Why do they keep using British VA for this series now? This all but confirms that Zelda is going to sound like a disgusting 40 year old British woman again. That literally ruined fucking Breath of the Wild to the point I've never finished it
Hylians are stinky brits
Just switch the audio language
>>740981164That ruins the immersion tho?
>>740981245How? The lip sync is done to the Japanese audio, if anything you get worse immersion by using the dub.
>>740980974It's fantasy inspired by anglo-germanic and celtic mythology. Would prefer they have German accents or do you want them to talk like they're from New Zealand.
>>740981286Cause I don't speak Japanese and neither should the Zelda Universe
>>740981397As a New Zealander, please no. Our accent is awful.
>>740981397ok but why does Zelda have to sound so fucking ugly then? Can't they get a cute British VA
>>740980974>Not using the Japanese dubYou brought it upon yourself.
>>740981427>the characters in the japanese game made by japanese devs in an anime art style shouldn't speak japanese???
>>740981542>blonde white people with blue eyes all of a sudden speak japanese
>a disgusting 40 year old British woman againThose who dislike British accents are weak>That literally ruined fucking Breath of the Wild to the point I've never finished itThen set the game's audio to Japanese or hit mute during the cutscenes. Surely you didn't quit a game over mediocre voice acting.
>>740981397Historically the most common form of "British" accent was closer to the West English accent of today, which is the origin of the American accent which remains among the most conservative forms of English Language accents to this day. The Tidewater Accent of coastal Virginia is actually THE singular most conservative accent in the English Language and highly resembles what the English Language broadly sounded like in the 17th Century. Note that "most conservative" doesn't mean it's literally what people used to sound like, as some Americans online try to claim, but rather it's the closest to what people used to sound like. If you really want to go full autism with what a historical accent "should" sound like, you should base it off of that one. The modern English accents didn't really emerge until the early 19th Century, historical peoples wouldn't have sounded like that at all.
>>740981582The Zelda games use a fictional language for the writing in game, so it's safe to assume canonically they're speaking a fictional language. Whether it's English or Japanese, neither are what the characters are actually speaking; its a liberty taken in the presentation. There's no reason why the English makes any more sense than Japanese for fucking birds and fish people, yet all of these characters speak a common tongue.Also anime characters with blue eyes and blonde hair have been speaking Japanese since time immemorial lmao.
I played BotW/TotK in French. Problem solved.
>>740980974Switch to the Latinx spanish audio for the true spic experience.
>>740980974burgers dont want to work
Zelda's VA isn't British. She's an American doing a British accent.
>>740980974Ha I fucking WISH they were using actual british VAs. Tthey use american VAs with shit fake pom accents instead for half the roles and it sounds godawful and it's likely the entire reason the dub sounds cringe inducing.Xenoblade's the series using proper british actors to do the VAing not zelda. Frankly between the dubs for xenoblade and the SE titles dubbed in england I wish all game corps would just drop doing voicework in the US and switch over entirely.
>>740980974They should be sounding Celtic, not angloids. Disgusting!
>>740980974If they're doing voices, Malon had better have a southern accent. Limey english wouldn't fit her design.
Blame Xenoblade 1.
>>740981467
>>740980974Blame japs making (movie) games for western audiences, and not fun jap games for japs that get translated
>>740985063I think a nice Scottish accent would do her fine.
>>740980974they probably don't want to deal with the mafia organization that the American screen actors guild is
>>740980974Oh god it didnt even occur to me that it'll have voice acting. This is going to be awful
>>740981716I like your autism, anon. It pleases me.
>>740986551>Shoehorning modern shit: Zelda edition It's gonna be FF7R all over again Get ready, because it's gonna be 10+ years of complacent consoomers defending daddy nintendo vs pissed purist autists (such as myself)
>>740980974When I played Tears of the Kingdom I fucking hated Zelda's voice in English and Japanese, so you know what I did? I just played in Italian. It was much more bearable and the voice actors were doing a great job.
>>740981467True, but not as bad as the aussie accent. Or worse, South African
>>740986842The Seth Ethric'n accent is godawful but the Australian one is fine.
>>740986986Australian accent is too whiny, I hate it.
>>740986483Listen I generally support unions but the SAG make it impossible to diversify your voice cast. Want to hire outside America for accents? Too bad, fuck you.
>>740981716And that traditional accent was rhotic dammit.
>>740986382That could work, kindov nova scotia, kinda anne of green gables. They're both redheads after all.
>>740980974Personally, I'd love to see Saria get an Irish accent
>>740981397Yes, but that's not modern British English.Give me my incomprehensible old English for most of the characters. The Gerudo can all talk in Cockney rhyming slang.>>740981846French is basically British.
>>740981542>an anime art style
>>740989747Yes
>>740989747greg the green rupee looks like that now?
English and Japanese are fucked.Zelda shouldn't have voiced lines outside of the weird sounds they make.These faggots need to stop trying to be like everyone else.
>>740985063Consider, if you will, the West Country accent as an alternative. If you want an example, they (tried) to have Samwise's actor immitate it for the LotR films.
>>740989884God I hate fanmade in joke bullshit like this when it infests projects and stuff in game starts referencing this stuff that no normal person would consider
Can't they just hire the actual company who handles the Dark Souls stuff? They're the only ones who do it right.
>>740989747I'm glad other people are seeing that. It is weirdly just adult Link's head, scaled down.
>>740980974I hate voice acting so much. Sometimes it works. But not everything needs it.
>watching cutscenes in a Nintendo game
>>740986483They already hired this man.
>>740993759He's so bad. I don't get why he has to be in everything now.
>>740993759*anime voice on "uh, hey guys. I'm Ganon. P'shaaw~"
British english is just more magical, when you hear American you think pickup trucks and corn syrup. Its good when you want things to feel loud and dystopian and not much else
>>740994590In theory, but the voice acting in BotW was just really ass.
>>740980974Zelda is based on Arthurian legends, retard
>>740980974I would be happier if they were actually British and not just Americans and Canadians putting on really bad accents. Zelda's actress from Breath of the Wild is Canadian. It's not even a British accent it's like when voice actors do "anime voice" but it's "fantasy voice".
>>740980974She was an Amerilard. There’s your problem.
WELL BOY HOWDY LINK, LOOKS LIEK AH DAG NAM TRAFORS HAS BEEN TAK’N AGAYN BA GANNON. GAWD DAYM SHUCKS IN HELL! Ah-HYUK
>>740980974I'm excited to ignore this garbage and watch people shit themselves over loving or hating it.
>>740980974>Why do they keep using British VAIt's extremely fashionable for any media to use retarded bog standard British accents for anything fantasy related
>>740981542they should speak hylian.
>>740994590>British english is just more magicalNo it isn't, especially when they use the more local low-born accents instead of kings english
>>740997501Better than using Amerilard’s deformed accent I guess.In an ideal world it would be better to use a made up language.
> Olwright there, butt? Listen to me now, mun! The grand old Deku Tree is in a proper right two-and-eight, clean out of cwtch, he is! No caper, boyo, it’s a total muddle!> You’ve got to shake your bones, wake up from your tidy little dŵr-dreaming, and chops-away, quick sharp! Don't be standing there like a stunned cunt—proper leg it down the forest! You must have a proper chinwag and discuss the whole shebang with it before everything goes completely pear-shaped, look you!> Twt-twt, don't just dawdle there eating Welshcakes! Move your boots, boy, or it’ll be a right old brawd-tragedy, standard!
>>740980974brits arent retarded union ghouls cheaper, theatrically trained, professional and most definitely less prone to drama outbursts.that being said zelda shouldnt have any voice acting at all.
>>740980974Fucking this, if anything Zelda should have an Italian accent since the Zelda series is heavily inspired by Ancient Roman and Catholic culture.
>>740981427>Cause I don't speak JapaneseThen pick up the damn textbook at start, anon-kun.
>>740980974Spoken dialogue in a Zelda game is a taboo that should never be broken.
>>740982359I hate to break it to you but Americans are just Brits pretending to be their own thing.
>>740997651>Better than using Amerilard’s deformed accent I guess.lol no
The Deku tree spoke in ye ol’ English OOT so it makes sense.I don’t mind voice acting in Zelda. I just wish Nintendo got GOOD voice actors and not just Americans doing bad impressions.
>>740997923You’re an amerilard. Your opinion doesn’t count.
>>740997923Nice try, you might bait someone with this I guess.
>>740997906Wrong again. I’m 12% Cherokee. Try again
>>7409862804chan used to be so fucking embarrassing and cringe, jesus christ. this shit is painfully reddit.
>>740997651Midna was already voiced in english but it was okay because it was garbled and nonsense, so basically made up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YLakSs0mlU
>>740997963>The Deku tree spoke in ye ol’ English OOT so it makes sense.Which he doesn't do in the trailer.
>>740998217She was voiced in Japanese Engrish. That is not the same you retarded TP secondary.
>>740986382Oh God no please
>>740998356Which is a shame, I know.They probably had to dumb it down on the account that so many Americans complain that they can’t understand accents like they did with Dragon Quest.Also the reason Frog lost his ol’ English way of speaking in the DA port of Chrono Trigger.
>>740981427Since BotW the Zelda Universe is now Japanese rather than Evropean Kino.
>>740980974In 50 years from now on indian british voice acting is the best youll get.>Good morning Link Saar, here is navy. Please do the needful and redeem the princass
>>740980974Brishit accents are almost as insufferable as indian accents. Every time I open a piece of media and I hear some toothless inbred cunt's barely human lisp I instantly turn it off.
>>740998502*DS port
>>740998537> some toothless inbred cunt's barely human lispYou are literally describing Amerimutt
OI LINK YA DAFT CUNT
>>740998537>Every time I open a piece of media and I hear some toothless inbred cunt's barely human lisp I instantly turn it off.
>>740981582they're not from earth
>>740998823Based redneck
>>740998163ah yes, the olden days of 5 years ago
>>740998823I didn't know rednecks felt that way about br*tish voice acting
>>740981582>blonde white people with blue eyes speaking english
>>740998935>>740999065>RedneckHe’s just American. Nice attempt at separating the two though
>>740981245>>740981427>I DON'T LIKE OPTION A>here's option B>I DON'T LIKE OPTION BHoly shit shut the fuck up you entitled-ass nigger.
>>740999194I didn't know Americans felt that way about Br*tish voice acting
>>740999194And the Sudanese are just english :^)
I'd have always assumed they'd use BOTW's VA for Zelda. There would be no reason not to since she's already still probably in contractual employment with them.I do hope they drop the fake-British accent though. Mostly because non-Americans doing British accents are piss-poor at it. Just make her well-spoken Ameican/Canadian so the VA can talk naturally.
>>740980974Use JP? But the reason is because amerimutt voice actors are literally mentally ill and cause infinite drama if you haven't been following the news for a couple of years. They are also generally talentless as foreign voice actors generally have theatre or acting background of some sort. It's unironically a good thing not to hear the same two voice actors in every game, one for each gender kek
>Fromsoft hires cheap British VA's instead of paying SAG wages>everyone loves it>Every other company follows suitAmericans priced themselves out of the market at the same time as being known for funimation "anime voice acting".
>>740998041Arthas has an American accent anon you retard
British voice actors:>actual actors>performed on stage and radio plays so know how to voice act>professionalAmerican voice 'actors'>found on the street>only experience is doing cheap anime dubs>terminally online, has a twitter account and harms the company reputation
>>740980974Doing the needful today saar?
>>741000549>”Arthas has”Oof
>>740993759I was shocked to find out the guy is not actually fat because this is the most fat guy face to ever exist.
>>741000549Anon, you’re not doing us any favours here… please just stop.
>>740980974>DubLol
>>741001081that's just korean men
>>740981716Correct but this concept always falls on deaf ears because people assume the originating point of a language is the most conservative even though that's rarely the case. In fact most of the time it's the most divergent because people feel less pressure to speak "correctly" there. Happened in England, France, Spain, and Greece just off of the top of my head. They all have more divergent accents than their diasporas.
>>740980974>WhyYou wirr risten to the voice acting and you wirr rove it, gaijin paypiggu!
>>740981542Motherfucker nobody is saying what language they "should" speak, he's just saying that hearing a language that he actually understands is more immersive to him than reading subtitles, which is objectively true.
>>741004769>nobody is saying what language they "should" speak>>740981427>Cause I don't speak Japanese and neither should the Zelda Universeno wonder you're anti-dub, you need to be able to read to use subtitles!
