LISTEN TO ME - JP vs ENG (FFXIV: Dawntrail spoiler)

Not really sure what happened there.

[Playerpoi]

The english is so bad in this scene, it lowkey ruined the trial for me. As if I wasn’t sick enough of wuk lamat already.

[Varichan]

that was terrible. That's what english listeners subject themselves to?

[Tashiro]

that "Listen to me" is the worst voice acting i've heard in my life.. the japanese voice is so intense and really want to stop her, but the english VA is just.. reading a text on a paper...

[jegudielyusha]

i only tolerated wuk lamat, but her VA is... wow... terrible. the comparison between JP and EN VAs basically intensified that opinion.

[kyoai]

Every time this trial comes up I wish I had a macro to switch voice actor language on the spot, the English VA is terrible when it comes to shouting and emoting anger.

[AxeMain]

Someone better lost this role because they weren't trans. Sad

[gamermaster]

If the EN actor shouted too hard, They would've sounded like a man, so this is the result. The actor was trying to maintain a feminine voice throughout the whole expansion

[thetrashcanman]

If this isn’t a lesson to ppl to stop using dubbed then idk what will be

[mickbotcast]

It just worse than most Eng Dub I ever remember, and it is freaking climax scene... see that why we choose not DEI hire someone.

[leemontime]

I mean i do like the jp va but it doesnt give me a hrogthar vibe

[KnightRaymund]

The problem is the voice DIRECTION, not the voice actor. She can and does emote just fine in other places. She was clearly not given the proper context of this scene.

[NYCZ]

I find it hard to believe that was the best take they could get from the English VA. VA did a good job overall but here I blame the person directing the voice talent.

[Sov-Ryn]

Never noticed that. *still gives Wuk Lamat head pats and tacos*
