    I'm not a VA by any stretch of the imagination but i'm glad a lot of my same complaints about the voice acting/direction were the same ones Cyyu has. The fact it sounds like they kept the first take on some of these lines astounds me.

    • @kjelfalconer

      I suspect the issue is the fact that they rewrote a lot of the story in response to feedback from the beta, so they likely had to knock out most of the lines in a very short space of time. They probably didnt have the luxury of doing more than one or two takes

      @@honourwhitehill5918 Exactly on point. The fact that someone within their team, most likely a voice director and/or project lead, had to listen to these lines and think "eh... good enough" astounds me. I personally love the innovation they've done with the gameplay and combat mechanics, the overworld implementation, and the graphics... but my enjoyment really gets bogged down a few notches when it comes to the EN VA's direction and pacing issues with the lore-dumps and story beats. This was probably the first game, in quite a while, that I was forced into switching to JP VAs because of how EN VA sounded like it was hastily slapped together just weeks before official launch.

    To anyone reading this: DO NOT SEND HATE TO THE VOICE ACTORS. They did what they were asked (their JOB), and now DESERVE the respect and right to re-record (and be paid), because they're freaking amazing. Seriously, Rebecca Yeo (Yangyang) is an amazing VA and deserves the respect to re-record in her own accent, be paid again, and not have her voice modified to robotic levels.
    Now, my personal take is this: if you're going to have BRITISH localization, then allow your VAs to use their BRITISH accents (or Irish or whatever non-US accent they have)!!! It's sad when the highlights of the English dub are the side character VAs -- that's an issue. It would be great if they'd bring the VAs back, and let them re-record with their natural accents (and maybe hire a new voice director, because whoever thought this sounded good shouldn't have a job in voice direction), and pay them. The voices shouldn't have ever been overprocessed either.
    If Kuro is willing to scrap the original story (and other things they've redone for the players), then it's only logical that they would re-do the English dub. Just give us a British dub, because the "English" localization sounds fine when a BRITISH accent is used, since the localization is using BRITISH ways of speaking (except when they throw random American idioms in to make it "sound" American, then it's cringe). I'm willing to give the devs time to work on things -- the game did just come out.
    Outside of the dub, the game is great -- and the story really picks up in act 5 & 6 -- Genshin had this pacing issue, too (and still does sometimes). Anyway, just imagine Scar's British VA using his British accent...that would be fire.
    I just hope Kuro doesn't blacklist CyYu for having an opinion -- imo, he was respectful about it, and not ugly. I would love to see a character in the game voiced by him.

      yes Kuro Games already stated most VAs were told to try to don't do their British accents and to be honest that hurts some of their voice acting because they will be focused on not doing British accent instead of doing a good job and expressing the right emotions. There's also some VAs that just can't do that and are just bad sure, but I think forcing a person to focus on not doing their own accent may hurt some of the VAs performance. Also the voice direction for the game idk who was the voice director but the person should have done a better job guiding the VAs as well

    If anyone wants to know the current situation, Kuro Games has fired the Main and Second Writers, who let’s not forget rewrote the current story so far in 60 days, and have also fired the Voice Director. They are in the process of hiring for those positions. So if you’re worried about 1.1 let’s give them this time to see if they can recover. There’s actually a lot more problems behind the scenes than this tho. They def rushed the launch but Im hoping they can keep up with the punches.

    personally im worried that if they do change the voice direction later it won't affect the early 1.0 story, or that, because every character's combat voice lines are already done, they won't change those. and that's the big issue for me, the combat voicelines kinda suck for the most part. the lines themselves aren't bad but for some of them it sounds like they just recorded the first take of the line and then said "yup ok thank VA that's good" and then the VA is like "hey wait i could have done way better" and then the director goes "nah its good rn, okie byeeeee" and then we ended up with the voices we have now

    Overall I am loving the game and I am a huge lover of Genshin, I want them both to succeed and coexist.
    That said while I love the combat, the exploration, the character designs, the visuals overall, ext I also think the story is just missing something.
    I think people saying its so bad it cant be fixed are beyond overstating the issue. Its not as good as Genshins opening Act for sure (and lets be real Genshins opening Act was not great either) but it has cool ideas and concepts that just need to be properly built upon more and maybe work on the pacing. I can see the potential going forward.
    As for the voice acting...yeah it is a bit rough in the EN. Its seems to me like some of the voice over was rushed and it definetly feels like some of the VAs are struggling to use accents they arent comfortable with. The only one Id say is outright grating at times is Yangyang. Also Rover talks to much, I know we complain that Traveller doesnt talk enough but I feel the right balance was struck with Trailblazer. Sometimes Rover will just have voiceover at times that feels unnecessary XD

    • @Kuruyami
      @Kuruyami 2 місяці тому +26

      I think the big issue with the story is that they made a very common amateur mistake - they tried to create a complex narrative in their introduction. This is something that is very, very difficult to pull off, even for some of the greatest writers out there (Hell, even A Song of Fire and Ice has a relatively simple introductory narrative if you think about it). The reason why this is an issue, is that when an individual is first introduced into a story, there are a *lot* of things they need to learn already (they need to be introduced to the world, the characters, etc.), and they aren't going to be invested in understanding every thread out the gate.
      Especially when a lot of those threads are steeped in intrigue/mystery. We just got into the story. We don't have the background of how the world operates enough to try and figure out most of these mysteries ourselves, so we *have* to rely on NPC's to tell us.
      They should have started with simple goal, simple narrative, and then built more complexity into the story as it went on. The stuff with the lambs in the village, scar, etc. would have been potentially decent plot points maybe... 8 hours deep into the story? In many ways, I would say what they tried to do in WuWa would be like if Hoyo had made Penacony the first act of Star Rail.
      Now, that isn't to say you can't plant some seeds early on for that further depth. Hoyo's writers do it a lot, but it can't be the central plot.

    • @DotakuTube
      @DotakuTube 2 місяці тому +2

      @Kuruyami Yeah I can generally agree with that, still an issue that I think is very fixable by maybe easing up a bit in 1.1 but we'll have to wait and see. I definetly agree with the general consensus that the story is the weakest aspect so far but I do think it's a bit early to write it off as a lost cause like many seem to be doing already.

      Imo the reason the beginning is “bad” is because they tried to do too much at once world building AND building intrigue. World building is generally already pretty dry itself, but trying to add the mystery and intrigue this early makes it a formula for information overload. In which case, most people just ignore it.

    Tbh im not very picky with the voice acting and dont really have a problem with most characters voice acting especially npcs. The only characters i kind of have a problem with are yangyang's, since it sounds off when she finishes a sentence and the tone of the voice is always soft regardless of the current situation and female rover's bc it sounded off during the part in the library. Also i do agree with letting the VAs keep the british accent because their british accent is still peeking through anyway and im kinda sick of hearing the american accent in the games im playing. I'm sure the voice acting will get polished over time since it was probably rushed because of reworking the story and they didnt want to keep people waiting too long.

    It is not localization issue. If anything English translation makes the story easier to understand, sounds crazy right? Because the way it was written in Chinese is a werid mix of classical literature and made-up words...for a huge chunk of it especially in world building. Its like speaking in riddles. BUT in English they translated most of the made-up words into regular English like 'Sentinel', so it was actually not that bad.
    btw I'm Lv28 and finished chapter 6, the cut-scenes are cool but skipped most dialogs whenver possible, just like playing Diablo.

      It seems like Lingyang purposely does not talk like a normal person. But knowing his backstory, that makes sense why he doesn't talk naturally like the others. He also goes around uttering a lot of blessings and well wishes to his clients (makes more sense contextually in Chinese culture) in a formal way, so those sayings sound a bit strange when translated in English since in Western culture, it would be said in more casual terms.

    I think the main issue with the EN VA is mostly the direction and the lack of balance with the quality control. Some Recordings sound good. great even. but the ONE character they had to make sure was nearly perfect, Yangyang, felt like they barely gave it any quality control at all. and when you play as her, you can hear her potential. They are doing her SO dirty. It's so frustrating how it feels like they didn't care when it comes to her. I hope they do better in the future.

    The EN VAs did a really good job and i love it!. The concern/issue with Yangyang, i don't think its the VA but rather the direction that they told the VA to do her voice. She is clearly very capable and you can definitely hear it at certain parts of the story. However, for some reason the team who was in-charge of her dubbing direction had the VA go through that format of voicing the character. I do hope she stays and I do hope they re-record her lines & allow her to really shine more like the other EN VAs in the game.

Besides all the issues with voice lines cutting off, playing before they are supposed to, weird awkward pauses between lines or lines overlapping, doesn't matter if it's the same character or not, they just don't sound good in general. I know that part of it is because they aren't using their natural voice but to hear the inconsistencies in their voices when speaking takes you out of the immersion of the story and it sounds fake. Withe them doing these accents I feel like they aren't able to accurately portray the characters emotions and that's why it feels like I'm with robots instead of people.
