Am I the only person alive in KW that actually prefer English VA rather than Japanese VA?

Seriously, I don't understand Japanese.

Duh, I don't understand Japanese, everyone here doesn't understand Japanese. So, why worried about you don't understand Japanese?

I never hate English VAs, they just sucked.

Did I ever ask anyone to worry about me? I didn't.

No, you're not the only one who likes English VAs :mellow:.

I personally can't stand Japanese VAs in videogames... they all sound too similiar (probably because I have no idea what they're saying) and that constant shouting and screaming *coughDW3cough* just isn't my thing >_>.

No. Coming from someone who speaks and understands japanese, I prefer english voice acting.

...To an extent. When the voice actors blow, coupled with terrible excuses for translated dialogue (all ala' SW2), then they can all dissapear for all I care.

You see, there's several circumstances in the whole voice acting thing. Most will disregard any english in anime by any means at all, because they like to keep it 'pure' and other crap. Little do they realize that for the most part none of them no japanese and are at the whim of subbers, and that they're rabid only because they heard the japanese voices first instead of english ones. Those are the idiots. The ones who yell and scream for japanese voices and options in the games simply because 'its japanese lol'.

The second thing is the acting itself. All japanese voices are good or better, simply because voice acting there is a respected and cherished art, with the seiyu likened to celebreties, thus the sheer quality of all seiyu. However, american voice acting is different. As the industries are different, the ones in america place more thought on making money and dont really give a damn about anything else, whereas japanese companies are the opposite. However, when some companies manage to go a little more indepth, and invest more and think more and get the perfect voice actors, then english acting will outdo the japanese anyday.

With english VAing, it's either a hit or a miss. But if it's a hit, then English >>> (x10) Japanese. See: SW1.

Some people are complaining for the japanese voice option simply because they're clueless and want it just because it's japanese. However, some people actually stopped and took the time to see that KOEI has been dealing us crap recently, and we need a change. I'd much rather have the original, quality voices they gave us in XL, and not $5 budget crap. :)

I like japanese VAs in that... A lot of time the voice just "fits" better. Because the model was made to go with a voice like that. BUT I do like english VAs particularly for a game like DW/SW where I don't really have time to read every useless little warning that pops up. Like those idiots constantly calling for help, cause they saw a soldier in the bushes, by himself, on the other side of the map.

I can't help but think it's going to be a little ackward though... Unless they give the DW cast new voices. Because the DW voices are more cartoony and over localized.

What Hondamn said. English acting FTW.....when it done right.


The only Japanese seiyuu even I care about is the guy who voices Wei Yan and Guan Yu, and I don't even like him for those roles. Tatari no Warakia FTW.

The Japanese voice acting is only considered better because they put more emotion into it. You can tell when they are sad, shouting, etc.

Besides I liked it in Dynasty Warriors 3 because you could listen to any kind of move and make it sound like something else in English.

Xu Huang: C5 ''Get in the car!''
Xiao Qiao: true musou ''I hate Meng Huo!''
Ma Chao: C4 ''He Ya Yipee Yipee Ya!'' lol
Dong Zhuo: true musou ''I hate Dian Wei!''

ROFL ... since babysitting is used a lot in this game, I think I need English VAs for that reason alone.

I agree with you on that too. I can remember in SW1, you can see the fire/intensity in Yukimura's Japanese VA more so than in English. It just fit his character better.

But, overall, I prefer English VAs & I agree with Gairyuki that English can be better than Japanese, if done right. Since I don't speak Japanese, hearing characters in English is necessary because I like to know what's going on. I just wish I didn't have to listen to a ninja turtle's voice instead of a warrior's voice everytime Keiji shows up.

And Sun Jian's true Musou: "Tsan! Tsanman King!" ^_^.
Sun Quan's and Zhang Liao's true Musou quotes are also classic: "DABADAA!"

But I personally don't think that Japanese voices are more emotional than English voices. I mean, Vegeta is arrogant person in English version of DBZ (well, it depends from the dub) but close to normal person in original Japanese version >_>.

I don't think you can load either SW2 and DW5 save file to play Warriors Orochi.

But if you want the DW5 save file with all weapons, please go http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/save/925558.html (for PS2) and find.

You get it randomly. But you can only get in the 4-star or 5-star difficulty.

I have a few questions...

1.How is the character selection screen divided? Is it by Dynasty Warriors Clans and Sengoku? Or is it by the Musou Clans and Sengoku?

2.If I am to understand correctly, the stages in the game have been sort of destroyed by Orochi? What is destroyed in Honnoji? Let me guess....Nijo Castle, right?

1. dynasty warriors clans and sengoku.

2. every buildings in the stages have been destroyed by him. btw, the answer is maybe yes, because I'm not familiar with the name.
