because you care about the things you like and you would like others to like what you like to

I know that feeling very well

becuase that thing had an impact on you and you want your close ones to feel what you did which is a cool feeling if it does happen

it's like when you watch a video of a fight or area you really liked in a game only for the person playing to call it garbage or trash

Ive seen a lot of fairly respected people not like 7R

This feels more divisive than kh3's release which makes sense

seeing the ff7 community makes me appreciate the kh community more ?

Mb I'm just a degenerate that moves mushy waifu sims

according to my friend who is part of the fanbase va's get death threats

Tifa's jp va got a threat

Because fans didn't think she sounded young enough

wtf

<.<

Nani shes cute af

Yeah kh3 was nowhere near this bad with drama. I imagine it's cuz of how beloved 7 is

I mean, she sounds good tho

FFVIIR had a lot more going for it than KH3

Or, Kitase started this shitshow by saying "the VAs had trouble sounding younger" which meant death threats to the JP VAs, and SENA panicked and fired all the English VAs

Fkn Kitase man, didn't realise his word was law

Yeaaah, I doubt that

Well this is what I heard

I know it's true for the death threat thing

I'm not sure on how true it is for the second but I'm working on finding out

Western VA and Japanese VA don't work the same. VA in Japan is much bigger, which also means more beloved, which also means more cause for people to be assholes

Oh yeah, I know that

VA's there are like tv show or movie celebrities in the west

Takahiro sakurai IS cloud

I'm not saying the western fans kicked up a fuss about this, in fact it didn't even register for most people

But SENA heard it and panicked, apparently Nomura was also trying to get all the VAs, jp and English to sound younger and they were all having trouble with it

I can believe that, Nomura listens into recording sessions often enough

I'm not sure if I can believe this is the reason for wholesale firing just yet, but it does make sense with the given reason of "we wanted a fresh sound"

Regardless none of the directors or producers wanted the VAs to be fired I know that much

I recently found out that western VA's are forced to do cold readings. They get absolutely no prep time to go over their lines or anything. This goes for anime and Japanese games, I think it's different with western stuff. But that's such a bad thing to do because the quality you can get out of a VA isn't the same through a cold reading than through proper prep time to do it.

Seems like whatever the reason was, it was square and or sony

Do you mean readings with no visuals?

Huh, I didn't know that

Well that definitely puts another spin on things
