a handful of you seem to not have enjoyed the VA's overall, although i'm not afraid to say that i derived pleasure from listening. perhaps because the VAs could be much worse? and whether or not we believe it, along with the VAs all the characters do seem to have life and vigor to them, which can be well worked with
Oh I'm fine with everyone else, Zhou Yu I don't like but I dont like him anyway

But what they did to Zhong Hui is a crime, he shouldn't sound like a high pitched imbecile

He should be a calm, arrogant, and have a slightly deep voice...
I agree, his voices does indeed sound arrogant and some would say that means it fits him but.....It does not fit his appearance. It totally doesn't fit how he looks at all.

whoever the new SSX is it's a HUGE improvement. Laura Bailey is Yue Ying so I approve, Is Zhang Jiao different this time?

All around I'm very pleased with the voices. Some changes are going to take getting used to but they're far from awful. I like Guo Huai's a lot.

50/50.

There are voices that stick well to characters like voices that do not stick completely. Da Qiao has changed her voice? If yes, I like. I think that voice is more mature. I also like the voice of Cai Wenji, Jia Xu and Ma Dai.

Otherwise, the voice of Bao Sanniang... she is too... irritating... :/

I come to back to the weapon thing :
"Unlike Strikeforce, each character will have unique moves for their proper weapons," explained Suzuki. "If characters equip that weapon, they will be able to execute an EX Attack with it. Characters will also have two unique Musou Attacks for their proper weapon giving them more of a personality rather than having generic characters that can use any weapon. "

I think it's not clear and some may have misunderstood.
From what I get, he says the only unique moves for each characters are Musou attacks and Ex attack.
It does not say that part of the S-String + charge attacks are specific to each characters.

For some reason, I thought Jiang Wei was going to soound more mature.

Other non-matched voices:

Sun Quan - Everything seems out of place with his voice, they should have kept his youthful voice.
Deng Ai - i think he should have been more monotonous without the robot vibe.
Zhang Jiao - I assumed his voice was going to change along with his look; good thing he's not one of my faves.
Xiahou Ba - why Koei!? He's not THAT young! What a turn-off -_- Shouldn't the guy voicing Lu Xun also did him as well?
Xing Cai - It sounds like they gave her a grown woman voice, instead of her straightforward one. I assumed she would be serious, but not that serious.

As for everyone else, Koei did exceptional well with the VAing this time around.

Yet again, another case of Miscast Warriors. Lots of good voices, all for the wrong characters. Lu Meng, Guo Huai, Sun Quan, and several others sound great... but are really not those characters.

Then of course there's the straight-up bad ones. DW7 Zhou Yu makes me miss the guy from DW5XL. THAT guy.

O_o Wait wait wait, doesn't Zhou Yu have the same VA from 6/6:E. And do you know the name of the guy who voiced him in 5XL?

The funny thing is Zhou Yu has NEVER had a consistent voice actor in the dubs, he changes in every game and expansion.

I haven't played DW6 or Strikeforce so I don't know how this compares, but the voices all seem a lot better than DW4 and 5 to me and in line with the ones I liked that were in the Orochi games. I think they did a good job as a whole.

- The only ones I am negative on are the 2 obvious ones (Zhong Hui and Zhou Yu) and Xiao Qiao.
- I also never liked Zhao Yun's English voice, and this time around is no different. It just feels way too over the top and hammed up.
- Sima Zhao and Deng Ai's voices really surprised me because they sounded MUCH better in the English PV. Zhao just sounded really weird and Deng sounded too forced compared to how much more natural he sounded in the PV. However, I'll wait to judge those 2 as it could just be in those lines chosen.
- I think I prefer the Japanese voices for Lu Xun and Xiahou Ba, but the voices aren't bad ... just seem a bit "off".
- Bao doesn't really affect me much because it fits with her Japanese voice. Similar goes to Jiao. He is the same voice as before, and while it might not fit the new look neither does the Japanese voice, which I think Koei did on purpose (making the new look so different from the classic voice which they didn't alter).

I would have to hear more from the cast to do a full judgement. While I do still hope for Dual Audio (because I'm used to the Japanese voices because DW4 Hyper and Orochi Z are my most played DW games and thus I've heard those voices more than any dub ones), I am overall pleased by Koei's efforts this time around. I really enjoyed most of the Wei voices and thought all the females, minus Bao and Xiao, sounded great.

DW7 Zhou Yu sounds like he got his balls kicked in by Xiao Qiao.

And the guy in DW5XL sounded like he a huge chunk of something stuck in his throat so he could only enunciate his words from his lips. Half the time his voice was so weak you couldn't hear him clearly. But at least he KINDA sounded like Zhou Yu. This guy doesn't.

I'm guessing because it is the Eu site so they will only put it up when the Spanish, French, German & Italian voices are also ready

Also, if you people will notice, the screens mostly have been replaced with copies that contain English text, even going far back. Only the newest ones contain the Japanese....

Another reason why Wei is best. Good voice acting, lol.

I'm pretty pleased with Wei so far (others not so much). Very glad to see they kept most of the cast from DW6, especially Zhang Liao's VA; that guy is far and away much better sounding than Michael Mconnohie.
I'm pretty sure Doug Stone will reprise his role as Xu Zhu, Travis Willingham will reprise his role as Xu Huang, and Doug Erholtz will do the same for Cao Pi. Overall, GREAT voice cast for Wei!

N-no, Seraphil, no. That DW5XL voice was the most horrendous, awful, most inconceivable thing to have ever laid it's existence on the face on this planet.
...okay, I'm exaggerating a lot, but I truly hated the XL voice that much... ugh. xD

I don't have that much of a problem with this DW7 voice, but then again, I didn't get in a very good listen. Doesn't fit his face at all though.

I do not have any issues with anyone's voice its just like SW3 no one sounds crappy. Which I like, I would prefer everyone having decent voices than having a few that make me want to cut off my ears. And for once all the women sound relatively decent which is a shocker I was suspecting the Qiaos and Bao to scar my ears but yet they haven't.

On a side note is the new PV up yet?

Okay, so I just finished listening to all the English VA's and...

I honestly think it's pretty decent; at least they have most of the original cast.

For the new voices, well...

Cai Wenji
Good voice for her: elegant, courteous, and passionate.

Sun Quan
Not sure why they decided to give him a deeper, more serious voice. His original voice was perfect for him: still a little young, but full of pride and duty.

Lian Shi
I really like the voice, though for me, I think it would've gone better with Xing Cai.

Ding Feng
I could go with his voice, not too barbaric yet not too boring. Though I'm sure he'll sound a little more rough and battle-hardened when he's fighting.

Xing Cai
I understand that Koei's trying to give her a more serious appeal this time, but honestly, I was happy with her WO English VA. A little high-pitched like DW5, but not as super-feminine. It was perfect for her IMO. Again, I would switch her's and Lian Shi's VA's.

Bao Sanniang
Wow, I can honestly say I expected a much higher and possibly more annoying voice. But this one is good, not too high, yet not that deep in pitch.

Ma Dai
Again, a good fit for his character. The fact that it's pretty laid back yet still sounds like he knows his way around the battlefield is good in my book.

Liu Shan
So glad they didn't decide to go with a high-pitched, dimwitted sounding voice for him. This voice at least gives him a sense of duty and awareness of his responsibilities.

Zhong Hui
:OMG: :facepalm: Definitely not a good voice to go with his look. Yes, it does remind me of a rat, and it's just too arrogant-sounding.

Xiahou Ba
I think his voice might just be a little too young for him, but other than that, I have no problems with it so far.

Everyone else, aka everyone else in Jin, no problems here.

Oh yeah just noticed that, thanks for the update!

Getting even more excited about the game now, you can kind of imagine what battle each of the screenshots with dialogue represents.

When Zhang He says about "people are drawn to the three of you" I wonder who he is speaking to? Zhang Fei, Guan Yu & Liu Bei? Cao Cao & the Xiahou's? Cao Cao, Dian Wei & Xu Zhu? Yuan Shao, Yan Liang & Wen Chou? God knows!!

Also Guo Huai "your father would be rolling in his grave" - really hope this does mean Xiahou Ba is going to defect to Shu in the game, would love to see him popping up to support Shu in Kingdom Mode and nobody knowing who it is because of his helmet.

Liu Bei speaking about "not retreating because of his people" seems to be signal that that screenshot is perhaps from Chang Ban.

Also, has it been confirmed as to who Zhao Yun is speaking to in the Chang Ban screenshot when he talks of rescuing Liu Chan? I know somebody said it could be Zhuge Liang.

Hmm..

For some reason, I thought Jiang Wei was going to soound more mature.

Other non-matched voices:

Sun Quan - Everything seems out of place with his voice, they should have kept his youthful voice.
Deng Ai - i think he should have been more monotonous without the robot vibe.
Zhang Jiao - I assumed his voice was going to change along with his look; good thing he's not one of my faves.
Xiahou Ba - why Koei!? He's not THAT young! What a turn-off -_- Shouldn't the guy voicing Lu Xun also did him as well?

OMG , plz don't tell me that Jiang Wei voice is is too young and doesn't fit him coz that will kill me ! :OMG:
My last hope was his English voice is he a new VA ? I can't hear it coz the site crashed ,, :sad:

gee... harsh enough?

These VAs are hired for a reason, and I think his voice was good. Besides... it's just a sample.

Don't have to go ripping on him before the game is released... not cool
