Yisus I can't understand the half of what that woman says with that crap Thou They Thy and more bs I'm pretty sure in Japanese the VA don't mess up with words like that is there anything I can do to make her speak normal?

[steven]

The EN VA are British and speak with some English / Scottish / Irish... whatever accent they have.
And the game is set in some feudal system with King, castles and churchs, so it's kind of logic they speak Old English

Damn at least they should give the choice to change that. I barely understand anything when she was saying the truth about the Prince and the MC.

Art what about that, are you talking about painting?

I known I'm biased on this being hearing impaired, but have you put on the subtitles to find out what's she's saying? This is just a suggestion so you can at least understand what's being said. I have a bad enough time hearing American speech half the time let alone accents, so it's almost mandatory for me.

Apparently Dominican so eh checks out that he wouldn't understand old English. Likely not part of the curriculum in their schools

Ouch, a school not teaching (normal) English, the international language.... It hurts.
Respect for learning (normal) English by yourself and f ppl saying "learn (normal and old) english" (Old / Ancient / Medieval english is not even taugh in school, except if you did medieval literature LOL)

Personaly i always put Subtitles ON in every game not translated to my mother tongue (basically 99% of the games i play are in English LOL), and i don't have any health problem / impairement.
Hearing native VA speaking with their mouth full of potatoes / wet paper or skipping some letters / using local words-expressions (Do you want a BAWL of WAHEUR / INNIT LOL) (Hello United Kingdom, Ireland, some American Country, Australia...), or non native VA trying to replicate an accent, is kinda hard sometimes without subtitles, even if you are not bad / good in English.

Use Subtitles...?

Try reading Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" in the original middle English for funsies and let us know how you do. Many native English speakers have to read it at some point. If not in high school, then in university. It's fun trying to translate words from your own language

You can bring up the history of everything that's been said and reread the whole thing at your own pace (had it bound to "B" by default on PC). Check dictionary if it helps. Might even learn a couple new words over time...it's how I learned English, too. Spent so much time staring in the dictionary...until I didn't ^^

In England, everybody studies medieval English, it's called Shakespeare. I hated it.
I always use subtitles for many reasons, mainly so I can watch something on the second monitor and still follow the story in game, but despite all that I do agree that her line choice is a little unusual, even in context of her character but then it's a fantasy world so who knows? It's not unusual for games made abroad to overuse certain parts of the English language, in particular Americans saying "ye olde" as "yee ol-dee" instead of "the old" which is how it's actually said. Yes, the y is pronounced as th, because it was originally a thorn not a y but it looks like a y and the thorn was removed and replaced with th.

I kind of figured. To break it down simply for you the terms roughly mean this:
Thou = you
Art = are
Thy = your
Those are the most commonly used words when games go for the Shakespearian old english dialects. Hope that helps you out some. Its not explicitly taught here in the USA either but it shows up in a lot of English classes since classic literature and poetry is common in our curriculum.
