im mostly just baffled you didnt think to turn the voices off

If you turn the voice acting off you miss out on Sarah, who has the best voice acting in pretty much any game in the last five years.

To be honest, I couldn't stand Teddy's VA either, but I'm pretty sure he's probably even worse on the Japanese version.

Trails of Cold Steel, I'm up to chapter 5. And, indeed, Millium keeps annoying Jusis at every possible opportunity, completely unaware. GOTY.

A bit tired of Emma's secrecy gimmick, though.

Subs are nice and all but sometimes there's talking with no subtitles like when there's talking in a boss fight am I supposed to just enjoy some sexy Japanese voice acting and not mind that I have no idea what they're saying now?

Man idk if I can do Necrodancer on Vita. I like it a lot on ps4 but I keept missing beats using the little dpad, so I played more Nuclear Throne. I wish they'd give us a patch to fix the stuff with the crowns, skins + gun selection ++ dailies +++ trophies too lol, but I have 30 hours on the clock and only had the game crash mid-run once. The framerate stuff people like to complain about is a total nonissue too (I haven't looped, maybe that's where it becomes a problem). They could patch it, Vita means patience

Had Cold Steel get stuck in a perpetual loading cycle right after I used Rean's S-Craft and killed the boss in the middle of the Nord Highlands. Lost about an hour and a half of progress, was surprised to have a JRPG pull a Bethesda on me.

That aside, this game has been awesome, especially the voice acting.

English voice work is the best it's ever been, and if you think to yourself "God, they use the same English VAs all the time, I hate this," go look up Rie Tanaka.

The worst is Yuri Lowenthal because he does additional voices in every video game ever made + only has one voice (or maybe it's a thing where directors are always telling him to do the same voice)

I've been playing a lot of the new Hitman where like 30% of the male NPCs are voiced by him and I dunno what they were thinking

Could be worse, it could have been a new Fallout game.

I felt really bad in Tomb Raider reboot cause half the random mooks were Liam O' Brian and I don't know wanna kill them all of a sudden. Especially when they start having weird conversations about how much they miss bacon.

Oh yeah, Cold Steel chapter 5 introduces a really annoying boss on the free day. Not to spoiler anything, but I wasted one hour trying to figure out how to take it down since its magical attacks are instant and they freeze your party most of the time. If you are like me, you didn't have enough accessories with prevent freeze because no one's used that yet. The solution turns out to be simple: the boss is weak to turn delay. Just use Rean and Crow's delay crafts to take it down to half HP and then wait for the criticals to show up to use your SSS craft thingies. If you have Jusis around with his Noble Command, it makes it easier to set this up since you are speeding your party.

New Vegas's voice cast was 1/2 Liam O'brian, 1/2 Yuri Lowenthal

It was truly the best of both worlds
