I was at Target grabbing the bokoblin amiibo and a guy in his 40's came up and asked if I had one. When I told him I pre-ordered he inquired if it really lives up to the hype as a console. When I told him his wildest video games dreams have become true with Switch he wanted to know when he'd be able to get one. When I told him "summer" I saw the look of regret.

Louisgod posted:The only saving grace for the VA for Zelda is that they went the Xenoblade route and realized British accents are loving ace See, the "British" accent was my problem with it, since it clearly was not genuine. And it also bugged me that the king sounded like he was being voiced by a 30 year old. They couldn't find any old guys to hire?

I've met plenty of older people who sound similar to the king. He sounded just fine to me.

Just spent the morning kicking insane rear end with prince Sidon, can confirm dude is fully rad with a loving father that cares deeply for him and Mipha. Now my Switch sits unused losing value by the second as I clean up anal grease this gross rear end chug left everywhere.

TFRazorsaw posted:I've met plenty of older people who sound similar to the king. He sounded just fine to me. I think this is the issue I see with a lot of people. The characters generally sound like normal people. Like, a knight or a king isn't always going to "sound like a knight or a king," because "knight" and "king" have no specific sound or quality, outside of maybe vocabulary. Everyone in the game sounds like they could be just normal people talking to each other, and some players don't want that. They want overacting. They want them to sound "special," even if they're not sure what that means.

No, I didn't need him to sound like a stereotypical king, I just didn't find that the timbre of his voice matched his character design at all. It was disconcerting to me immediately.

A lot of people's favorite voice is Revali who is overacted as hell and sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon character.

I felt like Zelda's VA got better as the game went on, especially when she wasn't doing the pleading "Link, you have to do the thing!" voice you get introduced to right off the bat.

When Yunobo was stuck behind those rocks his panicked voice acting made me anxious while playing, so in terms of intended emotional effect that's pretty good work I think.

the acting is about the same as any of those dubbed japanese cartoons films, things, so at least it fits with the style.

Yeah I don't know why Zelda sounds so emo man, just because she feels responsible for the destruction of her kingdom and almost everyone who lives there, as well as being stuck in her former home with an ancient formless evil for a hundred years.

thexerox123 posted:You're just arguing out of both sides of your mouth, now. Well, first of all, it was Takoluka who made the point that they sound like "normal" people, not me. I just said that I've encountered people who sound just like the voice they used for the king. I've also found people who sound like the voice used for Revali but don't use the exaggeration in tone or flourish that his voice actor used for the character. Those are two different aspects to the performance; how this character "acts" vs. "does this kind of general voice suit someone who looks like this". I mean, not all old people sound like, let's say, Patrick Stewart. Not all characters voiced by Patrick Stewart sound or act the same either, even if you can tell immediately it's him. There's more to voice acting than how a character "sounds".

Yeah, I can't imagine why she'd sound that way either.

edit: ^^^ yeah!Tijuana Bibliophile posted:that all happened after all the memories; thus her emo predates those events. nah still fits because she is going through not wanting to be the legendary princess everyone expects her to be and living up to the pre-convinced expectation of her heritage. at least thats what i got from that memory near lake hylia

The voice acting in Zelda is just okay. It's a bit camp but not offensive. I honestly wish it had more. I'm not done with the game yet but there's a few scenes I wish were also voice acted.

Those people you encountered would be normal people. As opposed to cartoon characters. That's what I was referring to. Obviously I've seen people in real life whose physical appearance is very different from what I expected based on their voice, but that's generally not a good feeling to invoke via voice acting.

Her emo, by contrast, doesn't necessarily predate those events. Agreed.
