Voice Acting

[MechaGS]

There was a small discussion in another topic about voice acting, but I'd like to pull in out into it's own space so that we can get a clearer picture of what people think on the subject.



Now, I'm not against voice acting but if it does happen I hope they leave the Japanese in. I'd much prefer listening to the Japanese VA with subtitles over the dub as dub's don't really work out too well unless it's a big franchise.



If they didn't have voice acting, I probably wouldn't mind either. It's just an extra but sometimes it can work well if planned with the game. So, would you want voice acting? Cast you're vote and explain why you chose it.

I don't mind either way really, but if there is going to be VA I hope they hire people that are actually decent unlike what Capcom had back in the day when X4 and MM 8 came out. They had horrible voice acting even though they are my favorites from each series. So even if it was dubbed in Japanese but subbed in English that would be cool as well. In the end I don't think we'll be seeing VA though, but it hasn't even been mentioned on the Kickstarter project that I know of. It's definitely a good topic to think about for sure.

Just thought I'd throw it out there just in case people were up for such a discussion. I know it's not been mentioned but there are a few stretch goals we don't know about yet.



Anything's possible and I'm interested in what people think.

I don't mind either way, myself. It's not really that much of a priority for me, as I'm more in whether or not there would be dialogue or not.



Plus, not having voices means I can make my own voices for them, and they usually sound cool when I imagine the voices for myself. Plus, VAs aren't really all that necessary. Most of the times, they are hit or miss, so not having them is safer in the long run anyways.



As for MMX4 and MM8, I loved those VAs! Megaman and X on Estrogen? Dr. Light is actually Elmer Fudd? What am I fighting Foooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?!!!



Best lines ever.



Though, really, the only MM game with truly bad VAs was X7. X4 and 8 were too funny and too quotable to be bad. X7 kinda dropped the ball. But then X8, Maverick Hunter X, and Command Mission came and they really hit the nail on the head with the VAs. I can't imagine Zero being voiced by anyone other than Lucas Gilbertson anymore. He's the perfect Zero voice!



But anyways, yeah, VAs are meh. I wouldn't mind having them, but they aren't entirely necessary.

Maverick Hunter X had an amazing VA, I loved the cutscenes and VA in that game.



I guess so far, people don't mind the idea. I thought there would have been more no's by now if I'm honest.

This reminds me- Mega Man Zero characters actually had VA's in Japan for the Drama Tracks and Ciel had one for the credits of MMZ 4. They were similar quality to the X8 VA's.

I'm actually sort of shocked that no one has yet to vote for No. I guess we are just so stoked that it really doesn't matter either way, because it's still going to be one epic game when it comes out.

Agreed but yeah, it is surprising. It will be interesting to see how they do portray the story of the game (if it has one anyway). :beckveryhappy

I don't really care about voice acting, but if there is one, it better be good.

[MechaGS]

It's starting to look like an "either way" situation and I'm finding that quite interesting.

If we get there, maybe they'll ask us to choose voice actors from voices?
