How's the English voice-over???

[MadAsAHatter]

I very close to buying because gameplay looks awesome, but the voice-overs in the other games of the series are absolutely abysmal. So bad it completely killed the atmosphere. Is it at least decent in this game?

I played only the demo but if its any sign:
Its abit rough, the voices themselves are not bad but the delivery could use a rekate or two, they sometimes stop mid sentence as if they had to flip to the next page or something.
The in-battle dialog seems fine altough in typical Mosou fashion alot is going on at once.

I would like a compilation of those voice overs stopping mid sentences lol. It would be funny to see.

it's much better then DW9

This is really bugging me. Even AI can deliver more natural performances...

ugh awful man. i prefer dub over subs literally any day of the week but the english delivery is stiff and the lip sync is very much not EN. looks and sounds awful

[jeffers0329]

Still leagues above DW9's dub (which is an admittedly low bar to clear)

I've not gotten incredibly far into the story, but up until this point it's a mixed bag, especially if you're a big fan of the DW8 cast.

Broadly speaking, the most important characters sound good. A vast majority of the side characters are great choices in terms of casting, but some deliveries leave you wondering why they didn't do another take.

Sometimes there are odd pauses in the line readings. It feels like the localizers couldn't quite figure out how to structure the dialogue in English to match the pauses in the original Japanese performance. It'll sound like characters forgot what they were going to say mid sentence, which is suboptimal to say the least.

The only voice actor I'm not a huge fan of is Xiahou Yuan's. I just don't feel like the performance fits that specific character.

It's not terrible, but it's not great either.

It's relatively average, there's a lot of moments where there's awkward pauses mid sentence and some characters do not sound like you'd think (xiahou yuan and zhang fei come to mind).

Basically, they're fine and it doesn't really detract from the story or gameplay as much as you'd think, but it's noticeable.

+1. Agree with most comments here. Some of the English VAs are fantastic... and some are pretty mid at best. It's a real mixed bag. As outlined above, Xiahou Yuan is especially poor, but I am also not a fan of Guan Yu and a few others.

The way some of the actors read their lines with random pauses through sentences is pretty jarring though, as is the lip sync.

I've tried JP, which IMO generally sounds great, but sometimes I miss updates in battle that way - and it bothers me that due to the different ways JP and China read Kanji that they just obviously say some officers names totally differently. Time to try Chinese I guess.

Its pretty bad, its not bottom of the barrel like DW9's, but then again, DW9's was the worst of the fanchise got, and thats counting DW2.

Just go with the JP dub, as one would go with all Musou games.

[BigPhil0005]

I think the voices are fine, the lip-sync kinda throws me off as always with these games

[RaTcHeT302]

i just play it in japanese, its not even funny bad like in the ps2 ones

No it is not, NOT even close. DW9 was bad but this is much much worse in every category.

You seem to be having a really bad habit of not proving your points and just hating on something for the fact of hating on it. When (by a miracle) you do provide some points, we've proven to you how and why you are wrong and then you go radio silent on that specific post and invade others

Id' say just leave the forum at this point and go play some DW9 since you don't seem to be adding to the conversation on any of these posts going around
