I personally love Sun Quan's voice! he sounds awesome but who in the blue hell is Zhou Yu's VA?!
Someone who must go back to playing the characters he's good at. Someone that has no BUSINESS doing anymore voices as far as Koei's concerned.

Someone whom I shall push forth my unending HATRED of.

(Okay, really, I'm overreacting at this point, feel free to laugh)

All in all, it's doable. The ones that needed to be fixed (SSX and Zhen Ji) are done, but they broke a few others too. Sun Quan = Terrible. I feel for Jiahe.
yea i just played Zhou Yu's voice like 20 times now....yea this is going to take a while to get used to...thanks for ruining Zhou Yu Tony Oliver :angry:
To be fair, it's not completely Tony's fault. It's that damn voice director who keeps miscasting him. They need to learn what his range is, what his strength and weakness is, and utilize that. Some voice actors can change their range and do different character types, while others cannot.

Ugh... I guess I should have expected this. There was no way they're going to get Daran Norris back, and I'm sure Robert Klein was out of the question, though he would have been a relief.

Ah, well, whatever. Lu Meng is too sexy for a good voice.

My only pet peeve with him is that Lu Meng and Yuan sound like each other. It's not so much as RAAAAAAAGE as it is 'REALLY?'

And Tony Oliver as Zhou Yu was confusing? I'm alright with the majority of the english cast, my only gripe is Sun Quan. Just...WHAT. HAPPENED.

Who knows, maybe he was busy? Maybe he tired of DW? Its not always the voice directors fault.

Ouch I hope you guys weren't talking about me doubting Free Mode. I admit I had my worries!
Just kidding, I don't think I've posted enough times here to be known as a doubter :p
I'm just glad it's in, I was only wondering if it was- due to the fact that it wasn't really announce, not like it needed to be.
Anyway, on the voices;
I was only able to hear Wei's, the other forces don't load...
But I think they sound fine! I think the one's from DW6E sound the same, which isn't really a bad thing. I've played other installments but not enough to recognize voice actors.
Also, I keep reading about people asking/discussing the second PV. Now I know it hasn't come out yet, but where did this information come from? Like did an official state a second PV was on it's way?
Sorry if it's been ask. I don't necessarily follow page by page of this thread, not even the site :p

Okay I was wrong before. Tara is voicing YuanJi. Overall I like the english voices. The ones that shocked me though are Quan and Deng Ai. I'm gonna miss Quan's old voice. :sad:

But Shang Xiang's voice sounds tons better! :dance: Wendee Lee voicing Da Qiao agian, yes! I think she is voicing Zhen as well. :shifty:

I honestly dont get all the Tony Oliver hate, it seems you guys hate him not for his performances, but because he is Tony Oliver.
Is there any other reason to hate him besides that? No, seriously, I know my hatred is somewhat misguided- I just hate how voice directors seems so damn quick to throw him on characters he has no business doing.

Examples of Bad Performances:
SW1 Ranmaru (TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE, unless you're going in for a good laugh)
DW6 Special and Strikeforce Lu Meng/Xiahou Yuan= He cannot mimick the previous voice actors, nor their original Japanese voice actors (who are gruffy as they get); it comes off sounding forced and sounds like a moose with a nasal drip.

Examples of Good Performances:
DW4 Ma Chao
WO2 Lu Meng (which is a little different, as he doesn't sound like he's trying to puff his chest out and sound like a buff man)
SB3 Kanetsugu and Hideaki
And I thought he was okay as Muneshige in SW3.

I reiterate, I hate how miscasted he is. I just don't have a name to the one that makes the decision, so I push it all towards him.

For some reason in my head I mixed up Tony Oliver and Jamie Oliver...

I was like... what?

Man, this english VA cast seems worth it buying a PS3 and getting the Japanese VA version.

Yes they are on the American site. But it seems to be down now. :/

For me, it's not as much a "server unavailable" message as it takes so long to load that you're hitting to go back and try again.

Da's voice went an octave higher (then again, it was nearly the same in WO). I'm happy they changed Taishi Ci's voice. Zhen sounds remotely the same while Quan's voice change got me off guard, but I'll get used to it.. About the only voice I do have a problem with is Jiang Wei's. What, was his last one busy or did he also fell to the same fate as the likes of Steve Blum?

While I don't hate Tony Oliver as much as most people, the only character I want him to voice is Hideyoshi, if only because I think his Lupin III voice would fit him.

Yeah, I think it was Koei's Japanese Twitter page that said there would be more PV video's over the next couple of weeks and that they would be Kingdom centric.

it's pure stupidity and laziness of the voice directors. i hope i get used to it soon. He sounds arrogant now and not cool at all. ah well let's see how he sounds in battle. Although playing it like a million times now i probably will get used to it.....hopefully

Blame the Voice director...blame the voice director.

I know that a lot of these voice actors can be good and have done good VA's before. Just blame that damn voice director...that stinking douche of a voice director. He/she is the reason why people keep begging for Japanese VA option...

Blame the voice director. That's gonna be my mantra regarding VA complaints from now on.

I would've liked to have both, because honestly I prefer some English voices to Japanese and vice versa. Maybe after listening to them for a while all of the voices will actually grow on me as they usually do.

It's hard to understand...how the VA Director can hit some voices, but completely miss on others?

It's almost mind-boggling. If it isn't broken, there's no need to fix it.

Yet... :facepalm:

Me thinks Koei would be better off taking a page out of Jeff Nimoy's book and have the fans decide on who should voice who. Then again, maybe they don't have the budget for it.

That's why there are FANS and not FAN.
There are opinions and opinions, if budget for option A is too much, there is always a B, C, D, E, F, G etc instead of giving us voice actors who do not have the spirit of the character.
