Scaramouche "Anything but the Gnosis!" in 4 Languages 

English - the most Angered Japanese - the most Scared Chinese - the most Pained Korean - the most Desperate They all have these same tones, but each kinda have an emphasis that match the moment so well. In all of them though, I genuinely teared up.

All language VAs put their whole Kunikuzussies into their performance, epic job

the korean one's voice crack in the last scream is absolutely amazing

The Korean was so good it was like he was really begging to not take his gnosis away, his Korean VA did a good job

Hoyoverse really hit the jackpot with Scara's vas. Literally all of them are so good, especially with this cutscene. No matter the language, all I feel is emotional damage

No matter who wins in your opinion, I gotta say that all of the VAs were able to convey how they thought Scara would react in this situation. Disbelief, anger, grief, bargaining… All of this boils down to a very nuanced character that we can finally meet properly in the future: Someone who went through the 5 stages of grief but is currently stuck on the last step “Acceptance”

I play with the Korean voices and when I heard him cry out like that and then fall, I wanted the traveler to catch him so bad :( I named the wanderer Rahma because it means mercy in Arabic. His story is so sad. I'm glad he is being given another chance.

Damn the Korean one really hit hard. I think it did the best in showing us scara’s emotion. The KR VA did a really good job

This is the saddest cutscene in the game IMO. Mostly because no matter the language, they still have the pure emotion to make you feel the biggest sense of empathy for Scaramouche.

God the Chinese VA of scara really bring the chills when he was desperate for the gnosis

I always say it but the Korean dub is PAINFULLY underrated in the community. The voice actors they brought on nail their respective characters

Korean hit me in the feels. All the VA’s did an amazing job

Man, I love Scara. He's such a tragic character, his mother lets him go to live his own life, to not hold a massive responsibility. His only freind and family feared him, he didn't even understand the concept of illness killing someone. He just wanted to be worth something. I'm definitely pullin for him.

The Japanese version literally blended anger, tiredness and regression altogether so well. Man how is his va so good at this

Damn the Korean one sounded so hurt

Korean's the best here, I can't even understand what they're saying, but I'm getting chills.

imo the chinese and korean versions really hit, you could feel how strong his emotions were through his voice. the va's did an incredible job

Either all of his VA's rent was due or their entire career depended on this cutscene because God did they all do a fantastic job, I can't pick which one is my favourite. They all tug my heartstrings. I can feel the desperation, realization, pain, and fear in their voice. HoYo loves Scara so much they made sure to give me emotional damage in all versions lol. The cutscenes in this Archon quest are the saddest ones in the game imo.

Kudos to Patrick Pedraza, Tetsuya Kakihara, Luyin and Min-Seong Woo for the epic voice performance as Scaramouche. All of his voice actors have nailed the character flawlessly through his fear, anger, hatred and suffering.

korean hits different u can feel his desperation

Love how he just plummets from five stories up Omori style. Love that for you, king.

Scara's voice in every language is so good.

Oh my GOD, the Korean VA is the best, i could feel the pain through his voice, it was truly amazing 😭😭

I'm a Korean. I use a translator to convey my words, but the fact that you love Korean voice actors is nothing short of grateful to me. I feel that all the voice actors did a good job, and I can feel the emotions and rage. All the voice actors work hard to make the game, and I want people to love it. All voice actors fighting!

dude korean hit me in the feels. all VAs literally did so amazing oh my god

I feel so bad for him, he was like "hey my mom gave me that" or "i worked hard to obtain it so please don't take it"

한국 스카라무슈도 많이들 좋아해줘서 너무 좋다.. 민승우 성우님 연기 역시 완벽.. 3.3버전 방랑자 대사들도 엄청 기대...

Sheesh, korean voice is absolutely epic. love the desperation and sheer emotion!

Damn, the Koran VA really outdid themselves, the emotion in his voice was amazing.

the english and korean really captured the emotion well. english represented scara’s self loathing, regret, and pain so well. the korean version showed his despair, panic, and disbelief.

the korean VA.... it's like a kdrama line! the emotions, and the fact that i understand the line cuz of commonly used words in kdrama. Ooooff, I love it!

All of them are amazing but holy moly we need to talk about the Korean version … voice acting goes harder than all the Korean dramas I’ve ever seen 😳😳😨😨 goosebumps

4:47 the voice crack at the end makes it sounds like he’s about to cry. I love his kn va so much.

Omg the way CN went from quiet to loud.... it hurts so much 😭 All the VAs so good! 👏👏👏 I'm sobbing for all 4 languages

kr is excellent in breathing, tremor and emotion.

EN and KR struck me the most omg, they fit the desperate-sounding scaramouche best in my opinion

Wow all of the versions can express his grief sadness and anger at same time. Salute

I legit cannot decide who did it better as each VA put the perfect amount of pure pain and desperation in his voice. But with the Korean one? The voice crack at the end was PERFECT. It completely summed up the utter grief and hurt in Scaramouche. That's what's so interesting about Scaramouche - he hates humans, yet he's very human himself. He feels pain and defeat, just like we do. The lore behind him is so interesting and complex. I cannot wait to pull for him frfrrr edit: YALL I GOT HIM AT 35 PITY IM SO HAPPYHDJSBDJD

THE VOICE CRACKS AT THE END OF KOREAN HAVE ME CRYING IT'S SO WELL DONE SCARAMOUCHEJSDHJSHFAHDHIFVASIOFGSI

Korean voice acting will always be in my soul, my favorite

I honestly really like the KR va since it feels like they were actually feeling the emotions on that moment, anger at trying to get the gnosis back but sadness at the same time

How break my heart in 4 languages

All of them are so, so good. The voice crack at the end of the Korean one, though… It’s perfect. Each one delivered so much emotion. I’ve listened to them over and over just because they all did such an amazing job.

4개국어 다 절망하는것과 화남을 잘 표현햇는데 민승우 성우님 너무 절망적인 심정을 잘 표현해서 숨이 턱 막혔음

I'm not s Scara simp but damn this scene got me all emotional. I really appreciate his character and don't understand the haters who call him "edgy brat". His character is so complex and he has such a cool backstory. Can't wait to roll for him

I love CN and KR's deliveries the most but they're all so good with delivering scara's feelings

민승우 성우님 그저 갓… 인겜에서 볼때도 정신 놓고 봤는데 또 봐도 소름돋는다

English and Korean VA did so well omg

Damn, Korean hitting different. I've only played with that voice over once (only one installed at a PC bang), but I must say I'm really impressed by Scara KR VA.

Here’s an in-depth analysis of each of the voices and the different emotions they bring out, for those who care: -The EN voice- 0:07 His expression of anger is very explicit in the first few lines, and he appears to be on the verge of exploding into an impulsive act (like aggravated assault). The breaths he takes seem to convey that he is seething with rage. 0:41 Unlike the other voices, he pleads with his listeners almost as though they were his equal and will have an understanding of his motives (while in other voices there is more panic in his voice, and he treats the listener as an opponent that he is losing to). 0:54 He appears to be more desperate than angry in his delivery of “Don’t even try”. 0:58 There is denial, reluctance, and fear conveyed with undertones of anger and frustration in his “I’ll never go back” lines, which indicates that there is a level of subconscious acknowledgement of his fate compared to the other voices. It almost sounds as though deep down he already knows that his struggles will end in vain (hence the denial). 1:03 His final gasp marks the moment his fears are confirmed. Compared to the other voices, it is the one that conveys the most fear. -The JP voice- 1:25 The anger conveyed here is also very intense, equal in levels of explicitness compared to EN, but more unhinged in manner. 1:51 The gasp when Nahida reaches for his gnosis conveys mostly disbelief, unlike the other voices. It speaks to the inflated arrogance that made him unable to predict or even see this outcome as a possibility. 1:57 He appears to continue to be in disbelief, as expressed by that initial whimper. He then proceeds to lose control in a fit of desperation, sounding extremely distressed. His voice is consistently cracking, further emphasizing on that unhinged feeling. 2:14 He seems to be announcing this, as though renouncing the world for being the reason for all his suffering. 2:23 His gasp here appears to convey more shock than anything, and even as he’s falling, it seems as though he is still in the midst of processing everything that just happened. This gasp conveys more shock compared to EN and CN, and less so of fear or desperation, as well as the least degree of acceptance. -The CN voice- 2:41 In the beginning, the expression of anger is much more restrained. There is humiliation from the loss of being in a vulnerable position after defeat and anger from being once again let down by humanity. The breath he exhales after his “humans” line conveys this anger and 不甘心 (indignant unwillingness to accept his loss). There is not much explicit expression of pain compared to the other voices, as he appears to be more consumed by anger (and pride to express the pain he is in). 3:07 The gasp when Nahida begins to take his gnosis conveys an initial realization that something he fears is going to happen, a mix of that “oh no” feeling, more so than disbelief. 3:14 In the lines where he attempts to reach for the gnosis, the strongest emotion conveyed here is desperation, with strong hints of panic. 3:26 Then, he transitions to anger in “That’s mine”, the type of anger derived from a state of knowing that one is completely powerless against another opponent or entity. His transition from pure desperation to anger is also his last attempt at trying to gain control over the situation. The raw emotion in “Don’t even try” most strongly conveys desperation at its peak mixed in with anger that is brought on by feelings of helplessness when he realizes he has truly lost. 3:30 Again, there is a sense of desperation weaved into the delivery of his “I’ll never go back” lines, along with fear, recollection of pain, and panic. The yelling itself is almost like an attempt to reach his opponent and miraculously make them reconsider their decision. To add to this, in Mandarin, he’s actually saying something along the lines of “I can’t ever go back again,” further conveying the desperation. 3:35 His last gasp reveals the moment desolation hits him from the final realization. -The KR voice- 3:57 Very similar to the JP voice in terms of the extent to which there is a sense of him losing control. The JP voice, though, seems to express more moments of restraint than the KR one, and the KR voice sounds more vehemently indignant and hurt than the JP one. 4:23 Similar to the CN voice in terms of conveying the instance of the “oh no” realization, but to a more dire degree. 4:30 The desperation in these lines is very strongly expressed, much like the CN voice, but there is also a lot more panic and distress, and the yelling makes it sound similar to the JP voice, except the yelling feels even more unhinged. 4:47 The raw delivery of this line sounds like a mixture of desperation, renunciation of his past, unwillingness to admit his defeat, and fear of the pain he once endured. 4:51 This gasp is the one that conveys the most shock out of all the voices. An extra note on the CN voice, because it is the voiceover I play in, so it is the one that I can speak the most about. Throughout the story, Scaramouche’s voice is very melodious and doesn’t have too much explicit expression of anger (like the EN and JP ones). Anger is felt instead through the eerie contrast between the soothing melodious timbre of his voice and the threatening aura of his words. He always uses an amused tone to mask his pain and anger, and the only times his voice betrays these emotions are through subtle changes in the inflection of his voice. That’s why to see him not only display such a vulnerable side of him when he desperately reaches for the gnosis, but also to hear that raw delivery of the “Don’t even try” line caught me completely off-guard and was suddenly heart-wrenching. At that moment, he appeared to me as a child who was just desperate for the world to not let him down again. A child who did not know how to escape from his own self-sabotaging behaviors. Such a well-written scene for such a tragic character. This is of course all just my interpretation, feel free to agree, disagree, or add to any part of it. And since I only speak two of the languages here, the other two voices may not have impacted me the same way it would impact native speakers.

中国語と韓国語のボイス本当いいな､､､ 声の掠れ具合とか息を呑む音だけで感情がすごい伝わってくる もちろん英語も日本語もうまい！かきてつ最高

It’s so cool how all of the Scaramouche VAs have a “youthful yet deep” voice, which is perfect for his somewhat immature but grieving character. All the performances were A+

Fun fact, but Scaramouche’s CN VA was the tenor in his first and second phase! (The slightly higher pitched singer among the deep opera)

this scene shattered my heart into a million pieces

역시 한국인의 전통적 정서 '한'....

I got chills listening to this for the first time in Korean bro. They killed this!

THEY ALL ARE SO GOOD AND PERFECT! BRAVO TO THE EN, CN, JP AND KR SCARA VA’S

IMO I rlly loved the ENG and the KOREAN They did so good!!! but my gosh they all did amazing!! the emotion in their voices just amazing!

i think korean & japanese fit so well in this

柿原さんが1番やわと思ったけど韓国語めっちゃ鳥肌立った…… 何か絶望感がすごい……悲しい😢😢

Japanese is my favorite. Not just because it's a strong vocal performance but because of all the little sounds he makes. It first conveys his anger, which naturally turns to fear and uncertainty, and then to desperation as he falls apart. The little gasps and trembles really make it sound so real. I'm so impressed by it and it really got me hit in the feels.

韓国語めっちゃ好き

the Korean voice acting, surprisingly, turned out to be the most sincere

1番好きなのはやっぱり柿原さんのマシュなんだけど、韓国語のマシュもめっちゃ好き

I played all of sumeru in the Korean dub cause its the only one I haven't used yet. Oh boyo the Korean dub is soo good. (All the dubs are good) everyone did a great job

the cn one is the clear winner to me imo it's perfect ... kana did amazing

どの言語の声優さんも凄いなぁ…

the korean and chinese ones are just heart-wrenching omg-

I don't get why people feel the need to discredit any of them! I adore the En and CN for scara and still really like KR and JP. The changeover with anger and frustration with CN is amazing and ENs realisation that he's lost really shakes me I've always loved all of the vas for him and I really don't like this pick and choose mentality like sure we can have our preferences but saying one over the other in "performance" isn't fair because I think it affects people differently depending on a lot of factors.

3:26 the crack in his voice is so good😭

Goosebumps liked the VA of Chinese and Korean. Just hearing them made me want to cry and fall into despair along with Scara~~

I love how so scared he sounds in Korean. The despair is real :/

All the VAs for Scaramouche are literally perfection. It's hard in my opinion for VAs to be able to portray a character perfectly but Scaramouche's is portrayed perfectly. Hats off to whoever cast the VAs

Chinese is so underrated, so many emotions behind that voice omfg

Korean Version hit different I love it sooooo much!

though ive normally always liked his english va the most in this scene korean just hits the hardest for me, it brings out the most emotion

As good as the KR is I burst out laughing at 'Don't even try' because it's more closer to 'How dare'.

Everyone does a good job But Korean... The last scream of begging and fear... Just gave me the vibe of "did i do the right thing?"

I love Korean the most

에바 아스카 생각나는 장면이라 두 캐릭 다 좋아하는 입장에서 한국어 음성 너무 좋음 진짜 죽음 앞에서 마지막으로 발악하는 느낌

The shouting in the korean version sounds so natural with his voice breaking almost holy crap. The Japanese version was so full of emotion. English dub is just pure desperation but also all of them just feels like watching a child have some massive temper tantrum while being punished

I finished the quest around 10 minutes ago. I swear on all the Archons that have never cried as much as I did during this quest. Scaramouche really just didn't want to lose himself. Once the gnosis was taken, he became something he didn't even know. I feel so bad 😭

Korean actually won this one for me as it seemed to best fit Scaramouche's character overall. English: betrayed. Japanese: most desperate. Chinese: scared and angriest. Korean: threatening. English was my favorite voice tho.

I never expect anything less than steller for the Korean voice overs, his va did outstanding (in my opinion Korean is always some of the best)

한국어도 좋아해줘...민승우 성우님 연기 개잘함..모든 성우들이 목소리 떨림이나 호흡 조절 신경쓴게 느껴진다..

Losing the gnosis for Scaramouche is like losing his heart, given that's the reason he was created in the first place, and every voice actor nailed that feeling perfectly.

Scaramouche probably has one of my favorite character backstories of all time.The guy has suffered through so much pain and grief. It all consumed him while he searched for a greater purpose. The VAs in all the languages did a spectacular job showing the desperate need and emotions Scara was going through. You truly get to see how broken he is. This cutscene is definitely one to remember. I hope that we can learn so much more about his character in the upcoming versions and the VAs continue to do an amazing job voicing this character!!

BRO the korean was so good but the way he yelles in english after screaming for the gnosis gives me CHILSSSSS

The fact that CN VA for scara aether are the same person shows how talented he is imagine voicing two people in different sides

I love the EN one! It's fits Scara's desperation best, in my opinion :)

i fucking love villains where you just know one single act of kindness or love in their life could've helped them stay on the right path. there's just something about the unfairness of the world corrupting a pure soul at every chance it gets that really pulls me into the story.

I know people like to joke about one dub being better than another, but I honestly feel like all the VAs absolutely killed it with this scene. Itto tier voice acting.

bruh it must suck to have finally gotten something that had been sitting in storage for years, super powerful but worthless to the goddess herself, yet it completes your existence, only to be ripped away so soon. 500 years and he finally got it. Ik its his heart but I think it also makes him act like a biological human, like you can see his breath after he says "filthy humans"...I don't think he does that normally (Wanderer's announcement)

I keep wondering about want Scramouche meant when he said "I'll never go back"... Is it about not wanting to go back to his old self without a gnosis, and therefore without a purpose? Or maybe he meant it as a promise to not go back to his evil and selfish intentions in exchange for getting his gnosis back? (he did literally say "anything but the gnosis"...)

4:32 e 4:47 FICOU PERFEITOOO, eu sempre joguei no inglês mas nessa cena, o Coreano ficou MUITO bom Os outros tbm ficaram muito bons mas o melhor foi o coreano

The bgm hits real hard because it's the same one from 3.1 when Scaramouche was recalling his past. And when he desperately reaches out for the Gnosis, which was his sole purpose of creation and even when abandoned, thought that would be the key to obtaining a heart he has always yearned for. Can't wait to see how his relationship with Aether/Lumine, Raiden, Miko, and Nahida turns out after becoming the Wanderer.

My take is English did a good job portraying his utter fear of the moment, along with his weakened state. Japanese did a good job portraying his desperation, and Chinese displayed his sadness and exhaustion. Korean does a good job with his anger and pain. Especially the pain part.

I actually like the English and Korean versions the best. Both did really great at just conveying a sense of desperation. Edit: after a rewatch I actually prefer the Chinese over the English with Korean being number 1, still very close and amazing performance all around.

韓国語とても良い

my head during this entire scene was just "dont cry dont cry dont cry dont cry" and eventually i burst into tears and it was just "fuck". while knowing scara's backstory played a big part in making me cry, most credit really goes to the vas bc that level of emotion is just too much for my heart
