I'm not sure how accurate it is but IMDB suggests Steve Blum was Xiahou Yuan in DW6, but not Sun Jian. These games need to credit their voice actors more specifically. :(

I hope Crispin Freeman voices Guan Yu again in 7, but not holding my breath.

Surprise character is possible, maybe first Other forces add. Although I`m not sure that there are high chances of it.
I hope not... Other's will be worthless for Kingdom Mode, I'd rather see some of the important officers that have, as of yet, not been included in Wu/Wei/Shu/Jin.

I'll agree the older dw games (3 especially) were filled with goofy "so-bad-it's-awesome" lines, while in later installments it's been "decent but unremarkable" to "i suppose it works..."

Though i've felt this was the same in many other productions outside of koei too.

It might just be me, but when i happen to hear an episode of DBZ:Kai recently, sure, it was the same actors redubbing the same episodes, but they'd lost that feel of "fun", in the original us dbz the dub seemed to convey a feeling that the voice actors were having a blast acting crazy into the mic, probably joking around and adlibbing here and there and generally having a good time, but the new one felt more.... professional, in a bad way? It felt more forced, like they had to do a good job, instead of just yell like a nutjob and laugh at each other.

not that i'm a huge dbz fan or anything, but it's the only example i can come up with at 6:30 am.

I'm betting that FLAMING IDIOTS line took about 12 tries due to laughing.

short version: Voices in a lot of things these days don't feel like they're as fun to do, and more like a job, and that's kind of sad to think about.

edit: i see some mentions of pang de. inb4: :realangry: deal with it he won't be here omg go complain in the complaints thread :realangry:

heh... ;)

Koei have not confirmed Pang De's existence one way or the other, so cool it. I'm free to say what I want, and considering it was only a cursory mention I'm quite justified - I wasn't even being serious...

I agree with the voice thing. It seems general, across a lot of anime's I watch. The vigour has gone sadly. I'm hoping for good things when I hear the English VA's, there are a few characters I want them to nail, and if they do I'll be happy.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten him... that voice was absolutely horrendous, made my skin crawl. I have nothing against Zhang He, it's just that the voice they gave him was dreadful.

Glad all the countries are getting it around the same time, no massive waits for anyone hopefully ^_^

There should be a very very enhanced edit-mode, which includes self-made-voices.
You know, there should be an option, where you just can "add" Robert De Niro's sayings as the sayings of Cao Cao, and Al Pacino's as the ones from Liu Bei. Remember that scene in DW5, where Cao says to Liu, that he will become his enemy. Now imagine such a scene in DW7, or better and more believable in a very later DW-Game, with the scene from the movie "Heat", where Robert and Al are sitting face to face.
Besides, i expect something like that in the absolutely last DW-Game from Koei, the perfect game. Just only with this, that game would never lose replay-value.

I agree, Iwanted to stab the screen when he spoke in empires. Although since SF4 was being dubbed around the same time,that might have been the reason DOug erholtz did not reprise the role for six.

About the voice discussion earlier...
Yes you guys are right, DW tends to get less goofy than before and somehow try to be more cliché and serious.
I'm not against goofiness.
But I do find that the voice acting in DW6 superior to the previous installments.
Even though I don't like the character designs of that game, I still felt their character through the voices.
There are some that I hate, like Zhao Yun and Sun Shang Xiang. But if I take the examples of Sun Ce, Sun Jian, Cao Cao or even Liu Bei (I prefer his voice in the previous games though), I don't know about you guys but I think that their characters stood out because of the voice actors really being IN to their proper characters.
This is obviously not what the majority of people think but...meh =)

I agree with you!
Voices like Sima Yi's and Sun Ce's took a step forward, the former having a much better VA, but alot of characters disappointed me like Shang Xiang and Zhang He.

One person's voice who is probably worse than SSX in regards to how bad it is when compared to previous voices is Taishi Ci. I've only played DW6 Empires so I don't know if that's what he sounded like in 6 but....Dear God.

In regards to 7 can we please have Xing Cai's voice and attitude in the English version match her original stoic and mature Japanese version and not some friggin Valley Girl as seen in the English dw5 and wo1 and 2?

Agreed. Awful voice, far too young sounding and just generally wrong. Bringing back his epic DW5/WO voice would make me happy, and probably make him rise a bit in my eyes.

Just listened to all the character English voice of DW7, gave it 8.5 out of 10. Very pleased, all my favorite characters have awesome voice!

@Beegleek Already got the voice sorted you will hear it from the site probably tomorrow or a day after, both of their voice are very good.


From Chin's Twitter :)

Either on Wednesday or Thursday, the English voices will be up on the English DW7 website :) Something odd, though...

Lu Bu, Sun Quan, and Liang Shi still aren't even up on the page yet xD Maybe that will get added when they add the English voices.

I just wish the English website had all the other stuff that the Japanese one does. Like that in-depth explanation of Chronicle Mode.

I know I want that info too but we'll probably get the EX attack info this update and the conquest mode info next site update but it makes sense to keep the english sites a few weeks behind so as not to reveal too much too soon.

Chin's post makes the future for the english va seem hopeful but I'll jus wait for them to appear on the english. Again, I mention I want to see from the pv mainly ma dai and his brush of justice.

I have a feeling Ma Dai is gonna be like Sai from Naruto Shippuden, where he paints things & they come to life and attack. Well, maybe not, but that'd be super awesome..

Yeah, tell me about it. I do hope to see more gameplay in the next PV, too. I'm really hoping that characters have their own unique move sets & charge moves with their default EX weapons.

Because a lot of the dao users seem to be sharing that downward slash attack + the crowd clearing one.

Plus, how is Cao Ren's ball & chain style going to differ from Dong Zhuo's? How's Yue Ying's & Zhou Yu's bo staff forms different? So many lingering questions..

I hope for this as well.....

That won't be the only news for this week though, its said there will be another PV as well... Hopefully this time it'll show more gameplay like the one with Sima Zhao.
