Speaking of, why are the characters in so many rpgs always British in the English dubs??

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

Seriously, it's odd

[Otti#8624 26]

Are we talking about JRPGs?

If we are talking about western then I think it's because it fits the genre better

British (and surrounding countries) english sounds better than the american ones in fantasy

I am more curious as to why japanese stuff almost always gets dubbed in american english

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

Yeah, talking more about jrpgs since this was from back during the metaphor chat

Like, a lot of the more recent ff games are British in western releases

[Otti#8624 26]

Isn't it just 16

And i guess there is Tactics but that's an older one

These two and Metaphor are the only ones I can think of doing this

Xenoblade games have a pretty strong british cast

[Otti#8624 26]

Riiight

[Otti#8624 26]

How could I forget

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

14

[Otti#8624 26]

Why is my memory failing me so much today

[Limen 10]

Xenoblade 1 specifically has a British cast because it was originally picked up by a British localization team before Nintendo decided they like the series iirc

[Limen 10]

so 2 and 3 probably just follow the same boat by picking up British talent

[Otti#8624 26]

But this one also has the same team as 16, so kinda makes sense to me

[Limen 10]

(and X)

[Otti#8624 26]

I can't remember now, but did FF12 have the accents too

2 was whack because for some reason they just had some american accents in there too

[hawk222_1550644792 16]

See, 12 did, but primarily for the empire folks. In that case it made sense, as a way to differentiate between regions and whatnot. But if they're all British from the beginning, that's my focus

[Limen 10]

oh i still haven't played them so i wasn't sure, but i did remember 3's trailer being british that's why i brought them up lol

[raiden94 1]

Ff 12 was 50/50 about it iirc

I think the only American in that cast that was a main character anyway was Vaan.

Black Myth Wukong's English dub was all British too I believe; and that was Chinese

Dragon Quest usually is too; it's fine to me, I think most of the time it works honestly.

[RengokuXHummus 0]

Omg

You guys are actually talking about Xenoblade

How did I miss this

[raiden94 1]

Yeah yeah whatchu know about them Blades of the Xeno, Clown?

You're the closest thing I got to a "Xenoblade" guy lol

[RengokuXHummus 0]

Bro i wrote about Xenoblade 3 in my government essay about morality and legislation

[ElectriCole 5]

that's based af
