Melon Tart woah I didn’t know that! 0o0 And with Igor’s VA, I’m obviously talking about the one from 3 and 4. I think the man who voiced him in those games has passed away... Edit:Scratch that, the man who passed away was the JP VA…
Eric Stitt (Klonoa's va) actually tweeted that his voice was based on the design alone. He was given no other information including the original Seiyuu's performance. So if anybody is to blame, I blame the localization crew for the choices made.
It's alright, if you want ot believe the comics than the Klonoa games are in his dreams, big interconnected dream that everyone from loads of different Worlds seems to get wrapped into, too complicated for me to understand. But all you need to know is that according to the comic he lives normally on his own World in complete peace, the dreams are just teaching him life lessons. Or if you think that ruins the stakes and sadness like I do then write it off as not being true to the story because the comic was cancelled.
@@OneBoredCatbug The thing is, Lunatea's Veil ending also kind of implies it, with the "Good morning" screen. And since both Huepow and Lolo both claim that Klonoa has to go home in both games, it all points out to Klonoa visiting the different worlds through his dreams indeed.
Uh... _"popular belief"?_ Literally nobody thinks he was voiced by Roger Craig Smith. Ironically, Eric Stitt's voice here is more fitting for Sonic than Roger ever was, at least in my opinion.
And Eric Stitt based the voice on Klonoa's design alone. He was given no other information including the original Seiyuu's vocal performance. So I blame the localization crew, not the voice actor.
While I don't particulary think Klonoa's English voice actor is fitting for him, you gotta admit his voice shines at this moment 1:00:38 until the very end of that scene. It breaks my heart.
The voice isn't really the problem it's more or less the character the voice is coming from, and it's even more unfitting that the dialogue was pretty much unchanged. This dialogue was written for OG Klonoa who was a child in that game, some of the lines just don't sound right when this is the voice reading them.
I agree. He gave it all he had. And he later tweeted that he based on his voice on the design alone. He was given no other information, inclding the seiyuu's performance. So people shousl really blame the localization team, not Eric
@@liamfunnyman6965 believe what you want. Ambiguity is something that frankly just wastes my time. They should just say the characters gender and be done with it. It's the same problem I have with Crona from Soul Eater. They go through the trouble of making an interesting character yet can't just say whether that character is female or not so the English dub of the anime had to just say the character was male just to make things easier
"There's no way they're ending it like this." *2 Minutes left* "They can't end it like this." *30 Seconds left* "Come on!" *End* "Really people?! Now I'm just sad! Someone cheer up Klonoa! Fluff doesn't deserve to be kicked out." (Yes, I will call him Fluff. His ears are too cute :) )
Reminds me of Lunatea's Veil's ending. Probably why Klonoa was more "mature" in Lunatea's Veil when leaving his friends (since he already went through a similar moment) in that game.
that voice really doesnt fit klonoa, i get he is suposed to be a sonic type character but that doesnt mean he is sonic, he is suposed to be a young child but he sounds like a teenager also am i the only one that noticed they dumbed down the text in the intro?
As I am revisiting this version’s cutscenes. I never noticed that until now after coming back from both the Original and Phantasy Reverie remaster. I saw the extra vision cutscenes and Klonoa doesn’t say a single word at all lol
Well, at least with the English voices, I can finally understand how to announce their names. The English voices are okay, but Klonoa doesn't really sound his age, if he even has one.
If you like to count the cancelled comic series then yes Klonoa does have an age because he exists in his own World too, and whenever he goes to sleep he has these dreams. I'm sure there's supposed to be more depth to that but the comic was cancelled.
Personally, I like Klonoa's English voice. I also like how he and Hewpoe sound vaguely like Sonic and Tails respectively; it fits their hero-and-sidekick-are-best-buddies dynamic.
I wish Namco did a remake of Klonoa 2 instead of giving in to their Tekken greed. I would have loved to hear Lolo in English (plus the original game is expensive).
Well, I think you can blame this game's poor sales for that. Then again, the game had no advertising in America so we didn't even know this existed. So (even those this may sound tinfoil-hatty) you could say that even though the head of Bandai Namco wanted to make this, nobody else did, so they it up to fail.
I honestly don’t mind this. In fact, if we’re talking about the Wii version, I actually _prefer_ the English voices. There. I said it. PS1 Phantomilian > Wii ENG > Wii Phantomilian And even if you don’t like the English voices, c’mon, admit it: Ghadius and Joka’s dub voices sound frickin _perfect._
I may not like Klonoa's English voice, but I am totally with you on Ghadius and Joka. Even then, I don't blame Klonoa's voice actor for anything. The directors didn't give him much information about the character, not even that Klonoa is supposed to be a child.
@@xylopiano3 I don’t mind this take on Klonoa at all, to be perfectly honest. Then again, it might be because I think it fits better with this decidedly... bizarre visual design.
Agree on Ghadius and Joka no prob, but IMO English isn't a good language to dub stuff; OG in English is awesome but to dub ? Nah, i personally don't like it.
Whenever I hear Karal and Pamela talking and/or look at them; they sorta got me thinking of Cream and Vanilla from Sonic X (love that series despite any flaws it may or may not have)
Joshua Eckenreiter ... the entire game of Earthbound is dark. and Zelda, especially Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess, are pretty dark games, too. idk how anyone who’s played those games could say they mostly aren’t dark
To be fair, Eric Stitt (Klonoa's VA) didn't know that Klonoa was supposed to be a young boy. Apparently, the casting people didn't help him out very much, and Stitt didn't know anything about Klonoa aside from being shown a picture of him.
@@xylopiano3 yep. He tweeted out that he based the voice purely on the design with no knowledge of the character or the original voice from Klonoa's Seiyuu. So the localization people are pretty much the ones to blame. Not the voice actor.
This feeling of nostalgia was so overwhelming, i couldn't take it. Especially the ending, now that i remember how sad it was, i cried my eyes out 😭😭😭😭😭
What happened to you, Klonoa?! Why do you sound like Sonic?! Also, That ending for me was the DARKEST plot twist EVER!! It looked like he was getting sucked into a black hole that formed in the sky all of a sudden!! And when Hewpoe said that wind village isn't the world of his reality, I got so surprised!
Even if most people say Klonoa’s voice actor isn’t very fitting, you have to admit that it adds an extra layer of emotion and sadness to the ending. Watch 1:01:08 to 1:02:00 😢😫😭🐰💍
in the first 10-20 seconds and hearing klonoa's voice actor my reaction: well I know a game by the name of Super Mario World that I won't hack when I get lunar magic
Let me see what I can do for a hypothetical cast for the sequel's remake: Klonoa: Eric Stitt (reprising the role; I actually like his performance here.) Lolo: Wendee Lee (Coincidentally, she also voices Karal and the Moon Queen here.) Popko: Carter Cathcart Tat: Kira Buckland Leorina Karen Strassman Baguji: Grant Kirkhope (Yes, that Grant Kirkhope. Because why not?) the High Priestess: Tara Strong Momett: Xander Mobus the Steward of the Ghost Palace: Nolan North Lepito the Flower Clown: also Nolan North
This remake was released in 2008, the only thing that mentions Klonoa is some kind of Encore trademark which would be a remaster, not a remake. Honestly though I'd be surprised if we ever got past Phantomile, since we've only reached Klonoa 2 a single time. That's a good set of casting choices though, although I don't personally like Eric as this Klonoa it would be way more fitting over the cockier Klonoa 2 version of Klonoa.
I do respect the majority of the casting choices. But after how the fans quintessentially crapped on Eric Stitt, it is probably best to not let him reprise the role (and his voice was based on the scrapped redesign) and Grant Kirkhope? He probably sounds like a good fit, but means he voiced DK in the early days doesn’t mean he will voice another character, unless he is also a VA along with his job as a Composer. Edit: I respect that you like his performance and so do I, and I also found out Grant voiced a bunch of characters in Banjo-Kazooie so he could be a fit.
Personally, I think Roger Craig Smith is doing quite well as the current voice. Knowing the voice acting scene now, they would probably use Troy Baker or Bryce Papenbrook for a newer Sonic.
Crash Star Gaming never heard of 'em. I'll take a listen and see if I feel that would sound right because... for me, in my personal opinion, ryan drummond did the best.
I just beat this game a few hours ago and it hqs the most messed up ending I have ever seen in a kids game. also, hewpow to me reminds me of classic mega man lol and really a death of an innocent character in a kids game? dam lol
@@ridz377 but unless you played the sequel, you wouldn't know that. And sadly, the sequel didn't get remade. So Wii kids would never know what happened to Klonoa unless they looked it up online.
If you think that's weird you should hear the original pronunciations. Klonoa = Kloa Joka = Jacque (Jack) Ghadius = Ghadiice Leorina = Leonra. The names have always been inconsistent.
Why does Huepow- *cough* sorry, I mean "Hewpoe" do all the talking while Klonoa just makes small remarks here and there? It wasn't like that in the PS1 version, in fact it was almost the opposite.
GuyWithThePie because they didn't want people to hear Klonoa's awful new voice acting so they could hear a character that actually has a voice that fits him (Huepow)
It was more than just the opposite, Klonoa never spoke until something really interesting happened, in the PS1 version there are times when Hewpoe doesn't speak at all, but he does in those scenes in the Wii version.
Honestly, I think the English dub is made especially for cutscenes. In gameplay, it's just Phantomilian, but with different voice actors. (In my opinion, the English dub isn't great, but it's pretty decent. Wish that English doesn't mix in with Phantomilian, and that the English voices fit Klonoa better)
There's a lot of reasons for that, one reason is that the voice actor auditioned without knowledge of the series with the exception of a picture of the scrapped Klonoa character design change. And another thing, it's possible that he recognised the art style and went in that direction, honestly his delivery is really good even though certain lines like Wahoo fall flat the rest isn't bad. So he likely went in that direction because after Door to Phantomile Klonoa does look like a Sonic character, I can't blame him at all. He'd do a good Sonic though.
@@filipeflowerDid you miss the part where it said he had no guide outside of a single picture of Klonoa? It wasn't his fault, it was the creators at Namco
I know that they chose the VA based on the look, but if Klonoa is supposed to be 9 during door to phantomile, man did he hit puberty at a very young age
Not entirely, the choose a stage uses a really nice remaster of the original piece, I wish there was a way to find this version of it online because it's really good.
1:01:12 Hewpoe: Klonoa.....the time is come for you to go back. Back to your Phantomile. Klonoa: No way. Hewpoe: Goodbye, Klonoa. Klonoa: But I don't wanna go. Hewpoe: Goodbye! Klonoa: I DON'T WANNA GO! Hewpoe: I SAID GOODBYE! Klonoa: NO!
what's up with everyone bashing the English dub of Klonoa? I like it the way it is.t he only thing I'd say would be that this voice would fit a more mature Klonoa and that the va would need to sound a tad more childish. huepow sounds just fine. someone explain the hate!
It's all about preference, it's the same as subs vs dubs. Some people just don't like the dub because they are either used to the original voice or they don't like how the actor portrays the character. I'm glad you like the english version, but some people don't share your viewpoint. Sorry, hope that answers your question.
Hmm, I always wondered what Klonoa would sound like if he spoke English. I'll admit that "nerdy teenager" wasn't high on my list, but at least I finally got my answer.
My complaint isn't so much that Klonoa's voice doesn't suit him (though I would have preferred something younger to harken back to the original, If he was reasonably aged up in the remake, that's okay.) its the fact that he has so few lines in the remake. Perhaps it cost more to his original actor back in the Japanese version, but the fact that he hardly emotes or talks throughout the game makes it a lot harder to connect and root for him. A character does not need to speak to be made relatable. As is proven in games like the Legend of Zelda (Wind Waker, to be specific,) you can have a silent protagonist who can win you over by their quirks, emotes, and actions alone. But Klonoa's constant lack of expression in these cutscenes really don't make up for the trimmed script he's been given. My boy, what have they done to you?
Dont get me wrong the voice actor himself did really good at his preference. But I genuinely dont think the voice fits klonoa. I do agree that his VA killed it with the ending scene. Even after seeing it in the original language and japanese that scene still makes me cry no matter what language it is in.
mas games38 The costumes you unlock after beating the game are, the Klonoa 2 costume, the original Door to Phantomile costume and a festival costume. I actually covered all of this in my extras video.

Same. Fits him well, actually. He looks here like he's grown up a little since the original version of the game, and Eric's performance reflects that.

i dont care what people say about how bad klonoas voice sound's i still live him

Personally, I think Roger Craig Smith is doing quite well as the current voice. Knowing the voice acting scene now, they would probably use Troy Baker or Bryce Papenbrook for a newer Sonic.
Crash Star Gaming never heard of 'em. I'll take a listen and see if I feel that would sound right because... for me, in my personal opinion, ryan drummond did the best.
Oh yeah, Drummond was absolutely perfect. No one is questioning that, who knows maybe he'll make a guest appearance in a later game.
Crash Star Gaming maybe next year, since that year will be sonic's 25th anniversary.
In my opinion, the best thing that came out of the english version was Joka's voice
Screw it, I'm knitting me a Klonoa doll!
You made it yet?
Did you ever do it?
OMG1 I cried at the end of this! Poor Klonoa
Imagine the english voice but with the NA redesign of Klonoa.
Klonoa's english voice sounds like sonic.
With that voice Klonoa has become a Clone (No pun intended I swear) of sonic.
I will say,
Joka and Ghadius are my favorites when it comes to the English VA.
Joka/Joker's voice actor is so good though.
I remember i played this game before,when i was younger and then it just suddenly popped in my head
I never imagined Klonoa sounding like that.
Me neither
Joka:YOU NEVER SEE IT COMIIINGGGGGGGGGG
Klonoa Grandpa: i want to die
his grandpa voices igor lol
Are we all going to ignore the fact that Huepow is voiced by SuperGirl?
What? Really?
I just beat this game a few hours ago and it hqs the most messed up ending I have ever seen in a kids game. also, hewpow to me reminds me of classic mega man lol and really a death of an innocent character in a kids game? dam lol
He doesn't die he has been sent to another world
Roxas The key blade weilder talking about grandpa
@@ridz377 but unless you played the sequel, you wouldn't know that. And sadly, the sequel didn't get remade. So Wii kids would never know what happened to Klonoa unless they looked it up online.
@@ridz377 nice logo of Guntz/Gantz
Klonoa's a teenager now. Hence his voice here in this Wii Version. 😎
Holy crap sad ending. :(
This voice is just fucking horrendous. Thank fuck for the Phantomile dub, lol
The English voices are pretty good
Eric Stitt does a good Klonoa voice,
Some scenes don’t fit him but he still tried hard
I just finished klonoa phantomile and this feels like a fever dream
Side note not a bad one
Awesome movie😀
I was giving this game a chance... and they had to rename Joka to Joker?! Your kidding.
If you think that's weird you should hear the original pronunciations.
Klonoa = Kloa
Joka = Jacque (Jack)
Ghadius = Ghadiice
Leorina = Leonra.
The names have always been inconsistent.
It was a localization error.
I remember that I was looking though boxes and I found this in the box
This game was the birthday gift that shard gave me
watch until the end... so sad... :'(
The story in the credits played backwards to show that something missing; a Museum taking place right after the beginning.
tbh when klonoa try sounding like sonic? i missed the original child like voice :(
Why does Huepow- *cough* sorry, I mean "Hewpoe" do all the talking while Klonoa just makes small remarks here and there? It wasn't like that in the PS1 version, in fact it was almost the opposite.
GuyWithThePie because they didn't want people to hear Klonoa's awful new voice acting so they could hear a character that actually has a voice that fits him (Huepow)
@@froakie1404 That's a joke answer but it made me laugh.
It was more than just the opposite, Klonoa never spoke until something really interesting happened, in the PS1 version there are times when Hewpoe doesn't speak at all, but he does in those scenes in the Wii version.
Honestly, I think the English dub is made especially for cutscenes.
In gameplay, it's just Phantomilian, but with different voice actors.
(In my opinion, the English dub isn't great, but it's pretty decent. Wish that English doesn't mix in with Phantomilian, and that the English voices fit Klonoa better)
Why does Klonoa sound close to Sonic, the Jason Griffith one?
There's a lot of reasons for that, one reason is that the voice actor auditioned without knowledge of the series with the exception of a picture of the scrapped Klonoa character design change.
And another thing, it's possible that he recognised the art style and went in that direction, honestly his delivery is really good even though certain lines like Wahoo fall flat the rest isn't bad.
So he likely went in that direction because after Door to Phantomile Klonoa does look like a Sonic character, I can't blame him at all.
He'd do a good Sonic though.
@@OneBoredCatbug Sounds like a crappy excuse, because Klonoa already had a better English voice in 'Klonoa Beach Volleyball'.
@@filipeflowerDid you miss the part where it said he had no guide outside of a single picture of Klonoa? It wasn't his fault, it was the creators at Namco
@@zachatck64 I posted that comment 3 years ago, but thanks for that explanation.
I know that they chose the VA based on the look, but if Klonoa is supposed to be 9 during door to phantomile, man did he hit puberty at a very young age
Is this made by saga? Cause the guys could pass for a male cream and cheese, or a parody of them at least
No Namco also I thought the same back when I discovered this game back In 2014.
That was some anime type ass ending right there.
He kind of sounds like Sonic, but there's a style about it that stands out between Eric Stitt and Ryan Drummond
lol, at first, i thought klonoa was a girl XD
Oml same
wow this is so cool
At least they transferred the original music from the PlayStation version .
Not entirely, the choose a stage uses a really nice remaster of the original piece, I wish there was a way to find this version of it online because it's really good.
i love it
Great game!! 😭😭😭
Klonoa's English VA is such a cutie!~ ♡
"Which you watch?"
I felt that
“Sometimes the universe has a cruel sense of humor”
1:01:12
Hewpoe: Klonoa.....the time is come for you to go back. Back to your Phantomile.
Klonoa: No way.
Hewpoe: Goodbye, Klonoa.
Klonoa: But I don't wanna go.
Hewpoe: Goodbye!
Klonoa: I DON'T WANNA GO!
Hewpoe: I SAID GOODBYE!
Klonoa: NO!
I loved this game so much, except for the levels before Ghadius.
Fun fact: King Seadoph's voice actor is Tony Oliver, the voice of Lupin the Third
what's up with everyone bashing the English dub of Klonoa? I like it the way it is.t he only thing I'd say would be that this voice would fit a more mature Klonoa and that the va would need to sound a tad more childish. huepow sounds just fine. someone explain the hate!
It's all about preference, it's the same as subs vs dubs. Some people just don't like the dub because they are either used to the original voice or they don't like how the actor portrays the character. I'm glad you like the english version, but some people don't share your viewpoint. Sorry, hope that answers your question.
Crash Star Gaming yeah, it answers my question perfectly thanks for the response and good video by the way:)
Thank you very much
Klonoa is the best!
What a way to make to feel your efforts were useless.
Imagine, Colleen Clickenbeard doing her kid Gohan voice for Klonoa. How fitting would that be?
I love is voice
Klonoa's voice sounds like a mix of Sonic and Jiminy Cricket
Hmm, I always wondered what Klonoa would sound like if he spoke English. I'll admit that "nerdy teenager" wasn't high on my list, but at least I finally got my answer.
My complaint isn't so much that Klonoa's voice doesn't suit him (though I would have preferred something younger to harken back to the original, If he was reasonably aged up in the remake, that's okay.) its the fact that he has so few lines in the remake. Perhaps it cost more to his original actor back in the Japanese version, but the fact that he hardly emotes or talks throughout the game makes it a lot harder to connect and root for him.
A character does not need to speak to be made relatable. As is proven in games like the Legend of Zelda (Wind Waker, to be specific,) you can have a silent protagonist who can win you over by their quirks, emotes, and actions alone. But Klonoa's constant lack of expression in these cutscenes really don't make up for the trimmed script he's been given. My boy, what have they done to you?
I actually recorded a bunch of lines that they didn’t use.
@@estitt1973 Well darn wasn't expecting the actual VA to show up, that's surprising
I think it got remade so no one needs to worry.
0:40 dat voice
I wish I had a friend that I can hang out with all the time😇😇😇😎
Dont get me wrong the voice actor himself did really good at his preference. But I genuinely dont think the voice fits klonoa. I do agree that his VA killed it with the ending scene. Even after seeing it in the original language and japanese that scene still makes me cry no matter what language it is in.
15:52 Pointless! Worthless! Useless! Hopeless!
Are the old costumes unlockables in the Wiimake? That's so cool! It worked well on the Overworld with his Lunatea's Veil pose. xD
mas games38 The costumes you unlock after beating the game are, the Klonoa 2 costume, the original Door to Phantomile costume and a festival costume. I actually covered all of this in my extras video.
Crash Star Gaming Oh cool! Now that I think about it I believe I saw these in a comparison of them all in a picture.
54:42 I hear that is roar from Godzilla
in 2016, klonoa was met princess klonoca in episode 1 =3
What?
Joka and Ghadius have good voices, I must say
Now that I've played both, this story is kinda like Zelda: Link's Awakening
15:45 This is why Joka is the only good part of the English dub.
The good thing about this game is that it deserved to sell better
