Why does America always insist on DUBBING everything? We could've had our RPGs in Japanese.

When Europeans want to show people a foreign movie, they subtitle it. When Americans want to show people a foreign movie, they remake it with American actors.

i rented a copy of mad max 2 once that was dubbed with american voice-overs, i didn't think the australian accent was that hard to understand
>>
>>12255945
"Not being able to understand an accent" is a myth vomited by racists anyway, I've worked with people from the north end of Scotland where they don't speak English and I understand them just fine.

Americans are the world

Mad Max had to be redubbed because Australians were too foreign.

>Why is the English version of a game in English?
Gee, I wonder.
>>
i'd rather just remove all the voice acting to begin with. completely unnecessary garbage.

This but only for western games. Most western game VAs suck ass. Japanese VAs are great and can stay.

>>12255932
Play the JP version or variant. Emulate if title is rare, expensive, or digital only

you only think that because you don't understand the japanese.

in any case, i maintain that even good voice acting does not fucking belong in video games.
>>
>>12256497
Japanese voice acting is trash because everyone is constantly shouting. People don't talk like that in the real world and it's fucking cringe.

Interesting take. I can't initially disagree at.

jrpgs are all meant for children and tweens and such media should be easy to digest.
if you are past 21 and still playing or discussing them, you probably have a developmental disorder.

Americans feel revolted at the sight and sound of foreign languages thus we have to deal with shitty dubs for all 5th/6th gen games or learn japanese. Americans also treat voice acting as essential because theyre too lazy to read.
>>
>>12255932
Most Americans are barely literate, even in native English games they demanded voice acting as soon as it became feasible to do which ruined RPGs by drastically reducing the amount of dialogue they could have.
