God hearing Alisaie kills me every time, not many games have made me pause to take a breath but this moment with Alisaie was one of them. Hats off to her VA man, made me weep
"Oh, don't look at me like that." *BOOM* Fell in love with him. Rene Zagger did an outstanding job with this character and the people who only play with JP audio are missing out on this one IMO
Considering that the JP voice actor is better... not really. Rene Zagger isn't bad, but he is not the best. I listened to the English voice acting, too, and simply find it subpar compared to JP. That's my opinion, naturally. But it doesn't mean anyone misses out for playing in one language or the other.
@Toptiergod first, no reason to get insulting. Second, who says people outside Japan can't understand and speak Japanese? Third, who the hell are you to judge?
@@Yuyu5001 They never said anything about people outside Japan. Only people who don't speak Japanese. I hear people who don't speak Japanese say all the time that the JP voice acting is better, for reasons like the actors are together when they record and other stuff, but literally how can you tell if you don't speak the language. Most of them are just being pretentious weebs. Also you started your original comment by telling me that I'm wrong. That's always gonna come off as hostile and get you harsh responses.
@@BeccaLovesSRK i made it pretty clear I'm voicing an opinion. There is absolutely no, never, any excuse for insulting people over it. Besides, stating that anyone listening to a language they don't understand is weird is nonsense. Or so you think anyone who listens to English songs but don't understand the language is weirdo? Hate to break it to people here, but that's, like, most of humanity. Guess most of humanity is weird, then. But I guess music doesn't count? Also, the JP boice acting sounds more natural and voices are chosen better, too. That's why people say it's better.
@@Yuyu5001 I actually didn't say any of that. Specifically in the case of animated or computer generated visual media, it seems ridiculous to me to claim that voice acting in a language you don't understand is superior or inferior to that of your native language. Someone who understands both would be perfectly justified in expressing an opinion on the subject, and I suspect that the people who don't speak Japanese but still claim its superiority are just parroting the opinions of bilingual people. Music and live action are entirely different cases. Also, "Considering that the JP voice actor is better... not really." is dismissive at best, stated as a fact, and you literally only commented to disagree with my opinion. Your comment read as "Actually, I don't think people who only play with JP audio are missing out because the English voice acting is subpar." You could have just ignored my comment and moved on with your day, but you decided to engage so don't be mad when people come at you.
it broke my heart to see Lyna being so frustrated by the loss of her comrades. But just before I was about to cry, I was then filled with rage as soon as Vauthry's lips part.
Yeah, the one time i felt such true anger towards an antagonist in a game in a LONG time. I remember this being the turning point of me wearing my usual casual glam into a serious, reaper-like glam lol.
One of my favourite characters in Shadowbringers. Salome Gunnarsdóttir, who voiced Lyna, did a sterling job and she really poured so much emotion into her performance. I hope we hear from her again in future content!
I thought you were just meming cause I really couldn't hear it, and was about to praise David Menkin on his range, then he said "This worthless pile of earth" and then I was reminded of all the times Malos made 'boy' sound like a slur.
Agreed, though hearing Y'shtola and Alisaie (and this comes after this) attempt to rebuke Emet-Selch also had some strong emotion. Listen to the conviction in their voices. But I did search for this video because Lyna was so good here. There's not simply one or two instances of good voice acting in ShB or even XIV as a whole, but many.
