What do you think of the voice acting?

English


Japanese


>Mfw the odds of us getting an option for Japanese VA is basically non-existent
>Mfw we get phoned in performances from B-list anime VAs
You know, until today I used to give people shit for being autistic about games lacking Japanese VA, "oh god, you can't listen to characters speaking in a language you don't understand, how ever will you manage?", but this game makes me finally get it.

Japanese Zelda tugs at my heart strings; when she breaks down in tears I instinctively wanted to do nothing other than hold her, tell her it's going to be alright, and make it so. That trailer made me feel; it gripped me tight and never let go, and I preordered a Switch w/ Master Edition on the goddamn spot.

In English it felt like I was watching a direct to video Disney Sequel.

Fuck me. I'm seriously considering importing.

^Not my writing btw

First Zelda game with legit voice acting but English Zelda is kinda shit. I hope they have dual audio.
Let's fill up some petitions lads.

This is how I felt about it too. Was the English VA even trying?

The English voice acting was bad, but I've heard worse. Far worse.

voice acting on a game is not something worth hyping about, considering even free to play mobile games have great voice acting. as for the voice acting, it was ok.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

the english vioce acting is Musou franchise live english voice work
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

Switch is not region locked so there's no reason to include a hard version. The file sizes were released today and the Switch has a larger file size than the region locked Wii U. Goddamnit Nintendo, I will preorder on the spot if it has dual audio.

That voice acting sample is very small. Just from that it's hard to tell how good or bad the English version actually is. The JP certainly sounds better from that clip.

Also this:

"Japanese Zelda tugs at my heart strings; when she breaks down in tears I instinctively wanted to do nothing other than hold her, tell her it's going to be alright, and make it so. That trailer made me feel; it gripped me tight and never let go, and I preordered a Switch w/ Master Edition on the goddamn spot."

A whole 3 seconds of dialog made someone wanna do that? The fuck??? That's some hardcore emo weeaboo shit.

English voice acting sounded fine to me. I think you're just being a weeb.

Literally get some tastes. It's not about the jp version sounding good, it's about the english sounding like shit. The Italian and Spanish Zeldas sound better than this B-tier whimper.

There's a rumor going around from multiple sources that we're getting dual audio.

Eh the sample size was too small, it seemed fine to me except for how the English Goron sounds.

Lol even my English is more expressive, however the Italian version isn't bad (we are good in dubbing, but terrible in adaptation).

Dual audio confirmed, but if you change the audio to japanese, the text turns to japanese too.

You can't play in english with jp voices.

Fuckin nintendo.

Meh its alright, like others have said voice sample was too small to have decent opinion on it. I'd also rather have this shit not get delayed again to have subs. Like P5, but P5 has a godtier VA cast in Japanese so it gets a pass.

What subs? The English text is already there. Nintendo are just be a bunch of asshats now because they know people are gonna give them a pass, just like Bethesda and their buggy messes.

I'm starting to think Nintendo are just a bunch of lazy mofos. "Innovation" my ass. I actually like the bugs in Bethesda games. You know what I don't like? Motion controls.

The data is already on the cartridge, but they're not letting you simply switch just the voices. This lack of rationality hurts me. Nintendo, why do you have to be so stupid?

I can see you
