EN really put their whole @$$ into this segment and I freaking LOVE it. Pretty much all the others, you can tell were probably told "cry, but make sure it still sounds cute." En, was like, "No. This thing is gonna whine and wail like a too-tired kid who just got told off for the very first time. We want *despair*, we want *agony*. We're going ALL the way with the child-like ugly-cry with this one!!"
It’s interesting to me how KR seems to go full serious for this dialogue, and then EN goes completely comedic and over the top, but they both work, with CN and JP both lying somewhere in the middle. I like them all.
I think it’s an adaptation of humour for the different audiences. At least I felt the Caelus Korean VA still was comedic or overly dramatic in its own way (a bit less from the Stelle VA).
@@Gamyeon Oh, I agree it’s still comedic, but I think the KR one does comedy by playing it a bit more straight, while EN goes full absurd to get the laughs.
The funny thing about Caelus's EN voice is that it's closer to his actual voice. So hearing Caelus's voice from the creation is funny when you realize the VA was mostly using his normal voice but in a melodramatic way.
I like Caelus in all languages. They all have a different fun flavor. JPN simply sounds pathetic, CHN sounds sarcastic, KOR sounds like a k-drama lead on his knees lamenting in the rain because the MC called him out on his BS and left aka ~Dramatic~, and ENG as others have mentioned sounds like a streamer who lost 50/50...to Yanqing. It's definitely my favorite for being so silly and OTT.
I agree with that sentiment fully man, the English version of Caelus' sobs is that perfect blend between somewhat realistic and comedic, it's great honestly..
I LOVE the EN voices for HSR so much. and tbh I like them a lot more than the other languages. HoYo making sure to find the really great EN voice actors for their games.
JP, CN, and KR voices = soft bean uwu, please don't hurt me, i'm just a little guy energy EN voices = soft bean uwu, MOM COME HOME RIGHT NOW OR I LITERALLY WILL DIE energy
Seeing the cute cat dessert just balling up and wobbling while crying is for some reason so damn cute I can't help but grin although this is supposed to be sad...
I guess I'm the only one finding all the languages hilarious, with a pinch of cringeness. But then, I have to keep in mind that there's an entity called Voice Director. The voice actors act under their erm... direction. And it seems they chose to be dramatically hilarious.
I think the point of the clip was that the English cast decided to go full ham on this instead of more subtle. They are all good, it's just the Hammyness of the EN cast is very notable.
I think the direction for EN was just far superior in this case. This was a golden opportunity for comedic voice acting and they seized it. 😂 CN was pretty great too though.
You can tell that the scene's not supposed to be serious, because this is the only time Caelus "cries" - and Stelle's crying sounds a lot more realistic when you hear it in 2.0 after a certain... scene, whereas Caelus is just hyperventilating upon witnessing said scene
I wish they had all been given the same direction as EN, cause the despair filled wailing made me lose my shit 💀 edit: Honorary mention to CN, CN was great and managed to make me laugh too.
