Yea I mean I pick based on game. I watch all anime in jp, but I can't stand weeb faggots that immediately change all languages to jp. The desperation to be japanese is unironically pathetic. I usually check the VAs first and if I'm doing multiple playthroughs use whatever language option I didn't pick.

i played ff14 with eng dub because everyone is british for some reason
>>
It depends. I use the dub for ACVI for example because it's kind of a western setting and everyone is blabbing throughout the missions. I dont have time to read every line without taking my focus from the moment to moment gameplay, even if its only for a few seconds at a time
>>
>>744657249
A huge chunk of jap media has characters with western names which japs are just completely unable to pronounce.
>>
The original dub is always superiour in every game
>>
>>744657249
Yeah. I generally play dubs. When I was younger I obsessed over playing games in their original language for 'purity'. Then I became self aware and realized that I can't speak Japanese so I have to read the subtitles which are just the script, so therefore if the localization is woke, playing it in Japanese doesn't matter.
Dubs are only bad from like the fucking 90s and shit dude. It is the year 2026. Every major Japanese game has a perfectly fine, if not good, dub.

If the game doesn't take place in Japan like Persona or Yakuza then English dub by default. Japanese isn't even an universal language, almost nobody speaks Japanese. Why would I play a Jrpg with clear European inspired setting in Japanese? Most of the time the characters in Japanese games aren't even Asian.

RGG could never be trusted with their casting. 10 years in the western market made them into fucking pussies.

You're a nigger or similarly worthless troglodyte missing link apeman, kill yourself and donate your cadaver for science so you might contribute to society in some way; you don't need to be Japanese or aspire to become one (whatever that means) to learn Japanese or want to listen to Japanese Voice acting.

This is simply not true. There are just as many examples of poor quality Japanese voice acting as there are English. Take FFX. I used to be an annoying weeb like you, but since I've worked in Japan and actually became fully fluent in Japanese, I've found some of the JP VAs to be extremely shitty, and the English dub has some really great voice acting. That's not to say the English dub doesn't have some shitty VAs but that's beside the point. You're just an annoying weeb, and that's coming from someone who lived in Japan for almost 10 years doing various translation work. Beyond that example, we're far past the time where English dubs are an afterthought, and many modern JP games can and should be played with the English VAs if you're a native English speaker.

Whatever the fuck that means. Sure thing, man. You got this.

English dub in japanese media will always suck, no matter how hard you try to defend it. And yes, specifically ENGLISH.
>>
>>744667604
"Always" is a foolish word to use in this situation. You're just parroting weeb dogma. Will you admit there is a somewhat equal amount of shitty JP voice acting as well? Or are you unable to admit that because you don't actually speak/understand Japanese?

First of all that's a retarded assumption. Second of all you can just hire a tutor, take classes, or god forbid learn from books like we did in the 90s/2000s

Dubfags are simply dumb normalfags. It's obvious if you know any normalfags IRL because they will only watch dubs.

I watch and game most stuff in the original dub. The only exception is chinese, I don't like hearing chinese words. Music is fine tho.

It's probably the most braindead assumption ever, you'd have to be literally blind to not see it coming.
>hire a tutor, take classes, or god forbid learn from books like we did in the 90s/2000
Uhuhuhuh I do not think retards who didn't manage to learn japanese (or anything they wanted to learn) freely and easily in the last 15 years of the internet aren't going to get a tutor (who is pulling teaching resources off the internet), take classes (come on now), or get a book (for the third time, requires the internet).

Dubs have a cabal union to keep them from getting rightfully replaced.
Also since dialouge butchery is something that happens to all dubs regardless of country do you think there are people in japan having this same argument.

The JP dub seems to be more played straight, like a serious kaiju movie

this guy was wearing a kimono to size it up for his then girlfriend, btw. Now, he is married to her. Turns out it was just a white weeb couple that was sizing and fitting a kimono all along. There is a different picture of a different white man wearing a different kimono and that white man is next to a Japanese girl. That is not to be confused with this one where his offscreen girlfriend (that later became his wife) at the time is white.

>>744670892
Japan doesn't have a cabal union that keeps them around as they are not talentless and don't need it to keep their jobs.

>>744670846
It fits them because all the swearing in a language I can understand hits harder and Americans are good at being retarded cunts and a Nigger

Cyberpunk Edgerunners is good in both voiceovers. the English fits because the slang is supposed to be in English just like the video game. but as with most anime produced in Japan I have a bias and still prefer Japanese voice over regardless and just adapt to reading English subtitles like usual. Wuthering Waves did well with this since they added a feature to individually switch around the voiceover language for each character in the game including Rebecca and Lucy from the crossover. So I can switch back and forth between JP and EN voiceover with Rebecca and Lucy whenever I want.

>>
>>744671485
is it a good thing Wuthering Waves picked Britbong voice actors for the English voiceover in their game? For context, they actually got the American English VAs to reprise all of their roles for the Cyberpunk Edgerunners crossover.

hahaha I WILL NOT support the FAGAFTRA cabal unit cult. I just won't, ok? Is that crazy? I don't think so. Maybe don't have voice actors that are a literal cult and kick out people they don't like while the talentless libtard hags take up the spots and whine and complain and roll ovon the floor like children when they don't get their way because AI exists and can potentially take away their jobs since they suck and can't do a better job than technology that imitates. if it's anyone BUT the American cabal cult, that's a different story and up for debate. But I will default to avoidance. Not that hard to read while listening and watching. Anyone that can't do that is just making up a shit excuse.
