Nicole and Jecka sound a bit similar, why not have them open their mouths?

[TheMAM]

^ Basically this. No offence but they sound kinda similar and I have trouble differentiating their lines. The game would flow much better if they would open their mouths when they talk. Isn't that what most sims do?

Edit: And now more girls are showing up who don't open their mouths. This's getting ridiculous.

maybe its your computer lad. No wait you haven't played any other games with these voice actresses so you don't recognise their voice. Blondie/ Keqing from Genshin Impact and other games I play. I'm buying it because of the Humour WE NEVER can use it in today's world especially since some of us need to act professional.

I'm not harping on the voice actors, I should have made that clearer. My point is that all the girls are doing the same type of stereotypical high-schooler accent voices, so when one speaks, all I have to know who's talking is their names which I have to memorize. When they talk, they don't open their mouths most of the time unless they're surprised/disgusted/etc.

On top of this, this VN has voice acting that progresses the text automatically after they speak, so I won't even have time to process who it was that's speaking fast enough. Is it really so much to ask that the girls open their mouths when their dialogue is due, it really shouldn't be an issue in the first place. I really don't see the point of not doing this, it only causes confusion.

I kind of agree. Either do that or make their names on top of the speech box a different color

This is more of a cultural barrier than anything. People who regularly converse with socialized American women don't struggle with telling them apart. Like how Europeans can't distinguish between Boston and NYC accents.

That is not the problem here, I'm Canadian and English is my first language, I've watched English entertainment my whole life, and they make an effort to make them sound different. And even if they didn't, any time I saw US teenagers in media I never had to distinguish between them through sound alone cause they always open their mouths.

And even if the problem was me, you'd just be alienating everyone except select Americans who've talked to people like that. And that simple problem could have been alleviated with any sort of indication of who's talking, whether it be open mouths, or colored names as M3OW recommends.

I'm literally retarded as I only started learning to read when I was 13 years old. I don't speak correct english nor have an english accent. Yet I have never mistaken either of them as another person. I am not american, I am not of a native english speaking ethnicity. Please consider transgender surgery if you have weak hearing.

I wasn't even the one who brought this argument forward in the first place.
