How the actual fuck did the travesty that is this game's dub happen? I'm a Britfag, and for whatever reason I feel the need to make it abundantly clear why this dub is fetid dog shit, as if it wasn't obvious already. Rex and Nia, and a few of the other main character have a Yorkshire accent. Let me elaborate on the significance of this. You see, speaking with a Yorkshire accent is basically a red flag that you are either mentally deficient or straight up fucking inbred. Everyone in Britain knows this. The Yorkshire accent is pretty much the last possible option for any voice acting job unless your looking for the voice of a fucking Hobbit and you're all out of Welshmen. So how the actual fuck did this happen? I am genuinely curious. Some retard with some clout at Nintendo made the decision to take these relatively high profile parts and give them to a bunch of web-footed mongs that live in a fucking carvery. There is a gigantic fucking CHASM between the anime visuals and the "me mum is me sister" dialogue that pours out of these character's mouths in the English dub. Someone must have known. Someone KNEW what they were fucking doing. This is just as egregious as casting minorities for the sake of a diversity quota. Someone had all these dog-shit voice actors on hand, and took it upon themselves to shoe-horn them in to this game. I'm sure Amerifags fail to see the problem, and I don't mean to offend, but burgerclaps thinking all Brit accents sound the same is partially responsible for this shit. I want to know who the fuck is responsible for this shit, because I promise you, anime games will continue to suffer if they think that XC2's sales figures are an indicator that this bullshit is ok.
People liked it in the first game Maybe they didn't realise that that was because the voice actors were good, not just because they were britbongs As for yorkshire accent specifically, the characters had different dialects based on what titan they came from in the japanese version so they needed some equivalent in the english one >anime games will continue to suffer Good dubs have always been the exception, not the rule
Michael Sullivan
the game itself isn't very good to begin with. the dub is the least of its problems.
Caleb Bell
>Good dubs have always been the exception, not the rule
And shit like this selling is the reason
Thomas Brooks
I think the voice director was a troll who just wanted to shut up the self-loathing Americucks you always see online, who think anyone with an English accent is a better voice actor than all Americans.
Jack Perez
Maybe if they also look at the download stats for the JP audio they might see their mistake
Hudson Moore
i thought the protagonist's accent was australian and the furry-ears girl was welsh?
William Jones
They're both Yorkshire accents, that's why they sound like such utter fucking garbage. Probably recruited from the same area to save money.
Joseph White
>I think the voice director was a troll As much as I'd like to attribute this to malevolence it's far too obvious that it is a result of complete and utter stupidity on the casting director's part.
Adrian Torres
The villains had the best voices and out of the main group zekes was decent
Luke Gray
>best voices are the ones who aren't britbong or american pottery Zeke's didn't fit him at all though
Parker Miller
Ignore OP, he's a fucking moron.
Ethan White
I'm from Bolton and I'd say that Rex's accent is something similar to the local one.
Hudson Lewis
The real question is where are the dubfags defending this garbage?
Connor Cooper
>Nia >Yorkshire Well you have no idea what you're talking about.
Samuel Sanders
No, I think the real question, is why do you fucking care in the first place?
Caleb Robinson
Fuck off weeaboo, stop trying to start shit
Grayson Barnes
How do you feel that your capital is run by a muslim?
Julian Reed
Probably because it's bad
Jaxson Rogers
Fuck off, faggot. I bet that you're still at Chapter 1. Once you pass it, the lip syncing and voice direction (other than Rex's screaming) becomes much, much better. I can't even go back to the Jap voices because it sounds so goddamn generic
Nathan Hill
Another XC2 thread, it's the game of the year, how can you even deny it?
Josiah Ramirez
>Nia >not Welsh Also I like that they showcased different regional accents and gave different races different ones. The only hang-up is Rex.
Logan Barnes
>generic The word is "professional"
Landon Smith
The dub already started the shit And oh what a shit it is.
Hudson Wilson
Better than being run by jews.
Evan Lopez
Your mother gave birth to you but you dont see me going that far back about starting shit
Thomas Cook
>You see, speaking with a Yorkshire accent is basically a red flag that you are either mentally deficient or straight up fucking inbred. >Everyone in Britain knows this.
Noah Sullivan
Tora's voice is fucking excellent as well. It fits him way better than the mouse Jap shit.
Austin Diaz
Nice defense underage dubfag.
Jacob Reyes
No, generic. Like every fucking anime generic.
Hunter Thomas
What I found interesting was the Scotish accent for the "imperials", usually its the posh southern accent thats used for that.
Tyler Johnson
So Yorkshire is the Missi/Bama region of Britain? Good to know. What's the Texas of Britain?
Jordan Campbell
>Rex and Nia Did I somehow miss Yorkshire conquering all of Wales?
Liam Turner
Get the jap dick out your mouth you fucking embarrassment.
Joshua Ramirez
> What's the Texas of Britain? Liverpool
Mason Cooper
>I'm american
Robert Baker
Brexit here.
I've always been a sub fag, I play Tales with JP, I played Nier with JP, even CFW Persona 4 with JP. But I fucking love the Xenoblade dub. Without the dub this game loses all of its charm, Pyra turns into a generic uguu~ girl and Nia is just another catgirl. I'll probably never play another game with dub but I can't imagine Xenoblade without Nia swearing on her mum.
William Bailey
>dubfag >implying Your father shouldve used defense when conceiving you
Brandon Lee
Better have a dick than literal feces.
Nathan Stewart
What is Rex's accent anyway?
Colton Diaz
If youre not an Arab or one of the 33 countries that dont recognise Israel then jews control your country.
Grayson Perry
Everyone talks about the voice acting or cringe story but I've never heard anyone bring up the motion-capture. What's that all about? It looks as awful as Sonic 06's motion-capture, everyone moves like tokusatsu actors and it contrasts really badly with the uguu anime character models.
David Myers
Yorkshire is the best place in the UK. Picturesque with nice friendly people.
Mason Garcia
Nia's Welsh you fucking retard. Also I'm from Sheffield. You have no idea what a Yorkshire accent is
Nicholas Taylor
Karl Pilkington >namefag It's fine mostly but it does look stiff in some scenes They clearly spent all the budget on the fights
Cooper Harris
amerimutts will laugh and clap and shart their pants over "le funnay accents" and ignore how horribly shit the voice actors are.
Camden Thomas
weebfaggot will yap with joy at the unbearable squeeks the yellow bitches makes in their holy exotic language they don't even understand.
>It's fine mostly but it does look stiff in some scenes
m8 my problem is it's the exact opposite of stiff. Look at the 'one-eyed monster' clip for example, everyone over-exaggerates their body tilting, head tilting, posing, reacting to someone posing. It doesn't help when characters look around and don't even blink mid-turn, like they're all dressed up as Disney mascots.
Caleb Sanders
Kinda sucks since everyone were fit to their roles in the first game, i really liked Dunban and Klaus especially. In this one i only like Malos and when he goes full MONADO at the end.
Landon Torres
that's good though >cartoony and unrealistic movements clash with a cwrtoony and unrealistic artstyle how?
Carson Brooks
I've played both the sub and the sub. Both are utter shit to be fair. Anyone claiming the subs were good (not even better, just good in general) is a weeb with shit taste
Isaac Green
>I'd rather watch a shittier version of a BBC documentary. >Instead of my favorite anime. The state of crumpet-munchers I swear.
Nathan Harris
>You see, speaking with a Yorkshire accent is basically a red flag that you are either mentally deficient or straight up fucking inbred. Away mate I'll fucking bray ya.
Jason Harris
>Yorkshire accent From what I've heard I think the voice actor was a Southerner trying to be a Northerner but failing miserably. He bounces around the whole of England in every sentence. It's embarrassingly bad voice acting.
