Really not feeling it.
I admit i'm not a fan of many American anime dubs, and this is giving me those feels.

 

[Squire]

So which one is Troy Baker?

Gladio.

Seriously. It sounds like he's played by Troy or Matthew Mercer.

*prays that the Japanese audio is featured as an option for the Western release*

 

[Hindl]

At first I thought it sounded horrible, but it's just one guy. That high-pitched guy is annoying as fuck, the rest are fine

 

[Qvoth]

this can't be for real!

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

It's okay I guess. Was about to cry when I heard their first lines though.

 

[Ruff]

I lost it at the english accent guy talking about a bath.

 

[muzzymate]

How can this finally be in my native language but make even less sense than the subtitled version? Looking forward to this one whenever they get it finished.

 

[orochi91]

It was so completely random lol

Tabata mentioned at the Japan Expo that they were going to try to include dual voices.

 

[Asd202]

This is me listening to this trailer

[SoraanTribal]

I don't even know what to make of this. It feels so weird to hear these characters in English when all we've ever heard was Japanese... I really hope they offer Japanese language options as well. Hmm.

 

[Heartfyre]

Noctis-ohgee. Noctis-ohgee, NOCTIS-OHGEE!

I'm quite happy with the voices themselves, though the audio mix could have used some more work.

 

[TuXx]

Noctis and Prompto's voices are terrible.

 

[elmars369]

English voices actually aren't that bad.

 

[Yoshichan]

Sounds good to be honest.

Can't believe this game is actually happening.

 

[Frumix]

Was fine until the BAWTH

 

[HyperOne]

Tabata mentioned at the Japan Expo that they were going to try to include dual voices.

We can only hope. Heaven help me if English is the way I would have to listen to the game.

 

[quesalupa]

They're not horrible! And Ignis is a straight up boss! Noctis could be a bit lighter, though.

 

[koutoru]

The lip sync is probably going to be fitted for the Japanese voices anyway, so I'll just stick to that.

 

[SoraanTribal]

They re-sync the lips for the English releases, though. They have been doing that for a while now.

 

[Hexa]

This is so bizarre. After hearing the Japanese version so much (by which I mean like 5 minutes over and over again) this felt off.
SE put Japanese voices in the PC release of FFXIII right? Hopefully they'll do the same here.

 

[dramatis]

It bothers me that someone has an accent when presumably they're all from the same country, but okay.

Will need more than one trailer to judge the performances.

 

[Flarin]

Prompto and Gladious sound pretty spot on. As good as I could have expected. Can't say I saw Ignis with a British accent coming. Noctis' voice sounds a little deep as well. Will wait to hear more in the demo before making a final judgement.

Either way, I hope they make the Japanese VO available so players can enjoy both.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

That high-pitched guy is annoying as fuck, the rest are fine

What but he was the best voice and so excited lol.

 

[Twookie]

I sorta liked the voices, dunno if they're good or if the voices are just a sign of the game actually releasing in our time

 

[Chilikar]

I'll be honest, I wasn't looking forward to hearing them... but they turned out to be pretty good.

I think I hear an accent from all four of them, so that's pretty cool. I think some gaffer's wanted to hear them have accents

 

[Asd202]

Dude he's supposed to be smart you can't be smart without British accent.

 

[Geg]

Voices are fine for the most part but I was definitely thrown off by Noctis sounding deep and gruff lol

 

[RocBase]

LMAO WHAT

 

[Nachos]

They don't seem to have gotten any of the usual actors for this one. This could be good.

 

[Acquiescence]

Tabata mentioned at the Japan Expo that they were going to try to include dual voices.

Oh really?! That's music to my ears, thanks man. I'm so used to the Japanese voice cast now after all these years that I don't think I could play XV starring Troy Baker, Yuri Lowenthal, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Johnny Yong Bosch and Troy Baker.

 

[PaineReign]

IDK, I think the voices are fine, but I am personally just impressed by the music again, it really is fantastic. They announced who the composer is already, right?

 

[komorebi]

They most likely will considering this game is guaranteed to come to PC, PS5 and PS6 to try and recoup the development hell.

 

[Mortemis]

...I'm going to need a while to adjust, seeing as all these years I've only heard Japanese.

Doesn't sound too bad though, just weird.

 

[Camisado]

I lost it at the english accent guy talking about a bath.

Same, when this game comes out in 5-20 years time the OT better be "FFXV |OT| - I need a barrrrrrrth."

 

[Sciortino]

After listening to Japanese dub for years this is extremely weird. Anyway the voices are alright I guess. Noctis at least sounds pretty good but maybe a little too deep.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Weird. Too used to Japanese voices. BUT Ignis , the best character so far, is even better now! Effing British! They nailed him!

Also, Noctis's voice is way too deep. Doesn't suit him at all. And one of them sounded like Troy Baker. Watched on the phone so coudn't make it out, but I thought it was whenever Noctis talked. In any case Matthew Mercer is likely in this.

 

[SPAW]

lip sync seems way off, but I am actually comfortable with all the characters expect Ignis.. he just sounds to much as a pretend wizard from Shakespeare... not OK.

 

[Roubjon]

Sounds like a dubbed Final Fantasy game, which is great to me. Looking forward to it a ton!

[komorebi]

This will change though. They probably just made a quick dub over the Japanese trailer.

 

[Slowdive]

IDK, I think the voices are fine, but I am personally just impressed by the music again, it really is fantastic. They announced who the composer is already, right?

Yeah, Yoko Shimomura.

 

[Heartfyre]

Yoko Shimomura. Yes, we're getting a whole Final Fantasy game's worth of Kingdom Hearts/Xenoblade music. Probably what excites me most about the game.

I'm somewhat curious as to why they didn't show this at PSX. Sure, it's been a week since, but this would have been a nice reveal. At least some some of the bitterness out of the whole FFVII debacle.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Job well done matching the Japanese VA then? Hee hee

 

[Dark_castle]

Out of fucking nowhere!

The dub is actually pretty decent as far as American localization goes. I still hope they keep the dual language option.

 

[sublimit]

Not liking the English voices at all. I guess I'll stick with the Japansese voices.

Did they confirmed that the english version will have dual audio?

 

[birthbysleep]

Not a fan. Sounds like a bad anime dub. Noctis isn't too bad though.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

I still find it weird that these four dudes drive around in a convertible, approach some wild animals in their natural habitat, and then kill them with swords.
