>tfw looking up what artists are doing for white day and it's just photos of them being outside having a normal life instead of constantly producing more content to post on the yuri board of a Laotian horse racing forum
https://numan.tokyo/anime/Rj446?page=3#item408271Rika won yet another fem poll, this time the question was "Which character do you want to give a gift to on White Day?" by the female otaku magazine Numan.
FUCK SWORDS
>>3907713If only these two were the only protagonists, I could have at least tried to play the game...
>>3907976Meanwhile, I played the game initially because of Mòrag and Brighid.
>>3908259ah, the marnietaur
>>3908259I hope whoever drew this gets a disease
>>3908286I don’t really understand why that one got deleted
>>3908329Just cause it exists doesn't mean it needs to be posted.
Any new Etié art?
What made this pairing explode back then? What made you love this pairing? To me a big part of it is knowing Edelgard's fate in the other routes. To see how far she's willing to go for her ideals and the price she'd potentially pay really cemented her character and her relationships to me.
>>3908710they look good
>>3908710El character mostly and i love yuri
>>3908710El's cute and the dynamic works good. I don't actually like the pairing as a whole because Byleth is such a blank slate it's painful and El carries basically the entire thing on her back. Byleth really should have been a talking protagonist like Alear, it's kinda ridiculous they went with a silent blank slate protagonist for their attempt at a more mature setting.
>>3908710Other routes?
>>3909115Silent Byleth is still a better character than Alear
>>3909120I dunno they're basically the exact same, Byleth just never talks for some reason.
>>3908710Edelgard was always the most magnetic character since the game's first reveal and the only reason they probably didn't do the online player stats thing for Three Hopes is because it would probably be Black Eagles-dominated again and also because recruitment is more route-specific and situational.Besides Robin, female versions of avatars are always way more overwhelmingly popular.So it was really just a matter of raw volume.Byleth having a very neutral personality from what little glimpses we get basically let you form any characterization fans could want to play off Edelgard's straight man persona.>cool, suave older girl that can pierce Edelgard's emotional armor>autistic anime girl>easygoing older sister type of character that Edelgard has to nudge around>borderline feral forest girl that somehow lucked their way into a teaching jobSo people had a lot to work with.
>>3909115Byleth being a mostly stoic character with a few weird quirks is exactly what makes the pairing with Edelgard worksI wouldn’t want Edelgard to fall for a wallflower or a giga-Stacy.
>>3909137I think viewing her blank slate silence until the game lets you pick a (usually) meaningless dialog option as deliberate stoicism on the character's part is way too generous. Like that's how they try to handwave it away by going oh she's the dreaded ashen demon and has somewhat stunted emotions but that's always been a cop out to aid self inserting. You can write stoic characters who still speak, and Byleth having maybe 5% of Edelgard's dialog tops is a really jarring asymmetry. And it brings the pairing down when Edelgard pours her heart out for like 10 dialog boxes in a row and then gets overjoyed at Byleth's single bland line in response.
>>3909141At some point you need to de-couple the story with real life game development, and as with all fan content, be able to pick & choose what to highlight.Do you immediately think the game is trying to appeal to the Chinese gaming market if the player character goes to a Chinese restaurant for fried rice? Probably not right? Then stop thinking about how Byleth's lack of dialog, which the game actually at least tried to justify with in-game reasons, is only for appeasing the losers that love to imagine they're Byleth.
>>3909147But that totally is why they do it, the stoic label only somewhat works because that's their in-universe excuse for why Byleth has next to zero dialog. Otherwise yeah it really is to help self inserting. Fates and 3H were even marketed with 'this time, YOU'RE the hero' type nonsense so it's pretty clear cut.
>>3909174I'm saying you're breaking your own immersion by constantly making connection between ingame elements and the real world.I like the stoic Byleth being a source of strength for Edelgard. I dont have to or want to sit here to first convince myself to hate her because of the self insert implications and then try to overcome that mental obstacle before allowing myself to like a piece of fanart.
>>3909243nta but if people are discussing a ship like edeleth this is obviously a topic that will come up. not everyone can get over the downsides of self insert ships and that's fine
>>3909126Which makes her less annoying, therefore better
>>3909141Sure but that gave fans and artists a lot to work with, which helped the ship popularise. I’ve seen a million different personality types for Byleth in fanart depending on the artist’s taste, from aloof teehee girl to dom older mommy.
>>3909276That's true, though that could be seen as a testament to how many skilled and creative fanartists there are out there rather than a strength of the character. I think a story where Byleth actually talks and converses and people analyze her conversations with Edelgard and treat her as a character and not just a mouthpiece would be far stronger than what we got.
>>3909294Nah because if she had the typical female fire emblem heroine personality like toothpaste Chan or the white haired chick from the wii game me and many others wouldn’t have been as into her, because these developers don’t do stoic mercenary muscle badass female mc’s. So I’m happier this way.
>>3909137I agree that I can’t see Edelgard with Bernadetta, no matter what that ship’s fans say, but Edelgard/Dorothea is a good pairing.
>>3909137Bylethtards devoid of taste as usual.
>Start playing Engage>Chapter 2>"No love for mom? I don't think I have seen any fanart with her.">>3909443Well, at least there's 1.
>EngageSo who exactly are the lesbian options in this game once you apply the uncensor patch?Tried googling to find out but I noticed that the articles are all "censored" versions, because Anna is not listed, the one character I distinctly remember who's romance caused all this to begin with.
>>3909126Byleth not talking has the major upside that she also can't be utterly retarded like Corrin seemed to be for a large part of Fates
>>3909935is there anything better than lesbian squincest?
>>3909966
>>3909966>>3909935I like it when Callie tops.
>>3909440Dorothea literally goes with Petra though. I dont feel the need to see that broken up, and Dorothea serves the friend role much better for Edelgard
>>3909973they take turns
>>3909991It’s called multishipping. I ship both Dorothea and Edelgard with multiple other people who are suited to them to varying degrees.
>>3910093>multishippingI don't do that since I'm not a zoomer. I typically just follow a fandom for its flagship
Fuck it.
>>3910146
>>3910152y she cryin
>>3910217Cuckqueaned, that's why.
>>3909684Every girl
>>3909935That is one dapper Callie.
Missed opportunity. Could have been the best ship in the series.
>>3911140
>>3911141
>>3911079Mercedes needed more girl supports, Dorothea got to flirt with Edelgard and Petra.
>>3911079Meh.
>>3911300trash taste.>>3911299point is Dorothea would have worked well with her.
>>3911079Agree. I wrote the first chapter of a fic where Mercedes wrecks Ingrid, with the intention of the second chapter being one where Mercedes and Dorothea, who are already fuckbuddies, wreck her together. I never actually followed through with writing that second chapter though. Should I?
>>3911393Rape is kind of a shit tier fetish desu
>>3911403Who said anything about rape? Learn to read.
>>3911393Yes, definitely. Ingrid deserves a thousand gay wreckings.
>>3911418Oh so you're just writing Ingrid as casually gay already and it's not a conversion thing? Okay
>>3911393Please do. There's not enough Mecie/Doro fics.This pic is something I commissioned a while back. The ring is Mercedes has is the one Ingrid gave to Dorothea during on the paralogues in 3H.
>>3911393Sounds shallow
>>3911393If it's good, I will draw something to compliment it.
>>3910470>Every girlIs this real or are you pulling my leg?I'm kinda iffy on ivy after hearing her talk and was thinking of pivoting to someone else. Problem is none of the other girls so far are really interesting either.No wonder this game got no post-release hype
>>3911663Yes, they let her marry everyone.
>>3911668>Can snog the tanned spinsterDayum. Sucks that this game was censored then, the meme potential of marrying some of the girls could've made it a cult hit at least
>>3908215This.
>>3911663>Problem is none of the other girls so far are really interesting either.But Yunaka!
>>3911871
>>3911668False, you can`t married your mom and that is a tragedy ;(
>>3911669Even as is without any patches, there's still some good things in there.
Isn’t Shez/Byleth a popular ship? Why don’t I ever see it posted here?
>>3912073I never actually see much, especially yuri of it. its cute though. I think the fandom moved on pretty quick since engage came out so soon afterwards.
>>3912073In what reality is that popular. Byleth also only needs one ship.
>>3912073>Isn’t Shez/Byleth a popular ship?No, not at all.
>>3912073It's not really popular. And Three Hopes was a total nothingburger of a game desu
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/106421958
Edelgard is a fucking cunt why can't they just draw Dorothea instead?
>>3912073I don't think it's popular because a lot of people didn't take kindly to Shez effectively taking Byleth's place. One can argue the pro and cons of the decisions, but fact is that's it basically Omega Force putting in an OC to fill the MC role while Byleth, who got marketed pretty heavily, ended up being barely in the story.
>Engage Ch10lol Alear is a dumbass. I miss Byleth so much. At least she didn't come off as a pathetic loser when enemies get the upper hand on her
>>3912073>Isn’t Shez/Byleth a popular ship?No? Bro, stop listening to /v/, you stick any random shit that looks vaguely like a news article or a tweet in a fucking image macro and they'll believe it. I know because I've done it.
I freakin wish Shezleth was more popular, they're cute.
>>3912109That art is hot, thanks for posting. >>3912121Hmm, guess the person who told me wasn’t as plugged into the fandom as I thought. I normally prefer Edeleth, but in Hopes, I think Shez is Byleth’s best match. No one else can understand Byleth’s situation like Shez can. >>3912148Was it really that bad? I know the endings weren’t great on purpose, but I heard the writing was stronger in other places. >>3912341They are. I think the ideal ending for both of them would be to get together and take over the mercenary company from Jeralt.
I was more into shez/lysithea, their support is cute and they can double date with byleth and edelgard
>>3912373yeah I think Shezleth was more popular before people played the game and saw the Lysithea supports. now its mostly for people who really like enemies-to-lovers or people who were autistic about Byleth dating the students.
>>3912299How can you miss a forgettable silent protagonist with no personality? All people like about her is her dumb boob window that makes no sense from a combatant standpoint.
if Gravity Rush were Nintendo, I feel Kat and Raven would have got enough attention to be an all time yuri vidya couple
>>3912414I bought a PS4 just for GR1 and GR2.
>>3912414One wonders.Gravity Rush in the same time frame would've probably ended up on the Wii U, maybe sold okayish if it was one of the Wii U games people ate up ravenously, then probably escaped Wii U jail and gotten a Switch port eventually and enjoyed a healthy amount of success.At the same time though, if one of the Splatoon pitch meetings had gone differently it could've ended up a Mario franchise. A gravity based open world puzzler when that was starting to be one of Rosalina's signature abilities could've had it go the same way.As an aside I always found it hilarious that Nogami and crew while making Splatoon forgot Super Mario Sunshine even existed.Still, their color schemes alone make them top tier.
>>3912421>>3912448Gravity Rush/2 are fantastic games, they just never found their audience on Playstation.I just don't know why, it's not fair
>>3912463Well, there's a movie supposedly coming out. They could play up Kat x Raven.
>>3912490>don't promote games>close down studio>make movie years laterI don't understand what their plan is
>>3912505Maybe they had the ip lying around and thought “that’s a waste, we should use it for something “
>>3912401>one you can headcanon into being a stoic silent hard mercenary>one is canonically a pathetic idiotHmm I wonder
Why are bylethfags like this
>>3912587Babys first self insert. They did it with Shez too despite being the best self insert since Robin
>>3912401Why does Byleth upset you so much
>>3912401I, for one, think it's a very smart boob window.
Mina you sly thing, I know you read here!
>>3912937sis, that image is from 2021
Zephia won
>>3913065wot?
>>3913065Kind of doubt we'll get to romance her though... unless we're bringing all the new characters over to our timeline.>>3913076Wave 4 dlc was announced today and alternate world good guy versions of the four hounds are playable.
>>3913090Oh those forgettable saturday morning cartoon villains.
>>3913090https://twitter.com/SerenesForest/status/1638531787516157956We do bring them back to the main game and they have supports.
>>3913105>using Marni to defeat Marni sexually of course
>>3912937I know, but she totally reads here. That's why I shared that, as if to say, please draw another beautiful Doromercie piece. Wink wink.
Don't forget to get your Splatoon shirts.inb4 you're too fat to fit into even a Uniqlo medium
>>3913313Dorothea is for Byleth and sometimes Petra
Ingrid is for all the gay girls to unleash their sexual frustrations upon, particularly Dorothea.
Damn, where tf is this artist's hentai bunker? >>3909935
>>3913706Best art so far
>>3913755fanbox. doesn't seem like he's finished that drawing yet however.
>>3912558>I miss her solely because of my headcanonWow. Never thought I'd see such a desperate excuse.
>>3913852You just hate the very notion of silent protagonists. But yes, i vastly prefer a silent protagonist to one that actively annoys me
>>3913706Mercedes is a better choice. Occasional foursomes with Byleth and Rhea.
>>3913852>look guys, I can shove a stick up my ass so far that shit spouts out of my mouth!
>>3913879I'm not talking about Alear, I'm just baffled that someone can "miss" Byleth when she's a non-character, it's like if you missed Mark from the 7th game. So much so that Byleth actually hurts the game since she's the only one who can romance others and it's hard to get engaged in a relationship when one of the two is a silent mannequin. The Byleth in fanart might as well be a made-up character every time. >>3913976Posts like these only make Byleth apologists look worse you know.
>>3912937>>3913313>>3913706Lol I found one in my folder from the same artist
>>3913992>it’s hard to get engagedClearly not with how popular the pairing is. Have you ever thought maybe it’s just you that’s the problem here?
>>3914002I take it you didn't read the whole post. People aren't engaged with Byleth, they're engaged with a made up character wearing the skin of Byleth, and Byleth's the only one who can romance characters to boot. I'm not against making Byleth different from how she actually is in-game you know, I have pics of her after all.
>>3913820Is any good Splatoon stuff on the fanbox? Couldn't tell from previews.
>>3914154Who did Geeta murder?
>>3914172Most likely Larry. Poor Larry.
>>3914009Byleth isn’t the only one who can romance characters? And your point doesn’t change it’s clearly not hard to care for most people, just admit you hate the existence of silent protagonists and buzz off
>>3914182My bad, nobody else in 3H can get a lovey dovey marriage proposal cutscene without Byleth.>And your point doesn’t change it’s clearly not hard to care for most peopleI already explained my point but okay, go ahead and ignore it. Not like I expected anything else.> just admit you hate the existence of silent protagonists and buzz off I don't, I just can't get engaged when another character has to do all the dialogue for you in a relationship because you're silent and can only do robotic hand gestures. Neither can most people apparently since, like I said, fanart Byleth is always different from game Byleth.
>>3914190>I don’t, I just doThe fact that people can portray their headcanon is byleth’s strength Byleth hater. Byleth is a canvas, as opposed to Alear who’s like a dumb picture. Notice how much fanart each has gotten and you’ll see what people liked more.
>>3914194 >>I don't, I just doI explained my problem with Byleth but go ahead and pretend like every game with a silent protagonist has love sim mechanics.>Byleth's a canvasThat's what I said, how fanart shows that everyone just makes up a new character in their mind onto her that's not as robotic and boring as the actual Byleth.>bringing up Alear again all of a suddenYou're not reading my posts. I couldn't care less about Alear or anyone she can have a relationship with. I care about 3H because I like the characters and I wish Byleth was able to reciprocate the others' feelings more, especially since she's the main character and thus has a core focus in the main story and support conversations.
>>3914194All your arguments are so painfully dumb it's funny but "characters not having writing makes them good actually" has to be my favorite so far. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
>>3913992>Posts like these only make Byleth apologists look worse you know.Byleth "apologists" aren't acting like the fun police here.
>>3913992>So much so that Byleth actually hurts the game since she's the only one who can romance othersTell me how you didn't play the game without telling me.
>>3914232Yeah, pretending a silent protagonist of all things is anything more than that is pretty apologetic I'd say, don't put it in quotation marks. I'm not policing anything, either, I'm just pointing out my disbelief.>>3914233I don't recall anyone being able to reach S rank support with a marriage proposal cutscene without Byleth. Oh, wait, you're talking about the classic Fire Emblem A support ending paragraph thing where one line mentions "oh btw they lived happily ever after" (and it only appears sometimes, lord knows it's missing from the Hilda x Marianne one), yeah, I concede that, but I think you can notice the difference between that and, say, a whole CG of Edelgard tearfully hugging Byleth.
>>3914215You want Byleth to have a distinct personality like Corrin or Alear and this whole discussion has been about people preferring what Byleth was to characters like that.
>>3914222Except that it's actually "mc not having writing makes them good actually", because it gives the player the option to self insert of fantasize whatever traits they like on their mc. Yes, I vastly prefer silent Link over the Link from the CD-I games where they gave him a personality and character as you prefer, just one that's absolutely annoying as fuck. The same goes for this discussion.
>>3914258Plenty of support conversation especially the A ones are clearly romantic in nature. And considering you routinely bitch about byleth and anyone who enjoys them you absolutely are the fun police.
>>3914308It's not the characters themselves that are being made good by being self inserts though. You just like the self inserting experience itself.
>>3914304This discussion was about someone saying that they miss Byleth and I was bewildered as to how can someone miss a silent protagonist with no personality, to which I was told that they don't actually miss her, but rather a headcanon version that they created in their minds. All the replies since have been me pretty much repeating myself because they don't like me pointing that out for some reason even though they admitted it themselves.>>3914309I legitimately don't remember any, maybe through shipping goggles but there's no confession or anything. Dorothea tries flirting with Ingrid but she immediately gets shot down, are you talking about stuff like that?> And considering you routinely bitch about byleth and anyone who enjoys them you absolutely are the fun police.Like I said, I'm bewildered at how can someone have fond memories of a character that doesn't exist, and indeed I was told that they don't, they like another character they made up in their heads.
>>3914411>to which I was told that they don't actually miss herthey do though, they miss the mc entity that was Byleth as opposed to the new mc entity they got
>>3914413They don't though, they explicitly told me they miss a headcanon version of her that they made in their mind. Your headcanon doesn't magically transmit to the actual character, just your fanfic version of her that you wish was actually real.
>>3914417This isn't about character though and the fact that Byleth is an open canvas is literally part of her characteristic as a mc. It's possible to prefer a blank slate mc to a mc that isn't a blank slate but has a divisive personality and miss that blank slate mc of the previous game. You're just dumb and want to endlessly argue about how you're right and people shouldn't like open canvass mc's.
>>3913820>>3914142The answer is no, there is no Splatoon art (or R-18) on their fanbox.
>>3914318Well excuuuuuuuuuse me, princess. Are you, by any chance, the same asshat that polices the yuri game thread too?
>>3914421>This isn't about character thoughYes it is actually, it's literally what I've been talking about since the beginning. That's the whole reason why people don't defend what Byleth actually is in-game but rather point to the fact that they like their headcanon that they made up for her. That's something separate from the character itself and to attribute that to her is just dishonest.>is literally part of her characteristic as a mcNo, a headcanon is not pertaining to the character itself at all, that's something you willingly did out of your own volition precisely because Byleth is so boring and robotic. The sheer fact that you have to create a headcanon for her is proof in itself that Byleth is boring and unmemorable, because you're using your imagination just to get something out of her, and that has nothing to do with the character itself.
>>3914427you paid?
>Sothis can make science babies>Byleth gets Sothis' powersCan Byleth make science babies with whoever her wife is? Rhea knows how to make (admittedly shitty) ones, so Rhealeth can definitely have a big family.
>>3914433That literally is what people are defending, her as a blank slate without any headcannon applied to you blind moth
>>3914451Meanwhile in reality, the very first reply proves otherwise>>3912558

>>3914455The fact that byleth is headcannon friendly is part of her qualities as a mc.
>>3914455I'd rather take a headcanon over a certified retard. Are you also bitching about the Agent 3/Agent 8 pairing because of this?
>>3914464I heard some of the english voice acting is actually pretty shit. Is that true? Might go JP then.
So, officially Ash is outwith lucky, the female protagonist could become like gudako and we had regular content with her and new girls from pokemon
>>3914501Refer to >>3914433Headcanon is not part of the character any more than a fanfic is canon. "Headcanon friendly" just means the actual character is so bland, boring and forgettable that you create your own separate version in your head.>>3914519I already addressed this, read the conversation.
>>3914587Headcanon friendly means it's easy to headcanon as opposed to headcanon unfriendly such as with mc's as Corrin and Alear where it's not easy to headcanon because their shitty personality is there you self important git. Shut up already you keep repeating the same points and refuse to accept any other opinions on mc's that differ from yours.
>>3914587Abloo bloo bloo. You can bitch and moan all you want, nobody gives a fuck about your colgate colored trainwreck of a character, the sheer lack of artwork should tell you that much. Now go away and complain to someone who CARES!
>>3914599I keep repeating it because you people keep repeating the same shit about how Byleth's blandness is actually somehow a feature, it's like you never read my posts and just cover your ears. It's as retarded as saying a shit story is actually good because "it's easy to imagine how it'd be if it was actually good." You make no sense in your Byleth apologism since you keep admitting that you don't actually like her since you keep pointing to your headcanon, which you for some reason think it makes the character good somehow.>opinionsThis isn't an opinion, your headcanon of a non-boring, non-forgettable Byleth is objectively not a trait of the canonical Byleth who's as interesting as a mannequin. You don't like Byleth, you like headcanon Byleth that you also see in fanart, and those two aren't the same.>>3914609Thanks for proving that you don't read my posts. Like I said before, I don't like Alear, whoops, there goes your whole point.
>>3914610I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. SHUT UP YOU CUM GUZZLING WHORE!
>>3914610She’s literally a silent protagonist, being able to headcanon absolutely is a feature… It’s like you’ve never heard of a silent protagonist before with how baffling your arguments are
>>3913852Headcanons form the basis of all fiction and entertainment, anon.
>>3914618>featureNo, it's a byproduct, of lazy writing at that, and overdone to hell by countless games where the writing has to be carried by everything except the main character. Not to mention, like I said, you imagining a non-boring Byleth doesn't make Byleth magically non-boring, I don't know why you keep pretending otherwise.Also, she has actual dialogue, you know, those "choices" you get everytime you enter a support conversation? It's just that they're the most boring and generic lines ever so she's not even as headcanon-able as, say, a silent RPG character. When daddy dies she can't even wail or say anything either (even though she has no issues saying cheesy shounen lines during combat gameplay), all she can do is make a slight frown. She's not even blank, she's actually canonically bland and robotic.>>3914624I'm sure it does.
>>3914634Ok so clearly you just hate the very notion of silent protagonists and are ranting about it using Byleth.
>>3914635Never seen someone have such a huge chip on their shoulder.
>>3914637It’s amazing they made it trough the game with how frustrated they are by playing a silent protagonist, dude was probably seething the entire time
>>3914587>>3914610All fiction is make-believe anon. Contrary to what capitalism wants you to think, there is no difference between canon and headcanon, as it's all equally fictional. Who cares if something is official or headcanon as long as it entertains you?>>3914634>I'm sure it does. Fiction is meant to inspire the imagination, and headcanon is that in practice.
>>3914641In practice, Byleth is a minimalist piece of art, which this poster can’t appreciate
>>3914635A ton of my favorite games like Chrono Trigger and Metroid Prime feature silent protagonists so no. I already explained it here >>3914190 and here >>3914215. I'm glad you finally stopped repeating the headcanon thing though.>>3914641I agree, not sure why you made this post though, kinda seems like you've been misreading mine.>>3914644You might as well say all silent protagonists are minimalist pieces of art.
>>3914649>You might as well say all silent protagonists are minimalist pieces of art.Ding ding ding, we have a winner!Also Samus isn't actually a silent protag. Samus had a monologue as early as Super Metroid.
>>3914651You'll notice that I said Metroid Prime, not Super Metroid. Easy mistake, I know.
>>3914638Maybe a silent protag stole his girlfriend. Or his mother! A childhood traum would definitely explain it.
>>3914649Ik so you just hate silent protagonists with love interests
>>3914652>Metroid Prime doesn't count because I said soNot how it works, bucko. Metroid is Metroid. And Samus in Prime is a product of Super Metroid, whether you like it or not.
>>3914653He hates silent protagonists because even though they don’t speak they’re still more likeable than he is
>>3914654Not even, I mentioned Chrono Trigger which has some romance but it's so mild and unobtrusive and it isn't anywhere as deep or intimate as 3H where support conversations are a huge part in getting to know the characters and their relationships. Terranigma is a sort of a similar case too, and that game actually made me emotional at the end to boot, so you can definitely make it work.>>3914655Sure, more power to you.
>>3914666Ark isn't a silent protagonist either. Dude has literally dialogue. Also wrong board to talk about those games.
>>3914687No clearly this is the board to talk in depth about this guys taste in main characters
>>3914687 Oh you're right, my bad. Also I posted that image to compensate since I can't think of other lesbian silent protagonist games I've played.>>3914689 I'm just replying to posts suggesting otherwise, hide the replies if they bother you so much, geez.
>>3914522Honestly it's just mostly Ada that's just out and out bad(bewilderingly, they got the actress from the recent live action film), coming off as wooden and phoned in compared to previous VAs like OG Sally Cahill or her 6 or 2make VAs who while all different at least managed to come off as a cool, collected corporate spy. That and the new merchant performance which is kinda similar but also kinda noticeably different.Leon is fine, just more higher pitched compared to the OG Paul Mercier work or Matthew Mercer, amplified a little more by Leon being a little moodier compared to the OG survival horror James Bond version. Luis is a lot goofier/sleazier but it works for him having a bigger role this time around including being Leon's combat buddy for a decent bit of the game.English dub is serviceable, and despite the more oppressive gameplay and occasional more serious tone it doesn't forget what RE4 once was.
