I'm not buying Guilty Gear or Blazblue now.
For those not aware, Blazblue since the Deluxe DLC release of BB2 (Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend) have had bizarre issues with their localizations: such as no quality assurance. They've cut corners that I've never seen before outside of games like Zero Wing. At one point, they cut content because they didn't feel like localizing it. They've changed voice actors due to 'scheduling conflicts,' and then have characters with two different voices at once.
I understand that BB and GG are niche games, but after a strong localization with BB1 and BB2, they've been kinda just been screwing with the oveseas releases more and more to the point of being insulting.
Oh, just so everyone knows: While Aksys publishes the games, they don't localize them. Aksyslocalized the first two, then Arc system works switched to some no name discount localizer that no one ever heard of.
On a side note: For everyone who says the dub doesn't matter: If the characters having line don't matter, then why do they have lines at all? Surely Arc Sys could have saved even more money by just having some programmers use grunts and groans. Or maybe just have the sound design use synth effects
At the every least, I actually do enjoy the lines characters spout during fights. For example, Makoto's lines during CSE were amazing! I suppose you can take away the lines as being 'unnecessary', but you can also take away the sprites suppose and just have hit boxes on the screen and it'll be the same.
