This game is 100% using A.I Voices..

[Jayconius]

Just going by the first guy in the Tutorial, there is no way a person speaking perfectly crisp English would sound so Robotic and Emotionless and I've noticed several grammatical errors which are spoken exactly the same as the Subtitles..


I'm 99% sure EDF 4.1 and 5 didn't use A.I voices, or it was so damn good I didn't notice..

[Kain]

Ooof, I hope you're wrong.

Yeah. EDF 4.1/2025 and 5 were VA'd by EXSEED, the same folks who did localization for the first three Trails in the Sky games.

This is why as a Voice Actor you make sure your Voice can't be used for Voice Training in your contract.
At least 2 Characters sound like some of the Soliders and Sargent from previous EDFs..

No it is not, the Prof has a real reason why he is massively depressed and dead inside.

Remember the game start in a legit Apocalypse, having everyone sound excited and alive don't fit.

If this game used AI to voice characters I feel it would be facing a much larger backlash.

not ai, you'll see why he talks like that as you play

If this was the case they would have to declare it to steam and have it listed as being used on their store page.

Using text to speech software is something different and probably what many games use instead.

We'll see before long, I'm sure, but I'm REALLY hoping they didn't actually use AI to voice the characters. That would... NOT be good, especially in this age.

[DaxiraxJr]

Really don't care. It's weird how little I care if they are a.i.

[Zogtar]

It's not AI. Like, the translation is "for great justice!" levels of bad, but it's not AI.

While I seriously doubt AI was used, the publisher's awareness of what needs to be disclosed on the store page thus far does raise concerns.

Not really. I mean, if you're having fun with the game and that's all that truly matters to you, then power to you. There's nothing wrong with only caring how a game plays. :)

The opening voice acting is exceedingly bad, but it has been getting noticeably better past that. Still, starting at 0 and going to 3 is indeed a huge improvement. I can only wonder who was telling the VAs to do it that way. It's pretty awful.

All I know is the voice acting was sure as hell not done by EXSEED, which seriously sucks. I loved their voice acting for the EDF games... :<

[Kain]

I care, but it's also up to voice actors to have better contracts, forbid companies to use samples of your voice from previous games and so on.

The tech exists, so that's it, not much you can do other than regulate it.
