Arc Rise Fantasia: OH FUCK MY EARS

Kim · 08-02-2010, 03:43 PM

So, I just started playing Arc Rise Fantasia.

I don't know how far I'm going to get, because this voice acting is honestly painful to listen to. It hurts me.

AAAAAAAAUGH

I mean, I'm only like fifteen minutes in, and despite looking really nice for a Wii game and the combat at least being passible, I fucking hate it. SO AWFUL

They're stressing all the wrong words. They may in fact be robots.

Please don't buy this game. You'll only be supporting subpar localisations.

At least it's not as bad as that one that was done by a single family.

Arc Rise Fantasia is an AWESOME game, that sure as hell deserves a chance.

BUT... English voice acting for this game sucks big time.

So, 24 hours after release there was an Undub version online. That works with the original disk. There is some Homebrew vodoo that i'm not too sure of how it works... but it does.

I'm using a Hard copy undub as in, ripped the original Game myself, replaced the Audio Files with the Japanese version and made a Backup of the original disc to play.

Now i'm enjoying this game with the Wonderfully delicious Japanese voice track. The cost? No audio during Skits. The benefit? No English Voice track ANYWHERE.

Alternative? Turn off Voice audio and pretend you're playing Twilight Princess in 2008.

Man, you guys. I actually didn't mind the VAs, but only because the voices themselves aren't godawful, just the delivery of the lines.

That said, prolly gonna look into this game. Is that a fucking robot thingy they're talking to in the link Noncon linked?

That's a Dragon =3

Well, if your first contact with this game is with the English version you might be able to endure the VA. But once you compare it with the japanese one... you aint coming back.

Is there any game when compared to Japanese VA is ever better in the end?

That being said, if I can force my way through Infinite Undiscovery VA I'm sure I can force my way through this. The game does look fun,

What's the Combat actually like though?

Dragon Quest VIII and Final Fantasy XII come to mind.

Okay the first one is kind of cheating, but I'm totally serious about the second one.
