Japanese voices always better than English in Koei.

Tadakatsu has the same voice of Sun Jian in WO and SW3. it doesn't fit him at all.

His SW2 voice was much much better.

I wouldn't say always. JP Ma Dai is extremely goofy sounding, and sounds better in English albeit a bit boring.

I want SW2 dub back.
Yes, hello, are you me.

DW5 dubs are probably my favorite for the DW series. I mean, yeah, there was squeaky Xing Cai, but aside from her, I think everyone else overall was acceptable.

The problem with English is they keep changing the voices unlike Japanese. If they put a voice actor he/she won't change until he/she dies

That can be attributed to Koei being money grubbing as all get out when it comes to localizing. They go with the cheapest dub studio they can find, and if previous VAs can't come work right when they're dubbing it or can't use the studio due to union contract issues, well, tough luck to them and their fans.

Pang, no one said you don't like them.
Swan said that if people dislike the voicework, that that's their opinion.

Xiahou Dun in JP is awful. Oddly enough, I like his Dian Wei and Masamune Date(Basara). Gan Ning needs to stay in JP forever, his and Zhou Yu is awful in ENG(iirc, he's also Sasuke in Basara, which is just about perfect). Lu Meng and Ling Tong, however, need to stay in English-they're both more condescending sounding(Ling Tong with his sarcasm, and Lu Meng with his general asshole-ness)

SSX is awful in either language, as are the Qiaos. Lianshi is fine in both languages(but a bit cuter in JP-she sounds more playful), Wang Yi is fine in both languages, Zhen's JP is better. Diaochan is bad in both languages(too whiny), Cai Wenji, sounds sexy in both languages

etc, etc

I see SW2 has the best voice acting
DW5 has the best voice acting in whole Koei games

I think the worst Japanese VA is Xiao Qiao on pure irritation factor.

Usually I do prefer the Japanese voices on how they sound, but then I do like an English dub so I can tell what's going on without having to have my eyes glued to the subtitles.

I prefer SSX in English ("prefer" used lightly)

Her Japanese voice sounds very squeaky to me

To me both Xiahou Dun voices are great. Eng and JP

The voces that didn't change since Dw4 and DW5
Xiahou Dun DW4
Ma Chao DW4
Lu Bu DW5
Cao Cao DW5
And these actually have the best voices in DW now. I miss Guan Yu's voice in DW5. Crispin Freeman was the boss.

Xu Huang's JP voice is so much better than his English one

Lu Su's too. He had such a deep, sexy voice and then in English he just sounds like Sakon... =/

Anything is better than Taigong Wang's JP voice actor. If I ever get round to playing WO3U, I'll mute it every time he comes on screen.

I don't actually like Xu Huang's JP VA either, too shouty for his calm personality.
