The voice-acting was okay I guess
I was wondering if I was the only one who thought so. <__< >__> <__<
I like what I've heard so far from the three
big actors but I was kind of meh about all the rest. :|
You were not. One thing that struck me was sound-levels - the voices sounded way too clear and crisp considering all the smoke and debris that was flying around in the environment.
And on that note, I also thought the delivery of most of the actors was just way too flat comparatively to what was going on around them.
I would expect some 300 level shouting from the characters based on the level of the action, but just got some "I'm kinda exerting myself..."-levels, and that was disappointing.
This is why I almost invariably prefer Japanese voice acting in Japanese productions - because their level of intensity of delivery matches the level of intensity on screen.
Thankfully, regardless of how things pan out with the language options in the actual game, I'll be buying the game here in Japan and playing it Japanese.
Finally, I think the voice-casting was pretty bad.
The guys all look gruff as eff, yet have voices that I would associate with, for the lack of a better word, less masculine men of smaller frame.
Luna on the other hand, who's supposed to be relatively young, sound like a woman in her late 30's to mid-40's.
Regis's voice sounds too young for the old Regis, and too old for the young Regis.
It just doesn't work for me.
It's like they picked famous people just for the sake of marketing without really taking into account whether the voices of those famous people would actually fit their characters based on design.
) might wanna avoid spoilers/discussion until they get their movie with the FFXV deluxe edition bundle in November.
