Oh my god I didn't really understand just how much an impact these voices made me back in the day, but... the second Carlos went "oh!" and then laughed, holy SHIT I was back in time by more than ten years. I forgot just how much I loved Daria's RAINBOW I... think I still have all my saves somewhere. Maybe it's time to dig em up again... And thank you for the audio comparison!
I wish you had let the audio play separately from each other so it's easier to hear the voices and they don't talk over each other but still thank you for making this video! A lot of the new voices are pretty good but some of them I do miss. I am especially sad about Daria though her old voice was super iconic. Do you know if Rune Factory 3 Special allows you to play with japanese audio? I can't seem to find an answer when I search.
Yes, just like the in RF4 Special & RF5, you have the option to switch between English and Japanese dub. Also, thanks for the feedback about the audio. I had the audio adjust to each side on headphones but I realise that it's a bit harder to hear on speaker. I'll try doing separate scenes next time I make a comparison.
If you ever decide to remake this, could you possibly instead of having them play over each other, could you alternate between playing them so its easier to compare?
The heartbreak I had when I heard Carlos’s new VA. He sounded like such a bro in the original. A real Chad. Total surfer dude vibes. His new VA makes him sound like some average high school kid.😭 Carlos…what have the done to you??
I personally only played through the original once a long while ago, so I don’t really mind the new voices altogether. I’m not overly nostalgic towards the OGs or anything. The acting is good and that’s what matters to me. I’m fine with Raven since RF4 was my first RF game, and it’s the same voice actress as that. But I do understand why people are unhappy with the change. The voices are VERY different. The only two I’d consider straight downgrades are Marian and Daria. Marian’s new voice is a bit too squeaky and over the top for my liking, and Daria is ok but the original was so good. She also sounded more like Margaret in the original which makes sense since they’re family. The rest are perfectly fine replacements imo.
Pretty mixed about these overall. Some I think fit the characters more, while others are way too off for me to enjoy. Raven especially! The pitch doesn't fit her at all. I get all the bachelorettes look, but it's jarring when they sound young too when the originals had more adult sounding voices.
Thank you for sharing! Some of the new voices are very off to me and it kept bothering me, I will probably switch to the japanese voices tbh. It just sounds like the same person is voicing every girl, and she's not a bad voice actor by any means, but I just don't feel like it fits a lot of the characters. It could have been the voice direction, too. I feel they should have tried to keep it more similar to the original, it's very jarring to someone who played the original like me. I think Pia and Sakuya sound good, Collette and Marian sound fine, and that Raven, Daria, and Carmen sound too off to me. They sound a bit too much like a forced "cutesy high pitched girl" type voice instead of real people talking if that makes sense. Especially Daria. I felt the direction of her iconic "Rainbow!" was just way too different. That's one of my only two qualms with the special version. The other being that they don't have a way to view the old openings. I love the new ones a lot! But the old ones were sooo iconic and amazing too! It would be fun if there was an option to view them. Otherwise I really do love it so far, I don't want to sound too negative haha. ^_^" Edit: after playing with the Japanese voices a little bit I think the voice direction was meant to mimic their voices rather than mimicking the original English voices. I think it sounds better in Japanese though if that makes sense. It’s a bit strange to me that for a game they were aiming not to change that they would alter the nostalgic voices for English players.

And thank you for the audio comparison!

i am currently playing it with japanese dub

@@TurnipPoster Thank you! And oh I didn't realize that, I'll try to listen with headphones this time.
Funny how memory works, when I played it looked like the first one haha
god i love 2000s anime voice acting people are a little afraid to be silly these days
