Re: Dragon Quest VIII
Yeah I guess...and for people who can't read very well I suppose Personaly I enjoy imagining their voices in my head whilst reading rather than listening to some loud cheesy, typical hero type voiced, American blathering out the script (sorry if anybody is American here ).

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
Better than that I guess. If the Hero doesn't have a voice, why give everyone else voices? o_0

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
That's a good question...To be honest I can't remember the hero saying anything in text either though so giving him a voice wouldn't be possible without changeing the script.

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
I don't even remember him having any words in text either. o_0 Just expressions. It's a shame, really. Having the MAIN CHARACTER speechless, while the rest talk. That's a little odd.

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
It is odd, it's even more odd how when the other characters ask him something they know his answer even though he doesn't reply (I seem to remember). The same is true for Ryu (the hero) in Breath of Fire 4.

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
Maybe they just couldn't find a VA(Voice Actor) for him?

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
I think some of their oice actors are just random people off the street so that can't be it
(okay that was maybe a bit harsh but some are just terrible) |

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
Well, didn't they hire English VAs for the characters? I don't think they'd be American, unless they're just doing an extremely good job of mimicking that particular accent. I did hear that they had an entirely new voice cast for the European version though.
The main character in the Dragon Quest games never, ever talks (this is also another way of sticking with tradition. You can see this in alot of other older RPGs, more specifically classic turn-based CRPGs like Mother/Earthbound). This is because of the 'silent hero philosophy', that is, the hero doesn't have too much of a personality* because he's supposed to be a reflection of you. Although the main character in DQVIII had a great deal more back story then meets the eye, if you undergo a certain post-game sidequest... *Well, they all seem to enjoy 'puff-puffs' at any rate. |

It is hard to tell with DQ8 if they were English talent or not, I think Yagnus was but I believe the majority are actualy American. I was meaning voice acting in general though. Yeah you have a strong point with the tradition part right there. Kinda nice how they decided to make it with tradition in mind. |

Re: Dragon Quest VIII

Re: Dragon Quest VIII
I beat it, it was a great game, the only thing i didn't like about it was the music. The battle music was terrible. Maybe its just because I'm used to such great music from Final Fantasys though.
