Seh-sill is a legitimate, if less used pronunciation

I bet you'll be extremely surprised when you hear them pronounce "Kain"-- like Kah-een.

Golbez is a misprint, the correct name is supposed to be Globez, which is interestingly enough Butz's mom's name in Japanese.

Just found out about CGI Angelo Cannon and it's great



Also around the 2 minute mark they made Vaan's Pyroclasm look like he's about to do a Chaos Dunk.

Never seen any of these before, they're excellent! Angelo is so cute and serious and Vaan's Chaos Dunk are indeed great. I assume they're from Brave Exvius?

Also please give me some context for who I believe is the FFXIV rep, the smol who turns giant, doing an evil princess laugh, and then using the moon as a bowling ball because nothing has motivated me to play FFXIV quite like that

That's Shantotto from XI.

I hear lots of cool things about Shantotto, but I never played 11 and know little about it. Anyone mind giving a run down on how much rear end she kicks?

I didn’t expect the fighting game to have a verbal slap fight between the final boss of VIII and the cool tiny sage lady from XI but here we are I guess.

That requires playing WoFF, which means having to be exposed to Tama, and I'm pretty sure that's considered torture in some countries.

On the other hand WoFF has Chocolatte, and we all know you can't spell "the cool cat" without Chocolatte.

Can someone who actually speaks Japanese give me a rough estimate of exactly how inane anime vocal tics sound to a native speaker, possibly through some kind of analogy to Western animated characters?

Chocolatte.

Part of me wonders what the voice recording was like for the actress when she and the script writer/voice director realized how the-dumb that verbal tic sounds out loud but also that the-the script would have to be rewritten entirely on short notice to unfuck it.
