Life's a sweet bitter beauty song.......
One thing I'm noticing right out the gate with Xenoblade 2 is that the voice over feels a bit wonky. It sounds like the actors weren't given the full context for their lines, or were directed poorly. That aside, I love this game's presentation, and the story so far is very interesting!
If I recall wasn't one of the reasons due to how limited the resources was or something? I remember how for Xenoblade 1 (I think) the English VA's were allowed to listen to the tracks in Japanese.That's because the voice direction is laughably bad. You have some dumbasses who insist it's perfect but Skye Bennett, who plays Pyra and Mythra, said the voice direction was bad herself.
It's really a game where the Japanese track stands out and some characters are also influenced by who is roughly designed in mind to voice.
I mean really, Tetsuya Nomura and the Xenoblade 2 team made Jin with Takahiro Sakurai (Cloud's VA) in mind no doubt about that. Or how Zeke is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda who has that weird slow and drunk Yakuza sounding voice.
