Maybe they should have spent less time enlarging breasts on the female characters and more on the voices. :sly:

Zhou Yu's voice, what were they thinking...
I'm telling you, Tony's doing the director. It's like a Helena Bohan Carter/Tim Burton ordeal between them.

Except Tony Oliver actually HAS talent, just underused.

Okay, I'll stop with my rants on the VA work and Tony now. Even IF they got a better voice for some of these characters, I'd still want the original Japanese voices in, just to have the option to switch it over every so often. If there are no Japanese voices, oh well, tough cookies on me. I'll just have to get over it.

If they do have Japanese voices, then I'll have a merry ol' time switching back and forth. For, you know, when I don't feel like reading subtitles.

Also, a good voice director can properly utilize whoever is available, even with a small budget. It's their job; they deserve no sympathy from me.

Koei US does not have anything to do with the character designs.

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.
"maybe they don't have the budget for it."

DING DING DING. WE HAVE A WINNER.
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.
Good point.

What Koei should also do is when they hand out the scripts to the Seiyuus, also give them to the VAs as well. That way, the voice acting for both sides can be done at the same time. Unless they already do this. In that case, something needs to be done (Mainly concerning the voice director).

Out of the new characters, Bao, Sima Zhao, Xiahou Ba, Zhoug Hui and Deng Ai are rather meh or bad. OF course we shouldn't jump to conclusions based on one line but still.

Which...doesn't even make sense since Japan does the designs. And in Japan, seiyuu's are practical celebrities.

Yeah, I'm thinking I was the only one that caught it, because I know I got a good chuckle out of that. :XD The internet, must learn to laugh a little.

Okay, I'm probably done for tonight. I'm sure you guys got enough of my 'RAWR TONY OLIVER AGAIN' for tonight, and maybe the rest of the week. See you guys for the next PV.

Ok, does Zhang Jiao's voice sound like his old voice actor sucked a cannister of helium before recording to anyone else?

I don't recall if DW3Girl ever admitted to playing DW6, so that logic doesn't really count for everyone. Remember there are some of those that skipped the game...

I know a handful of people who haven't touched DW6, so they literally have no idea what's coming.

Ok I just listened to all the voices and there is just too much to comment on.

All I want right now is Pang Tong's CG and voice. Now there's something I'm eagerly awaiting for.

Honestly, I dont know how you guys think the job of being a voice director is, not every actor is available at every time, and there IS a thing called budget you know.....
Not every VA is going to be available, yes, but the Voice Director's job is to take what he has and make it work.

In this case, however, there are some characters they REALLY could've had the VAs do a do-over. Someone pointed out that Xiahou Yuan & Lu Meng sound exactly the same. That should not ever happen. There's also no reason for people like the Qiaos, whose voices have gotten older over the years, to sound younger than their PS2 counterparts.

It just shouldn't happen with a good Director.

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
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.
Thanks for that.
Well, I got the voices to load, so here's the one's I'm not a fan of- SSX, Xing Cai, Sun Quan, Sima Zhao, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Guo Huai, Xiahou Ba, + Zhang Jiao. My reasons behind this are that SSX and Xing Cai sound like older women to me, like older older, Sun Quan just doesn't seem the same anymore, Sima Zhao and Xiahou Ba sound like teenagers (which annoys me somewhat since their muscled, it makes me think they take steriods!), Deng Ai's voice is too low for my liking, Zhong Hui is kinda the same with Sima Zhao and Xiahou Ba, since he's like tall and 20-30 year old looking, and his voice sounds like a snobby child, with Guo Huai, I just imagined something totally different, doesn't suit him (IMHO) and lastly, with Zhang Jiao- I hoped that he would lose the corny voice since his appearance to me seemed more serious, seriously.
In all, the voices aren't going to effect me with the game at all- I'm not going to jump to the decision to not buy it, ofcourse I'm going to. Once I actually play it, I'll probably forget about it. I just wanted to make my opinion seem important :p

Honestly I think alot of you are just suffereing from K.R.N.I.S.

Koei Reveals New Information Syndrome

Symptoms include nagging and hating, sometimes just for the sake of it being new information on a koei game.

No prob guys =)
But on another note, I am surprised by Liu Chan's voice. It's fine, but I didn't think he'd sound so old. His appearance led me to believe he'd be younger.

Liu Shan's voice is really good, I did not expect him to sound that way. I was hoping Sima Yi would have the DW5 voice, but this one is fine. Zhang Jiao's is a bit of a surprise! Zhuge Dan sounded the way I expected he would, almost.

Sima Shi and Zhao, Guo Huai, Zhong Hui, Zhuge Dan, Bao, SSX, Xing Cai, Jia Xu and Sun Quan, are others I like. ^_^

Combine KRNIS, along with general internet hatred of any english dub being inferior to the Japanese, and you've got general unpleasantness all around.

Well, if you've been here for 3 years and sat through all of this before, then can I ask...

Why, when you know it's going to happen, do you allow yourself to suffer? If it bores you, you can always step away from the computer and go play a game, read a book, or something else?

Just a thought. It's new information- every fandom does this. Why does it surprise you so?

(You should see the Bioware forums when they reveal new information. Same **** here, only with Garrus love, or more Dat Ass or Star Wars puns thrown in).

Quickly back to voices, Liu Chan sounds pretty good. Tony would have been good for him, but this choice isn't too bad either. Certainly wasn't expecting that.

Edit: Apologies going to come too late I'm sure, but I don't want you to think I'm running you off, Buddha.

I can see where you're coming from. I've seen it firsthand.

I actually have no problems with the English VAs as a whole. If there are no JPN VAs, it's not going to kill me.

It's just that I, and most of these posters, kinda wish that our favorite characters were done SOME semblance of justice VA-wise. Why change what wasn't broken in the first place?
