Lip-sync issue with English dubbing??

[Siralextraffo]

Alright, the issue I have is so insanely bad that I'm wondering if it's a bug or if I'm doing something terribly wrong.

Is it possible that there's no lip-sync at all? English language, there's not a single cutscene where the lip-sync matches what the characters are actually saying.

At first I thought that maybe the lips are "speaking" Japanese, but is that possible?? I mean, it's a damn FF game, one of the most known saga in the gaming history and we have lip-sync issues in 2018?

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong or screwed up something in the settings.

I usually only get lip-sync issues during the cutscenes that use the in-game models, and not every time.

Weird, I have issues with basically ever dialogue.

I remember one custscene when Cindy was telling Noct something and the lip-sync was perfect, I remember it because it was probably the first time I noticed the actual lip-sync!

Same issue in French. Sometimes lips does not move at all.

I noticed it too.
I think it sometimes matches by accedent, otherwise there's just no lip sync. I was a HUGE Fallout 3 nerd though, so flappy pupet lips don't bug me that much.

I'm playing with japanese audio and the lips match pretty much 100% of the time. Guess that's what's going on here.

Unbelievable.
This kind of issues were ok 10/15 years ago, but not really now...

The lipsync only works with Japanese voice acting.

Dammit, that's really bad.

why is it bad? are you seriously expecting them to code in all facial animations needed to lipsync all possible languages?

Uh, nope? Just the English one, I guess??
Since FFVII the "west" has always passed Japan sales, so one would expect to have at least Japanese and English languages fully implemented.

I'm Italian myself and I would never pretend to have the game not only dubbed but perfectly sync in my own language, but I think English should be a standard.

Japanase Audio. English Subs

I think this game was made in Square Enix Japan, not in the UK like some of their previous titles. If you don't mind, just use the JP voice acting + English dub. There's nothing we can do to change it.

Yea, I don't really like to read subs, I'll just stick to the English dub even if I can't change the voice acting language.

Too bad!
