- Since Wuthering Waves's english dub was produced in the UK, we get to hear more of the British accent which I think is pretty cool

I actually enjoy the npc’s british accent more than the playables awkward accent
True, the resonators are more npc-like than npcs
The way Yangyang’s talk makes me sleepy
Yeah, now that I think about it 😂😂
@@retsuki2154 maybe they will let her use her British accent
no
I don't understand why they didn't let the VAs speak British, it just sounds so unnatural because the VAs were made to do an American accent.
Yeah why didn't they? I'm british myself and there's literally no problem with our accents.

@@jolojrdook1419 stop, I literally choked on my food 🤣🤣🤣
@-Blasphemy- Politics
The relationship between China and the US is inflated in a bad way inside China.
So it is a really sensitive topic
That aside, Kuro also mentioned the political implications of hiring US talents so they hired British VAs to do American accent as the relationship with Europe is more amicable with China
A little disappointing honestly, if not, very much so.
A good reminder I'm still playing a Chinese game despite Kuro being relatively good as a company

I find it ironic that the NPCs have British accents, while main ones like Chixia,
Taoqi, and Encore have American ones despite their VAs being British as well.
I wouldn't say encore sounds inherently american, you can hear tons of british hints
@@MaciejCreates Yes but you can tell the VA direction was - Sound american
The VAs are extremely talented
Kuro is using a lot of the sames English VAs as R:1999 did but you can tell the difference in voice direction
If there was a poll in the mail next time, I'll tell em to make the English VAs speak British naturally.
And redo the whole thing in a professional studio with a single director, the most jarring thing is how inconsistent and amateurish it feels.
U wut m8?!?!
Just tell them to hire more Chilean VA like Balmaceda and Camden. Brit VA is just as overused as US accent at this point
What about changing all the dialogues to match their accent?
@@nonamepasserbya6658 or hire an australian. Most American voice suck for some reason
The npc's sound so much better and more emotional than the resonators...
It's because the voice director wasn't strict with the NPC's..
The director forced the main cast of VA's to imitate an American accent instead of letting them speak normally..
They wanted to make the English so good that they overdid it. What mad lads.
If you've ever lived in the UK, you could experinced much worse than this...
@@taurivendor8994 legit theres atleast 20+ differant dialects in such a small island. Im from england and half of em I have no idea what they're spittin ngl
And it’s still ass
try Reverse 1999
More like they wanted to use British accent but forgot to use the accent.
0:29 you know he's a londoner when pulls up a blade after that
😂 I'm fucking dead
ofc he'd shank us the first chance he gets
In case if everyone doesn't know, Encore VA is also voicing Regulus from reverse 1999
So you have a Mother
No wonder she sounded so familiar!
Regulus' brittish accent+the emotions combo is so good, sad that Encore isn't ULTRA brittish
@@_Chxco_ some people said that the devs want them to use american accent, that's why Encore british isn't that thick
@@Mr_Red.25 that sucks, they sound great the american accent is weird
Genshin Impact English dub was made in America while Wuthering Waves English dub was made in the United Kingdom.
Yea that the problem why they didn't just speak with their own accent. The eng dub feels weird imo.
Chongyun's English VA (Beau Bridgland) is British btw... and Kaveh's English VA (Ben Balmaceda) is from Chile
@@RSatoshiIt's so stupid how the voice director did them so dirty..
Not every English actor can imitate an American accent. Just let them speak normally!!
I felt like the first 4 characters that we meet all sounded so similar. Like it was one person just speaking with different levels of emotions.
The director should just let them speak with their natural accents. It always feels like they're being held back from properly emoting what they are saying because they're forcing themselves to speak in an American accent.
gacha EN fan: ew, the dub is 6/10
Xenoblade fan: aaaaaaayyyyy mate
I think the main problem that people have is that they were forced to use American accents rather then their normal accent so it feels a bit awkward...
PLEASE let yangyang speak w the british accent she will sound so much more listenable
Yang Yang’s VA isn’t British LMAO. She’s Chinese American.
@@araarashinigami its doesnt matter if she grew up in British, she would have the same accent anyway...
@@araarashinigami Damn, then she has no excuse. They should just replace her, she's the worst right next to Rover's va who at least has the accent excuse.
@@Rivəror here’s a better idea replace the terrible voice director
@@wholethedogsout880 They already are bruv. I want them both replaced. Yangyang's voice is forgettable and boring as well.
Crazy how the NPCs sound decent simply bc they're not putting up an accent.
this game is very Xenoblade. The overworld, the infighting between the enemies, and the voices.
It's very xenoblade because of the out place random British accents.
Literally explains everything. I was looking at the dialog and listening to the voice acting and I'm like WHO TALKS LIKE THIS??! Sounds like a robot. Brits pretending to be Americans explains everything.
Update on the voice direction by kuro games!
After the first day of wuwa's release, kuro games made an official statement that they had fired their voice director and were looking for another before future story patches! They listened! Changes were made ToT ToT.
I was using EN and be like : Why the Intonation is kinda flat? (except for Jiyan)
And Scar
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret agree
1:32 The brit felt so brit not like " the lingyang boy"
Why do the NPCs have better voice actors than the playable characters ?
Never saw so many XB players in content of games like this. Nice to see you again guys.
Anyway my new objective in WuWa will be to find the Xenoblade, whoever or whatever is here.
THE SWORD OF ORIGIN, YOU INTEND TO END IT ALL!????
I'm waiting for Xenoblade 3's casts to come over. Like Eunie's VA or Noah's VA or even Shulk's, I love their voice ngl
If they voice a playable character in this game, I'm pulling that character. They could be bottm tier for all I care and I'd still pull.
Well there definitely are some Xenoblade VAs in the game already. Scar is Cammuravi, Encore is Fiora, Chixia is Vanea, Baizhi is Haze, Mortefi is Perdido, and Yinlin is Sheba and Obrona.
Okay but how does this explain Chixia and Yanyang? I switch off English as soon as I started the game after hearing them, their accents are absolutely not any kind of British I've ever heard, and I'm English.
Poor voice direction is best I can really say. Either that or sound mixing.
They recorded one take for the entire game and when they wanted to record more they ran out of time.
Because they were told
Too sound american
Because there is this belief that the US audience wont like any English accents other than American ones
Boy it's like Xenoblade Chronicles Trilogy.
They use some of the same VAs
Reverse can have British accent, surely Wuthering can too.
And since Twitter likes diversity, how about different country have different accents down the line.
I mean, it's not bad...
People living in post-apocalyptic China speaking British? Where is this? Hong Kong?
Kuro is based in HK, actually
Just change English dub to Chinese one and problem solved🗿
Its English dub, what do you expect, Chinese? 😂
Idk why they just dont go with full on British voice acting
It’s okay everyone. They’re ditching the American accents so like everyone’s gonna turn British mid story when they finally get round to recording it😂
critiques aside the only voiced part I actually enjoyed was Aalto`s and Encore`s part during the main history the voice mixing despite not being good the music build up really helped the scene
"Sorry mate didn't realise i was playing Reverse:1999"
"YangYang can you sound a little worried, there's a hoard of enemies ahead of us ffs"
Bo oa oh waer
As an English person I'm extremely offended that you didn't mention "it's chewsday innit"
@@touyaoyagi it's chewsday innit bruv?
If there's anything that Xenoblade has taught me it's that we should try to give English voice actors a chance, who knows maybe it could be funny bad
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the VAs do their British accent in the next patches let it have FFXIV ARR treatment NO WAY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
I feel like Kuro Games is going for the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 approach with the english dubbing (having a mix of British and American VAs)
please please let them have british accent it'd be like xenoblade
emcore's va is the same as regulus from reverse:1999
also Fiora from the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise
and tataru in ff14
They will speak primarily in british accent starting from act 3 they said 😮
Hoyoverse English VAs are probably 99% Americans... while WuWa almost everyone sounds British
British accent might be a little hard to understand but it's the best if you want to voice over a game. Saying after hearing phrolova
Taoqi is the only character I refuse to touch until they redo her voice lines and *pick a damn accent* for her. It’s less noticeable with the other characters, but I genuinely can’t tell if she’s meant to sound American, British or Australian. I can’t listen to her voice in the story let alone in combat all the time.
You mean "Bri'ish" ? ☕
I mean i don't really mind as long as it has emotions and all (unfortunately that's not the case for some parts)
VAs are probably good but they can't put much emotion since they put too much effort already not sounding British
Always worth mentioning that this shit was rushed as hell, and that the voice direction was non-existent :(
I noticed their native accents would come out subtly every now and then, haha
Garnt: oi! Wuzzall dis den?!
the random ass npcs that were allowed to just speak bri'ish sound much more alive
when those uk accents accidentally slip out...
THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD BRITISH ACCENT. PLS KURO
The NPC sounds soo good than the mojority of the playabe characters. Just let the VA's speak on their native accents.
This is not that British, it's more like a toned down RP, which almost nobody speaks. Please, let them have accents from Manchester and Liverpool lmao
i absolutely agree with some of these comments - they shouldve just let them speak with their british accent. the moment i heard Taoqi speak i thought 'her VA must be british' so i did some research and she is. and it really annoys me. same goes for Encore ofc and a couple more characters. i do not understand. english doesnt boil down to american accent. its actually just annoying because it stands out so much and my immersion is ruined
Should’ve let them go full Xenoblade
Sounds hot af at times though, can't deny that 💀
most of the playable characters sound so unnatural and ai generated
I can understand them wanting the english to be as neutral as possible so people who are not native speakers can understand. My first language is spanish but can understand british and american, so isnt an issue for me. What i find funny is that only main/playable characters recieve this treatment. Every other character speaks in british, and use such a strong accent at times.
They should have just got some help from the team that does the Xenoblade Chronicles dub. They are absolutely amazing.
Every character should just have british with all its rich dialects
it does sound very robotic
Meanwhile americans sound like they slurred every word lol
@@hadesium I'll accept this accent when brits learn to pronounce the letter R like they did pre-victorian era.
This feels like a Xenoblade game wow
0:03 is actually the voice of fiora from xenoblade shes automatically s tier in my book, i dunno what youre on about
What do you mean by "what you're on about"
Are you trying to interpret something else from this video?
@@streetwiserhapsody isn't the video picking on their accents
@@rachaelrandomassname1848 No? I like those accents, even title says they sound British, that's it. Not sure why you would think that.
They would be so perfect for reverse:1999 lmaooo
you wont believe what im about to say
As a gamer with English accent, I smiled the moment I heard the accent. They must allow the actors to speak in their own accent
authentic english experience
Man, a Chinese region spoken in British. Made my day, but I am going to stick to Japanese. She did a splendid job with what they had to work with.
Wouldn't be weirder if they spoke japanese?
Why not just play in CN?
@@hongfeiwei2710To lazy to read to dumb to understand cn and jp, i stick with english
Chinese region spoken in Japanese is better than a Chinese region spoken in British? There's a Chinese voiceover, you know.
@@BiancoIsleDelfino The anime style makes it more cohesive and let's be honest the quality in the JP dub is only rivaled by the original, the EN problem isn't so much about the accents but about the quality.
EN voice sucks in wuwa, its not the actors at fault tho, it's the clueless directors and localizers. They basically told the actors to say a line without context and just guess what tone and emotions to use. Good thing i play on JP dub, quality as always.
Go do it yourself then
@@enzomiranda8485 even though im not a dub director, im confident that i can do a better job than what terrible job they did to wuwa, so sure hire me lol.
Also what kind of brain dead response is "gO dO iT yOuRsElF tHeN" to a valid criticism? If you find a bug in the game do you fix it yourself?
@@enzomiranda8485hate this mentality "this movie sucks" "make it yourself then" were the consumers bro not the makers
@@karioshima if you don't like somenthing just don't watch or listen is simple
@@enzomiranda8485 ok cool but without criticism games will fail which is the main purpose of beta testers and player feedback🤦♂️
Wutherblade Wavicles is real
"The Voice Acting is British AF in Wuthering Waves"
hmm... *even better*
I absolutely ADORE the british NPCs! They are the true MVPs!!! 🥰👌
Honestly this is hilarious to hear, not bad, but just different. Personally stick with JP because hearing Yui Ishikawa, the gacha game VA Queen as YangYang is ASMR to my ears.
Xenoblade vibe here !!
Taoqi, a director at the Ministry of Development. well... they are certainly developed good job there.
*First time playing Xenoblade chronicles flashbacks*
Kuro really fucked up - they forces british VAs to use american accent for resonators, and most of them sound from meh to bad.
As a result random NPCs sound way better than the playable characers...
God the voice acting for this game in english is so bad. I doubt it’s the voice actors fault, probably just bad voice direction where they didn’t know the contexts of the scenes
When are british football chants coming to Wuthering Waves?
Sound so AI but I know they are real ppl. And the voice quality is not that good when wearing a headphone🥲
minutes later...
Aalto: The rain aint ranin' properly innit?
Its British dialogue without the British accents.
Where is the petition to make all VAs speak bri'ish and sound natural?
NPCs remind me to Merchant on RE. I'm hoping they will do all out for British voice acting in the future, cuz I really enjoy how the way they delivered it.
Typical Hong Kongers be like.....
They could’ve been the xenoblade of gacha games man
that’s why Taoqi’s voice is annoying.
She sounds terrible, they should've let her speak with any accent she was comfortable with, it would still be weird but not bad weird.
They don’t sound British at all tho? And I heard a lot of Brits
how sad, how they recover from it
Xenoblade did it. What do they fear?
Kuro needs to free their acccents.
0:10 idk why encore sounds like she’s struggling so much😭 ENCORE VA BREATH ITS OK
Aside from optimization, localisation has got to be the worst thing in WuWa so far.
I understand and play with CN voice, but I use EN subtitles, and holy shit, they literally say different dialogues like half the time.
Remember the moment Changli's name appeared after being ??? in Jinhsi's dialogue? The EN dialogue doesn't even mention the name while the CN voice went "I understood / Yes, Changli" (something like that, i forgor) before turning from ??? Into "Changli" being displayed in the text box
Other than those 2, the game's great
JP > EN not even a debate
Lowkey kinda dig this
I have not blamed VA's. The game has many isssues with audio. Audio mixing for game is bad.
Im okay with this tho
I don't mind the accent or voices really. I just don't get the sound quality on some chars, feels like they didn't have a 'de-esser'
I honestly was amazed the first time I heard those npcs w/ british accents, I would love to hear some natural british lines in game coz like what the other guy commented, the lines were american, but the VA is brit, still I love it.
Kinda feel like Shuncai EN Dub is just British Sniper
Considering this game feels like Xenoblade Chronicles , why didn't they just embrace that and have everyone speak in their natural accents?
this is stereotypical and i hate it
This is one of the only games I do prefer the JP dub, they sound so bad putting up that american accent
