had this issue. Mine is clearly the english lip sync. WTF?

[|Pipe Dreams]

Okay so I wasn't losing my mind. I'll just stick to English until its fixed.

Just play in English like you are meant to, Jin Sakai is not a real Japanese samurai he is American.

PS5 version didn't really fix the the japanese lipsync. It was better a slight improvement over the ps4.

the japanese lip sync is there besides in the intro, however it's not worth it imo. The facial animations in english look pretty believable and fit the character's voice acting, however the japanese lip sync makes the facial animations look robotic, there's not just worse lip sync but worse overall facial animations.

It is made even worse by the fact that the english voice for jin sakai speaks in a calm voice, so his face is always relaxed when he talks. The japanese version has him speaking like some badass samurai but his face moves even less than on the english version.

Basically the japanese voice actors express way more emotions than the english ones (which fits everyone besides jin) but the facial animations display way less emotions due to the (probably) ai generated japanese facial animations.

For example near the start, when the woman with jin is happy to learn about the position of the person they're searching for, she sounds excited which is subtly displayed in the english facial animations, but this is completely gone in the japanese version (less upper face movement) while the voice actor is even more excited than the english one.
