Lip Sync Issues?

[jrgibson90]

Is it just me or does this game have audio sync issues, i noticed this in the opening scene of the game (playing in English language) and its damn near like watching one of those old school Chinese karate movies where a character would speak, but by the time the lines finished speaking, the character was still moving their lips. Is anyone else having that issue....or is this one of those rare situations where the english dub is out of sync and i should just play with the japanese language.

I'm pretty sure that changing languages does nothing to the animations, so Old School Chinese Karate dub it is if you pick the English dub.

Playing in Japanese, the mouth movement is definitely made for that.

That being said, the Mana games aren't marvels in that regard, but the instances with closeup high quality cutscenes definitely use Japanese mouth movement.

Still, sometimes, even those are off, mainly with low priority cutscenes where you wouldnt look at the mouth anyway.

Yeah, not long after posting this i decided to test my theory and played it japanese....and low and behold the mouth movement was perfect when i played it using the japanese language. Looks like this game was made with the japanese language in mind

I mean, duh ? The real issue was playing a dub.
