So Oshi Castle is basically the only version of Hideyoshi's 1590 Odawara Campaign? I'm cool with that.

Siege of Odawara Castle - East/West (Toyotomi) was sadly overused in SW2. I believe all characters who appeared in the stage had it in their Story mode and Hideyoshi was probably the only with unique version. Motochika and Yoshimoto also had them in XL. Kotaro had both East and West but at least he had his own versions of the stages since he didn't fight with Toyotomi.

Nope, there is an Odawara Castle stage. Hanzo, Nene, and Ina, from what I remember, get it. I'm sure there's a few others that get it, too.

It's more like some of the characters get Oshi Castle and some get Odawara Castle instead of the East/West Odawara in SW2.

Ah, okay. I haven't played as those three, yet. Now that you say that I remember this cutscene where Hanzo and Nene fight against Kotaro!

Pretty good trailer ;)
Ok,are we still talking about VA ?
Komatsu:She need her SW2 VA,not that extremely low voice
Okuni:WO neh ? Like her SW2 most,her SW1 was pretty hilarious,I love it too
Kunoichi:It's better than her SW1 !!! Just heard 1 line and guess worse than WO
Hanbei:Can his voice be any lower ?
Mitsuhide:Sound like an SW2 generic !
Toshiie:Neh ?
Keiji:I don't mind his SW2 so I can live with it
Nene:with no high pitch ? heavy accent ? good grief
Kichou,even your Jap VA isn't as good as SW1,what have they done to you >.<

Since I my play time with SW1 is 100% Jap,I will go with tradition.F Eng VA

I think the early assessments of the English VAs are pretty accurate by and large. However, I'm willing to give some things the benefit of the doubt. From the video I've seen thus far, I would say 70% of the issue lays in the translation while the other 30% is miscasting (or perhaps misdirection)

I'm not sure how many of you know how these games are actually recorded, but the fact is, the English VAs are given a thick pamphlet containing lines of dialogue. The difference between this script and any other script is that it contains ONLY the dialogue of that one character. The VAs often have no idea of the context in which these lines are spoken and rely on the voice director to fill in the blanks (something as simple as saying what the other character is saying! lol)

If you have a great director, this limited script can be worked around; however, if the director too isn't too clear on the story or characters, this is where everything falls apart. My VO friend in the states I often speak of has told me many times about the difficulties of dubbing these games. It doesn't excuse a poor performance, but helps me as a fan to understand why something often gets lost in translation... :)

THAT being said, I can't wait to play this. And I'm hoping to see some more of Nobunaga and Motonari..the character I'm most excited about ^_^

I'm very agree with your idea of that VA thing. I have the same thought. :lol:

I agree with your assessment, Nobunaga22.

I have a feeling that the voice acting will be decent.

The trailer is looking REALLY good. I really like it.

I heard Hanbei's voice again... I think it's bearable.
His character selection clip however WAS bad and I'm pretty sure everyone thought allll of his lines would be that awful. But in the gameplay it didn't seem as bad.

I'd have to say that I'm not too upset with the voice acting. Sure it's not good but I don't mind it at all. You guys all had me worried that it REALLY WAS THAT BAD.

Honestly only like three or so voices bothered me(Hanbei and Tadakatsu especially!) but the rest range from passable to quite good. I thought Hideyoshi's was actually quite fitting.

I might take a trip into town and see if they have it in stock now, they might have ordered some in over the bank holiday?

Joetri, any luck getting any Motonari video uploaded? Not trying to be impatient, just was curious if you were able to capture any of it yet... ^_^ Many thanks again....

Did you by any chance receive a text from GAME? Because if you didn't, it's unlikely it'll be in. Same with GameStation...

Ah well I've already ordered it from Play.com since Friday and my status still says 'Packing', how long does the packing process usually take? (I know it was bank holiday on Monday so...)

I have unlocked Motonari for Nonunaga22... Gameplay Will be uploaded like the rest of them, so you can hear the VA... Toshiie has also been unlocked as someone said there wasn't even any gameplay of him O_O... I will also post what Lord Rizal asked.. And I will show what Fukashima sounds like (Even though it sounds nothing like it should be... Its very serious sounding)

All that will be posted sometime in the next 12 hours :XD

I played through Magoichi's Story and from what i gathered... This is the same Magoichi From Sw1 and 2.. It seems Magoichi did infact survive! after that gunshot and did not die in sw2.. Hmmm :/.. Ohhh Koei and there crazy minds :whistle:

So, is Johnny still Yukimura, or what? I haven't been home for five days, so I'm a bit out of the loop in terms of what's going on.

Seraphil and I should have videos up when the time comes, though.

I'm sure everyone has noticed that already, but here are the clan colours I found out anyway:

Akechi: grey
Azai/Asakura: light blue
Date: green/black
Hojo: black/red
Imagawa: grey/brown
Mouri: yellow/blue
Oda: purple
Saito: green
Tachibana: white
Takeda: red/white
Tokugawa: blue/black
Toyotomi: yellow
Uesugi: white/black

Maybe I got something wrong. In that case please correct me :)

A bit late to the discussion on VA but here's my two cents~

I feel listening to them that they're not horrible and some will eventually grow on me but there is that lingering thought where some of the voice actors would have suited other characters better. Kenshin for one would have sounded better with Hanzo's voice actor and vice-versa (this thinking back to the other games). Same with Kanbei and Motonari. Other's voices seem okay but as many people have complained... Hanbei's doesn't fit. xD; It's too deep/old for his appearance. But the others will be tolerable for the most part.

And would it be possible for someone to eventually post up some Motochika and Noh footage? I'd love to hear their voices. A huge thanks to whoever does <3!
