Im js living

Speaking of, why are the characters in so many rpgs always British in the English dubs??

Seriously, it's odd

Are we talking about JRPGs?

If we are talking about western then I think it's because it fits the genre better

British (and surrounding countries) english sounds better than the american ones in fantasy

I am more curious as to why japanese stuff almost always gets dubbed in american english

Yeah, talking more about jrpgs since this was from back during the metaphor chat

Like, a lot of the more recent ff games are British in western releases

Isn't it just 16

And i guess there is Tactics but that's an older one

These two and Metaphor are the only ones I can think of doing this

Xenoblade games have a pretty strong british cast

Riiight

How could I forget

14

Why is my memory failing me so much today

Xenoblade 1 specifically has a British cast because it was originally picked up by a British localization team before Nintendo decided they like the series iirc

so 2 and 3 probably just follow the same boat by picking up British talent

But this one also has the same team as 16, so kinda makes sense to me

(and X)

I can't remember now, but did FF12 have the accents too

2 was whack because for some reason they just had some american accents in there too

See, 12 did, but primarily for the empire folks. In that case it made sense, as a way to differentiate between regions and whatnot. But if they're all British from the beginning, that's my focus

oh i still haven't played them so i wasn't sure, but i did remember 3's trailer being british that's why i brought them up lol

Ff 12 was 50/50 about it iirc

I think the only American in that cast that was a main character anyway was Vaan.

Black Myth Wukong's English dub was all British too I believe; and that was Chinese

Dragon Quest usually is too; it's fine to me, I think most of the time it works honestly.

Omg

You guys are actually talking about Xenoblade

How did I miss this

Yeah yeah whatchu know about them Blades of the Xeno, Clown?

You're the closest thing I got to a "Xenoblade" guy lol

Bro i wrote about Xenoblade 3 in my government essay about morality and legislation

that's based af
