SAME QUESTION. I miss that voice... The new one is not bad either, you can see that the VA worked hard on the voice acting to show the personality, but really, the previous voice was sweeter 😭😭😭 I love Berial so much.. It hit me a little when I heard a new voice
I think I like how they broke kind of the stereotypical "they need to sound how they look" because take Igor or Reinir for example... i mean Igor sounds like a clown to be honest not a tombstone jumping graveborn haven a sword in his neck... but i quit like it maybe the voices fit the storyline as well...
idk if he appears in the main story yet but igor's affinity tales tell of him *looking* scary to most people but actually mostly just being a silly, mischievous guy! so yeah his voice actually does make a lot of sense
@@DangerGrey Yeah since posting I heard more of the new voices and they feel weird, I think you didn't like Brutus but personally I liked his previous voice more, same with Thoran :'(
I totally agree!! I love many of them - Lucius has crept his way up into possibly my favorite out of nowhere 🤩 And I’m so glad it is appreciated- I definitely thought it was worth sharing and making available for everyone this week/month while the game is fresh and most ppl don’t have all heroes yet :)
@@DangerGrey If they needed to have him sound like an angry chainsmoker, they should have gotten someone who sounds similar to Michael McConnohie as the Lich King in WoW. Mike has been my favorite voice actor for years; he has one of the most imposing, spellbinding voices I've ever heard and I love it.
i got used to Thoran’s new voice and it isn’t actually that bad (unlike brutus) it can be passable..but he’s just not the same, his old voice will always be remembered and missed :’(
My husband is a voice actor and he says there is 20 auditions for AFK out and they pay ass. He only knew they were AFK characters because we used to play AFK Arena religiously.
@@abbybrown1489 Abby - do you have Discord? could you DM me @DangerGrey so I could ask you a little more about this? I am also a Voice actor out here in Los Angeles, I've no idea why my agent isn't on top of this but I would like to reach out to Farlight regarding it, so anything else you could share would be lovely. Thank you SO much for sharing this information, hope to hear back from you ASAP. ~DG
Oh man, did they? Not another one 😔 they changed Berial’s line reading but not the actor and not even the words of dialogue, just the line read - and now it’s horrible comparatively. The old one was one of the most memorable lines in all the whole of the English lines catalogue. Now it’s throwaway at best. Tragic. But the wrong kind of clowning.
@@DangerGrey yep, they also changed other characters lines, can't remember which ones but my heart hurts everytime I hear the new ones and not the ones I'm used to...
This game has been really great but ive honestly never seen such a big game with such bad voice directing: Cecia’s ult voiceline not matching the tone of the animation, Lucius shouting everything all the time, Satrana not pronouncing Antandra correctly, Koko legit making me uncomfortable in the character screen, Brutus in general. I wouldn’t be so nitpicky in a smaller game but this game is huge 😂
Brutus is awful, especially compared to his AFKA counterpart, Shakir is horrifically bad, doesn’t match his character at all, and oh my god…. The new Valen is so horribly miscast it’s an actual crime against good art. Have you heard the original guy? He was actually sexy, suave, and funny/fun. A believable swashbuckler. Not this dweeby whiny Ferris Bueller-minus-the-charisma. I dont doubt the guy has some talent, you can hear it, but he does NOT embody or even understand his role at ALL. My guess is they had a Chinese director who “speaks English” handle the voice direction and this was the result, but it really is quite a mystery when you consider how GOOD all of the voicing was during the entire year of beta…. The original Mirael was *divine* and knew how to be lowkey seductive… this one would come on to a vacuum cleaner.
@@DangerGrey I think they changed Brutus' voice again recently. His new voice actor is Jon Bailey, who played Optimus Prime in a few Transformers cartoons and games (quite well too, he sounds very similar to Peter Cullen). He only posted the news on RUclips six days ago. ruclips.net/user/shortsMoAFZ9u_rfU
Recently came back to AFK Journey after months of not playing only to find out my beloved Antandra, Hewynn and Thoran's voices got *BUTCHERED* So now I'm here just to hear their better original voices (Their voice changing is the reason I play the game on mute now)
54:42 does ANYBODY know who voices hammie? she sound exactly like someone who used to dub nepeta leijon 12 years ago and i've been on the hunt for at least 7 years
I miss Hewynn's voice 😭 even though I didn't understand it, it was very lovely. The same goes for Brutus and Korin. Their old voices felt so heartwarming and comforting, and now they just sound like a couple of grumpy people shouting. Idk... I think the new voices don't fit them very well...
None that has ever been given. I believe they are vastly out of touch with their Western audience and I am trying to make an impact in influencing their decision making process on these kinds of things for the good of the English speaking lore community 😩💜🎩
I just started to notice the voice changes and for some reason I don't like them in some characters. Thoran got killed in my ears and I still have mixed feelings about Brutus, I don't like the new Hewwyn either. But at least something was for the better, like Korin. Im hella sad cuz Thoran was one of the characters I liked the VA more on the entire game, I feel all that Royalty feeling of him just gone.
Yes I agree except about Korin - i loved Korin, I thought it was seriously the most accurate character VA in the game before they changed it. He was the absolute perfect “old man who is hanging it up after years as a mercenary, but will always have the backs of the friends and neighbors he lives near now”. Come on- you’ll need my spear! But YES THEY HAVE KILLED THORAN 😭 now he’s just an angry samurai - all the ghostly royalty is just out the window.
@@DangerGrey He. indeed, got betrayed as hell on this one, and im pretty sure we will never get his old voice back. How can a game so big and so new do so many mistakes all the time its beyond me.
I know!! I miss their voices so much!! Make sure to let them know in the surveys that you would like them to fix these voices and whatever else bothers you - it’s where we get to have a voice!!
THE OLD BERIAL VOICE LINES WERE SO MUCH CUTER WHY DID THEY CHANGE THEMMMMM😭😭😭😭😭😭
REALL
SAME QUESTION. I miss that voice... The new one is not bad either, you can see that the VA worked hard on the voice acting to show the personality, but really, the previous voice was sweeter 😭😭😭
I love Berial so much.. It hit me a little when I heard a new voice
They had better not change Reinier's voice. Please no
@@asnodt2324 fr. He has a perfect voice considering his character
@@litteralyanowl Exactly
I even bought Berial yesterday just to hear his voice in this video. Didn't know it was changed, I was so sad 😞
I think I like how they broke kind of the stereotypical "they need to sound how they look" because take Igor or Reinir for example... i mean Igor sounds like a clown to be honest not a tombstone jumping graveborn haven a sword in his neck... but i quit like it maybe the voices fit the storyline as well...

@@trickturne Right!? people complain but i think the devs did quite good with the voices
Every time Odie says "aww, good day boss" and salutes, I smile. Love him and his voice lines so much.
BRING BACK MY GIRL ANTANDRA AND LET US MAKE SOME NOISE FOR OUT VICTORY!!!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
i didn't expect reinier to sound like a reliable butler. 😂
23:49 a time stamp for myself because I miss Antandras old voice 💔
ME TOO DAWG 😭
Yo me three. I just hopped on and j was like "huh?" That doesn't sound like here
Thanks for this vid, I already miss Hewynn's old voice, it was really unique 😭 and I say that despite not liking her voice at first
Meanwhile I still feel like Satrana's voice lines really need to be changed but they still haven't 😭 somebody give my girl some love
I totally agree, glad I could help, but I really want them to fix the voices as well! The original cast was so much better
@@DangerGrey Yeah since posting I heard more of the new voices and they feel weird, I think you didn't like Brutus but personally I liked his previous voice more, same with Thoran :'(
TYSM FOR THIS I LOVE BERIAL
Lucius feels like the type of guy who would say "Haha! Ha! One!" unironically
i like the voices of the heroes so much
I appreciate this.
Some of these are really good.
I totally agree!! I love many of them - Lucius has crept his way up into possibly my favorite out of nowhere 🤩
And I’m so glad it is appreciated- I definitely thought it was worth sharing and making available for everyone this week/month while the game is fresh and most ppl don’t have all heroes yet :)
I love Igor, looks like Genji but sounds like Junkrat
Who’s Junkrat? 🤷🏼♀️🙈
I love Igor as well….
“Buried! 🤩 …and then **burned** 😌”
😍😍😍
@@DangerGrey Junkrat and Genji are from Overwatch
56:04 I came for Vanoss before this. 😂
moaning hamster sound effect
I only recently started the game, and I love the voices so much
You're lucky not to get used to old voices. The biggest disappointment for me is the voice miss Hewynn's
I feel very validated now that people also dislike Brutus and shakirs voice lines. 😂
Spread the word homie - it’s okay to talk about how bad Shakir and Brutus *and Valen* are 😹🍑
Brutus sounds like a soft gentle guy.
Rhys my beloved ❤
9:23 after Lilith changed 2 of my favourite voice-over (thoran )
Yes I know - I miss the old Thoran maybe most of all - he had Ice King vibes from Adventure Time and I really thought he nailed the role here
@@DangerGrey If they needed to have him sound like an angry chainsmoker, they should have gotten someone who sounds similar to Michael McConnohie as the Lich King in WoW.

@@DangerGrey I don't play with that one much... but the new voice also sounds strange.
Is there any justified reason for the change of votes? I don't like any of the new ones...
