Looking highly forward to it, but fuck SEGA for cutting a lot of voice out of the US version.

The people who request japanese voice acting ruined it for everyone.

Have you played Star Ocean 4? Those people are doing all of us a big favor, I think.

Star Ocean 4's dub is nothing compared to the worst of the worst, so no, they aren't. They're the reason the game doesn't have voice acting.

Hmm, maybe I was thinking about some other game, but doesn't this game just have Japanese voice acting?

what's the worst of the worst then?   when people say games like Valkyrie Profile and final Fantasy have good voice acting, it just shows that they're more depraved and not that they have some kind of better ear for VA.

Star Ocean 2 was tolerable because there wasn't very much voice acting. Star Ocean 4 on the other hand...

typical rpg fan trap.  I say "yes, I am saying that" and they say "LLOOOOLLL NO WAY FFXII HAS BEST VA EVAR OMG BASCH BALTHIER LOLLLLLLLL"

smh.  

Although I'll admit, that game suffers more from bad audio quality, poor writing, a bunch of "don't give a flying fuck" cutscenes about crystals and shit, and from the fact that there are about 20 different accents going on at once in the party than from straight bad VA.

and it's just a bunch of anime voice actors doing what they do in every single show they're on.  there's nothing special about it.

Naw man. You said that FF shouldn't be held as a high standard for voice acting in rpgs, when FF12 has some pretty solid va. I'm not saying it has the best va ever, because it doesn't. But it definitely is a high standard within the localized efforts. Honestly, it's not the va that makes the localization so good either; it's the translation. But va is only the icing on the cake for me.

I don't see how it's a fan trap at all, especially when you ask "what's worse of the worse" and bring up a final fantasy title in the same sentence. Final Fantasy titles have a hell of a lot better voice acting than earlier efforts.

Have you played Grandia psx version? Or Jade Cocoon?

I see a dude with a leather jacket with jeans. First thing I think of is a modern stylized setting with fantasy elements.

Post by: cool breeze on August 06, 2009, 02:30:00 PM
FF12 had great vo.  Other than some awkward writing/scenes (I'M CAPTAIN BASCH) it's better than a lot of games and most jrpg.  It also didn't have as much pantomiming and slow-tard talk that can ruin good casting.

in general, the standard for voice acting in games has become better. 

and the EoE combat looks good.  It's a UE3 360 game, right? I'll probably get it when it's released here.

I know, Final Fantasy is better, but it's at the top of the shit heap, you know?

I'd prefer text on the screen.  :lol    I don't know, I don't have any answers really.   Japanese VA is more of a band-aid...I can't pretend to like it better for any other reason than that I'm not familiar with what good Japanese VA should sound like--they could be completely awful.  And over the years, I'm used to the types of inflection most commonly used in Japanese VA, so I think I'm starting to feel how generic a lot of it actually is. 
Title: Re: End of Eternity looks hot
Post by: Himu on August 06, 2009, 03:52:31 PM
I agree with you.

I prefer textboxes when it comes to jrpgs. Voice acting can add a bit though.

I'm done being hyped for JRPGs. They just don't try anymore. After The Last Remnant, all other games are complete shit.

we should give predictions as to what the res of battles will be this time

i'll be generous and go with 1024x576 which is bit of a step up from so4

last remnant sucks. it wasn't until the start of disc 2 that i looked at a faq and found out that almost none of the achievements (cuz i felt i should gotten one for beating hells gate) are story related :bawl
