I think the new VA can be quite promising: remember that Genshin sometimes has their VA’s re-record their lines after initial release (like Ayato’s “About Itto” voice line which got replaced nearly a year later, Barbara as a whole, Diona in her Hangout originally featuring Xiangling’s VA for almost a year before Diona’s own VA redid them etc, there’s more but these are the significant ones ), and given the unique circumstances surrounding Tighnari, there’s no doubt that the new VA had to rush through all these lines in time for the update and therefore probably had less time than a VA typically would to familiarise themselves with the character. So while these samples might seem a bit off right now and inconsistent with the voice direction, there’s a chance they’ll eventually be replaced with more polished recordings and overall better performances overtime as the VA gets used to this role naturally instead of the rushed work they had to do on such short notice. I won’t be surprised if the lines we have now are in fact placeholders just so we have something for actor consistency. Zachary is no newbie to the VA scene, and I believe he can do Tighnari justice with the proper voice direction.
I really, really hope that is the case. His lines sound so flat now, where did Tighnari's sass go?! I pulled for Tighnari on his banner because I loved his sass. I really hope they new VA will be able to bring it back!
@@yunamoonlight1015 Not all of his lines are flat, for example I think this Line, "I'll uproot you!" 0:56, is much more lively then the original and has that sense of impact that a Burst line should have. With the "I'll uproot you!" line it's the exact opposite and I personally feel that the original seems flat to me, so I much perfer that new one. If optimizations occur to bring all of them up to par I feel this new VA will surpass the original.
Yeah, I think most fans don't consider just how short notice and rushed this recasting and rerecording was. It's great that Hoyo reacted this fast and the faster the old VA can be replaced the better, but that doesn't change that with this little time to work with, of course the performance will suffer. Voice acting isn't just reading a script once and be done. It's the director and VA working out over a long process just how exactly they want the character to sound (VAs don't choose that. The director does) And then it's recording every voice line and even every little sigh/grunt literally DOZENS of times. There's no way Gordon had any time to do that. I think it's even possible that for "one time" lines (like story and archon quest) they only took a single take and moved on. In comparison the skill/burst etc. lines imo sound much better, and those were most likely the ones they focused on and actually took many takes until they were satisfied with it.
I really love how new VA adding "heh" everywhere! In burst, and in his voice lines... Also 2 out of 3 burst lines are more emotional now! He did a great job. Some players just need more time to adjust
i love the new VA so much more!! it doesn’t quite match the same tone of the original, but honestly, i think zachary’s take on tighnari is much more suited to his character. also, i found that his lines in the archon quest (where he’s speaking more casually) are really well done!!
But I think they were rushed and they could've found a voice that sounds exactly like him. Moff tarkin has like 3 different voice actors that sounded just like him and I think they couldve took their time and actually find a person who's voice sounds exactly the same

I will have to disagree. I do feel the old VA did a better job with the combat voicelines, particularly the "hah. can't see?" and "i hear everything!" It just feels so flat, no oomph. But the new VA did nail the idle and "longer" voicelines. Such a shame he had to turn out to be the creep he is...

@WackyChu he does have a sass but more sarcastic one. Hes new VA also rushed on his voice lines and he didn't quite know how to fit with the character, but his quest lines are much better and you can tell that he has found right tone for him!
They did ZacheryG dirty. Tigh doesnt suit his voice. I think Zachery could have suited other characters better, but he's been lumped with Tigh now. Or vice versa depending on your own opinion.
Ironic how people criticise his new English voice being childish when he sounds more childish in Japanese. But since the language is Japanese and the JP VAs are practically worshipped, hardly anyone bats an eye Edit 2024: Tighnari doesn't have any decent English VAs so it's about time I get used to his Japanese VA. New VA didn't age well either because he's alleged to be a z1on1st.
Why do we need to compare one Language VA to another, hmm? Just because JP department decided a higher/lighter voice is best for them doesn't mean the same for EN. Different market has different preference in voice acting.
I think the old VA had a smoother and calm... more of a mature/"smart" voice. Granted the new VA likely had to rush and couldn't get much practice in .
People who misunderstand "I like the old voice" as "I defend the voice actor actions", are the same entitled Karen/Ken idiots who tell you to "fuck off" for something it's not your fault.
The new VA feels sassier and more enthusiastic, I have to say I really like his spin on the character! I loved the "tired of everyone" attitude the old interpretation had though.
I think Zachery flubbed a lot of the lines, especially the combat ones. They sound flat. He really didnt get time to figure out the character and they musta had him churning out so many lines! I can hear him thinking "Im so done."
Am I the only one who thinks the new VA is way better? He adds so much more emotion to the lines. The old one sounds so dead and boring to me… the new one has the Tighnari sass we all know and love, and the VA adds a nerdy touch to his voice which I think fits very well for Tighnari’s character Edit: Valid points on both sides! Looking back, I still think the new VA is better, but I can definitely see why a lot of people prefer the old one
I just loved the sass in his old voice lines, they also low key sounded more alive and fitting to his character. New VA did fine tho considering he was rushed
i hate to admit it but ur right i did like it better idk if i naturally dont like the new voice bc of mika i just find it sounding so weird i cant take it seriously
@@kevatchiralzin3495 it's pretty fair to cancel a pedo like old Tighnari VA but new VA just sounds like a Mika clone and the voice sounds too strained/forced, and as flat as Hu Tao.
I'm happy his VA changed, but I'm not really a fan of his new voice. Tighnari's supposed to sound like a sassy Forest Ranger who's confident in his actions, like a strong willed leader. His new VA makes him sound.... Uncertain and shy (for lack of better words I can think of). Maybe I just need to listen to his voice to help it grow on me but I'm currently not much of a fan. *Regardless, happy the VA has changed!*
More than a year later and i can confidently say Zach did an amazing job. Sure, VA changes can be jaring when you are uaed to something, but thats why you need fo give it some fime before you comment on it. Ive had experiences where i havent been happy with VA changes but im actually so in love with the way Tighnari is right now. And im confident most people share my opinion.
It may be bc I got to know him with the new VA, but I like the execution a lot more. Same with the vocal color! He sounds more sassy and lively which goes well with Tighnari's character
It's just what people were used to back then. No matter who his new VA was gonna be people would still complain. Regardless, enough time has passed and I genuinely think his new VA brought more life to the character than the new one
It's interesting how the intonation and inflection completely changes the implied attitude of the lines. When it Snows line: Old: In awe and distracted by the weather almost talking to himself. Gentle surprise. Kind offer. New: Excitedly talking to traveler about weather. Confused surprise. Matter of fact offer. In general the new voice sounds a lot more peppy, matter of fact and lacks the same sass that the old voice had. I imagine they might do a re-record over time. But I do enjoy the new idle, feels a bit more lively.
He felt like an adventurer but also that quirky nerd vibe friend that you somehow always get along with Some do feel a bit flat or too exaggerated but I wish they used the Barbara VA treatment. I will not be surprised that this audio are just a quick voice over to just replace the OLD VA line
At the very least they can rerecord over time should people say what they don't like to Hoyo. Since they listened to the community backlash at the old VA's doings, I would say they're still listening and will read the feedback.
In my opinion I miss he's old sassy voice it fits the character more better but don't get me wrong I like the new voice it sounds really good but just some voiclines sound like Mika which is why it bothers me a little but after hearing what the old VA did it really bothered me too listen his voice as a thignari main I just wish that the new VA did the same delivery as the old one did still the new VA did a pretty good job
i completely agree i think the new va has this nasaly tone that makes it overall sound similar to mika and childish, when they said they were going to get a new VA i wasnt expecting them to change to someone like this. wished theyd pick someone with maybe a bit more of a mature tone? or maybe the new delivery just needed more directing? idk i just feel like he cant get rid of that childih nasal tone regardless. hmm who knows. but i deffinitely missed his old voice a lot it was so perfect for tighnari. i l ook forward t omore improvement but for now i have no reason to play in english anymore haha
I know why the va was changed, but I still like the old one much more. And it is such a sad thing, than it was needed to be changed. I still play on english, but think to change - because for all that time i just can`t get used to it( ande decide which language I prefer too). I like the old one much more because it was so calm, and just fits the character more. now Tignari is sounded like some nerd( so sorry, but it is how I feel it).
I miss his old voice, even though it's good that Elliot is gone. But a friend of mine once said that this VA sounds more like the kind of person who would mouth off to the 2nd Fatui Harbinger, and I agree. His combat lines are also way better.
I think the old voice sounds softer and more mature. The new one sounds less emotional, clearer and younger I don't know what suits the character best, I would like to mix these qualities to get the ideal
He shouldn't sound like that though. He's not a student. He's a full on graduated, and confident adult. Sure this new voice would fit if he was still a student. But he's not
Not really, the old one you can tell Tighnari's personality, he's a smart sassy guy who was confident and was wise. The new one I barely see those traits, Tighnari doesn't sound bad, it just doesn't compensate his personality. In the new one he feels kinda shy and a newbie schoolar more than what he is, an veteran.
@vladimirgalicia9331 exactly. The thing that bothers me the most is that his new VA sounds like an Edgy teen Scholar. He supposed to be a confident leader. The Old va fit his character so much more. Anyone who likes the new one more just doesn't understand Tighnari
So I know some information of situation with old VA and why his changed. But I really like more old voice of Tighnari than new. Old voice is really calm, relaxing and suitable for the atmosphere of the character.
It's sad they got rid of him but that guy deserves it. They shouldve took their time instead of rushing for a new VA because moff tarkin had like 3 different voice actors that almost sounded the same
@@Osamxxxit’s a simple google search. long story short he’s a groomer and so I’m pretty sure he either stepped down (for “guilt” or something) or Hoyoverse outright fired him.
Tldr old tighnari is calm, has had enough coffee, and ready for the day. New tighnari is DONE with it, needs a raise, but will still bandage you up after getting attacked by a scorpian. (I think it has a little more personality too)
Old voice sounded like he was on the verge of tears half the time, he just sounded so dead and monotone. The new VA did SO MUCH better, giving life to tighnari, his battle voice lines sound more alive and aggressive, and sassy at the same time. Zachary perfected the voice, giving him a nerdy, but sassy sort of character. His new voice 100% suits him way more
tbh watching this so much time later I do prefer the new over the old one, I guess the old one only sounded more fitting because that's what we were used to listen at the time
@@CallMeEchoNow ooh, same opinion. I like the new one better, maybe because I'm a new player and have never heard of his voice until the drama starts, but I really like the new voice.
@@Kisune. what's wrong with sounding like a nerd? It's not even really a nerd voice, his voice is much more calmer. TBH, it fits him IMO. Isn't he is supposed to sound like that?
I have always used to Japanese version to the game, never heard the English version of Tighnari so I think the new one sounds well and he adds more emotions to his lines!
I prefer new tbh he sounds better and more clear to me He also sounds more nerdy and it fits him really well! I also feel like the old one keeps the same tone the whole time while with the new voice actor he gives tighnari more life and stuff love the new one wayyy more!
Although I think Elliot definately made a perfect voice for Tighnari his voice might make a lot of people uncomfortable. Maybe the new va could put in a bit more sass
Being a new player to Genshin Impact, I'm used to Tighnari's new voice, so it gives me a different picture from how the old players see Tighnari as. I like his new voice better. I don't get why people think it didn't sound mature, but to me, it sounds mature enough, but had a little bit of youth and life in it. The old one was bland and stuffy, I wouldn't even enjoy playing Tighnari with that voice whether he was voiced by the old VA or not. He sounds like he has confidence in his knowledge and actions with his new voice. That's just my opinion.♥️
I prefer the new voice because of the combat lines. For hearty lines that need to be delivered with lots of emotion like, “I’ll uproot you!” The old VA didn’t do a great job.
If you’ve heard the song about Kaveah being jealous…I wished they used the va from that for new toghnari. He sounds perfect and has the sassiness we love. New guy is fine but Zachery Piser is better
At first I didn't like what I heard of the new VA. It just sounded so different. The reason I fell in love with Tighnari in the first place was because of his voice. It had such a pleasant tone. I loved it. I loved the sass, but also the gentle mentoring. But of course the old VA HAD to go. No questions asked. I remember Cyyu saying fans should give it some time to get used to it, because it's only natural for it to feel off after such a change. He was quite right. Now I actually quite like the new VA. The tone isn't as pleasant to me, but the performance grew on me. I really like the nerdy part. He gets sooo excited when being in a situation he can absorb himself into. Yeah. It was a really really good change and I still love Tighnari ^^
the new voice is good, but I don't know about the voice direction his cadence doesn't give me sassy collage drop out vibes. (I now he graduated from the academia and just refused to stay as an alumni, but he gave off drop out energy)
Sigh, though I do understand and I agree with the change in VA... The fact that the old VA had a nasal quality in their voice gives me the image that Tighnari is in fact a researcher and scholar and not just a BOI TM.
I really miss old Tighnari. His voice was perfect for a good and mature leader and teacher. This new dub makes him feel like he's a 20 years old dude who's new at his workplace but studied more than others so they can't complain about his position
I don't care what y'all say. I'll accept Tighnari played by Greg Heffley every day of the week. (Zachary Gordon played Greg in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies)
Ngl definitely liked the old voice better for Tighnari, but I do like the new one here n there. If Genshin was to just go over some of the lines again with him on certain parts, he'd totally nail Tighnari the character! It feels like the old Barbara situation again, but definitely can be fixed. I especially like the new VA's voice lines for "nip it in the bud", "I'll bury you", & "can't see" a lot (gave me a slight Chat noir vibe). xD He's definitely doing his best, that much I can say for sure & look forward to listening to his voice lines. : )
idgaf what everyone thinks about old VA, his voice is so much better. I wish that there was a mod that could return his old voice, at least combat voice lines.
man, still sucks to this day. his old voice helped a lot in making me like his character. i keep thinking how i could never get tired of listening to him. it's so distinct and it just sounds like how someone like tighnari will sound like. no hate to the new va, but hearing his voice just felt like he sounds like a typical anime boy. he kinda lost that charm of having such distinct soothing and sassy voice.
I miss the old Va he sounded like a young adult and a intellectual. New one sounds like a child it’s odd and off putting. It made me like his character less and completely changes him as a character and his personality . It’s just way different. Like new one just doesn’t know the character well enough or decided to do his own thing? I’ll never get over fact he sounds like a kid now
I do adore the newer VA better. Zach did an amazing job. I did read up on what happened to the older one since I was mostly focused on school, not paying attention to the drama and stuff. Man was I disappointed. I’m so glad I was able to hear Zach’s voice when I first arrived in Sumer🙂↕️✨ Tighnari became a new INSTANT fav

The new VA feels sassier and more enthusiastic, I have to say I really like his spin on the character!
I loved the "tired of everyone" attitude the old interpretation had though.
I think Zachery flubbed a lot of the lines, especially the combat ones. They sound flat. He really didnt get time to figure out the character and they musta had him churning out so many lines! I can hear him thinking "Im so done."
@@TheDramacist I actually like the new one tho
0:47 idk why but he sounds like sonic lmao
Think you mean Sliver 😂
@@cristianorodrigues7283 no, definitely sonic. the new VA
@@jack5mikemotown oh ah yea I can hear it lol
Am I the only one who thinks the new VA is way better? He adds so much more emotion to the lines. The old one sounds so dead and boring to me… the new one has the Tighnari sass we all know and love, and the VA adds a nerdy touch to his voice which I think fits very well for Tighnari’s character
Edit: Valid points on both sides! Looking back, I still think the new VA is better, but I can definitely see why a lot of people prefer the old one
Well I'm sure to most, the old va sounds like a professional/mentor rather than a nerdy outcast. (Sorry Gordon)
I just loved the sass in his old voice lines, they also low key sounded more alive and fitting to his character. New VA did fine tho considering he was rushed
Nah just u
I like the new one because he doesn’t say farest instead of forest
I AGREE
Uhh ... honestly the old voice sounded more natural and fitting.... Tho the old VA did disappoint in actions he did better with voicing the character.
i hate to admit it but ur right i did like it better idk if i naturally dont like the new voice bc of mika i just find it sounding so weird i cant take it seriously
Same. I stopped plaing tignari after the VA change. He now sounds like an edgy teen instead of a serious adult@@beans665
Nah I def like his new voice actor. OK EXCEPT WHEN HE SAYS I HEAR EVERYTHING LOL
what about the 'ill uproot you'
gotta say the old va did better, imo the new va made tighnari sound like grown up mika 😂
I hear everything is so bad in the new voice, it doesn't have any impact
@@ezrymii I like both don’t get me wrong but the new Va tried to be as close as possible to the original so I give him credit where it’s due
@@AloyImpact new VA was not allowed to listen to the original VA's lines, so I have no clue where you got that from
Idk I prefer new voice actor. I like the soft of his old but I still prefer the more firm voice
the new voice actor actually puts more life and personality to the character. . I like it. .
?
Are we listening to the same new VA 💀💀💀
Bullshit
@@natalienatz1903 these hypocrites gen Z pieces of doo doo are all about cancel culture 😂😂 new dude gets a 7/10 his tone is too heavy imo
@@kevatchiralzin3495 it's pretty fair to cancel a pedo like old Tighnari VA but new VA just sounds like a Mika clone and the voice sounds too strained/forced, and as flat as Hu Tao.
They mika-ed the new speaking lines, combat lines weren’t as bad but honestly the old softness of the voice fit his character more
Indeed
When I first heard it, it did sound like Mika 💀
no that’s what i was thinking it sounds like mika 😭 i rlly liked the old voice better BUT ofc not the actual VA just his voice for tighnari
Imo the older one sounds more like "Tighnari" than the new one. He has a gentler and calmer voice.
I'm happy his VA changed, but I'm not really a fan of his new voice.
Tighnari's supposed to sound like a sassy Forest Ranger who's confident in his actions, like a strong willed leader. His new VA makes him sound.... Uncertain and shy (for lack of better words I can think of).
Maybe I just need to listen to his voice to help it grow on me but I'm currently not much of a fan. *Regardless, happy the VA has changed!*
They did that on purpose, because a similar voice could make victims unconfortable, confirmed via Cyno VA.
@@archerdamo9160 Ah I see, that makes sense. Thanks.
Same
I guees the new va want to sound more friendly
@@archerdamo9160 thats nice of them
More than a year later and i can confidently say Zach did an amazing job. Sure, VA changes can be jaring when you are uaed to something, but thats why you need fo give it some fime before you comment on it. Ive had experiences where i havent been happy with VA changes but im actually so in love with the way Tighnari is right now. And im confident most people share my opinion.
It may be bc I got to know him with the new VA, but I like the execution a lot more. Same with the vocal color! He sounds more sassy and lively which goes well with Tighnari's character
It's just what people were used to back then. No matter who his new VA was gonna be people would still complain. Regardless, enough time has passed and I genuinely think his new VA brought more life to the character than the new one
It's interesting how the intonation and inflection completely changes the implied attitude of the lines.
When it Snows line:
Old: In awe and distracted by the weather almost talking to himself. Gentle surprise. Kind offer.
New: Excitedly talking to traveler about weather. Confused surprise. Matter of fact offer.
In general the new voice sounds a lot more peppy, matter of fact and lacks the same sass that the old voice had. I imagine they might do a re-record over time. But I do enjoy the new idle, feels a bit more lively.
He felt like an adventurer but also that quirky nerd vibe friend that you somehow always get along with
Some do feel a bit flat or too exaggerated but I wish they used the Barbara VA treatment. I will not be surprised that this audio are just a quick voice over to just replace the OLD VA line
At the very least they can rerecord over time should people say what they don't like to Hoyo. Since they listened to the community backlash at the old VA's doings, I would say they're still listening and will read the feedback.
I remember when he sprinted he used to do something like a little woof and I loved that, now it's not there anymore and I kind of miss that one
In my opinion I miss he's old sassy voice it fits the character more better but don't get me wrong I like the new voice it sounds really good but just some voiclines sound like Mika which is why it bothers me a little but after hearing what the old VA did it really bothered me too listen his voice as a thignari main I just wish that the new VA did the same delivery as the old one did still the new VA did a pretty good job
Same, also i hate the fact how similar it is to mika
i completely agree i think the new va has this nasaly tone that makes it overall sound similar to mika and childish, when they said they were going to get a new VA i wasnt expecting them to change to someone like this. wished theyd pick someone with maybe a bit more of a mature tone? or maybe the new delivery just needed more directing? idk i just feel like he cant get rid of that childih nasal tone regardless. hmm who knows. but i deffinitely missed his old voice a lot it was so perfect for tighnari. i l ook forward t omore improvement but for now i have no reason to play in english anymore haha
Thank you! I miss the old voice to😢😭😭😭😭😭
I know why the va was changed, but I still like the old one much more. And it is such a sad thing, than it was needed to be changed. I still play on english, but think to change - because for all that time i just can`t get used to it( ande decide which language I prefer too). I like the old one much more because it was so calm, and just fits the character more. now Tignari is sounded like some nerd( so sorry, but it is how I feel it).
I miss his old voice, even though it's good that Elliot is gone. But a friend of mine once said that this VA sounds more like the kind of person who would mouth off to the 2nd Fatui Harbinger, and I agree. His combat lines are also way better.
I like the old one more
But the change was also very much for the better…
(Look it up if your confused)
When it comes to personal life and outcome as an individual, yes it's better. When it comes to performance, nah. the old one was better.
I think the new VA adds more personality into each of his lines like different emotions while the old Vas tone is almost the same.
The new VA 100% fits the character better, and also has much more emotion in his lines.
I think he previously showed a purity and calmness in his way of speaking, which suited the character perfectly.
Tighnari's old VA souned so relaxing 😭
Adult Mika that graduates Biology from Sumeru 😭
I think the old voice sounds softer and more mature. The new one sounds less emotional, clearer and younger
I don't know what suits the character best, I would like to mix these qualities to get the ideal
This aged like milk
LMAAOOO
why?
Uhhh why?
@@justaguy4656 I’m guessing because people found out the new VA supports Israel? I’m not too sure though
@@stxllarsuso the old va killed his family member, and the new one supports Israel
😂
2:15 this voice line is so fucking cute, he sounds so proud of himself! "One swish and it's dry :]]"
That one is very cute.
He shouldn't sound like that though. He's not a student. He's a full on graduated, and confident adult.
Sure this new voice would fit if he was still a student. But he's not
0:20 tighnari minecraft s villager side was on
I feel like most of the people who say the old VA was better only say that because they were used to it more.
Not really, the old one you can tell Tighnari's personality, he's a smart sassy guy who was confident and was wise. The new one I barely see those traits, Tighnari doesn't sound bad, it just doesn't compensate his personality. In the new one he feels kinda shy and a newbie schoolar more than what he is, an veteran.
@vladimirgalicia9331 exactly. The thing that bothers me the most is that his new VA sounds like an Edgy teen Scholar.
He supposed to be a confident leader. The Old va fit his character so much more. Anyone who likes the new one more just doesn't understand Tighnari
So I know some information of situation with old VA and why his changed. But I really like more old voice of Tighnari than new. Old voice is really calm, relaxing and suitable for the atmosphere of the character.
Old va better 😭😭😭😭 He has such a gentle voice, it really suited his character.
It's sad they got rid of him but that guy deserves it. They shouldve took their time instead of rushing for a new VA because moff tarkin had like 3 different voice actors that almost sounded the same
@@ChristopherPortorreal-ol2mj sorry, but what wrong with old VA? I really don't know about this situation.
@@Osamxxxit’s a simple google search. long story short he’s a groomer and so I’m pretty sure he either stepped down (for “guilt” or something) or Hoyoverse outright fired him.
I actually think old tighnari souds more in character. The new voice sometimes cracs and sounds like a child... ":)
Same.. whole character changed. Doesn't feel the same to me anymore.
ssshhhhhhhhh
fr :,(
I miss his old voice so much.. It fit him so much better 😭 I never played him anymore since the change.. 😔
damnn me too, at first I didnt mind about the voice change but it literally made me leave Tighnari on my account even when I pulled on his banner.
Same, I especially miss the line at 02:09 I used to hear it all the time
fr
Yall are on smth, the last one sounded so souless
@@natothecringyfurrfox6380 exactly, it was accurate to the character
I've gotten used to the new one now but it sounds kinda memey when you compare it to the old one which had a more chilled out aura
Tldr old tighnari is calm, has had enough coffee, and ready for the day.
New tighnari is DONE with it, needs a raise, but will still bandage you up after getting attacked by a scorpian. (I think it has a little more personality too)
gonna have to make a new one of these🥳
Old voice sounded like he was on the verge of tears half the time, he just sounded so dead and monotone. The new VA did SO MUCH better, giving life to tighnari, his battle voice lines sound more alive and aggressive, and sassy at the same time. Zachary perfected the voice, giving him a nerdy, but sassy sort of character. His new voice 100% suits him way more
Agreed, there are some lines where old VA seems to not be trying at all.
tbh watching this so much time later I do prefer the new over the old one, I guess the old one only sounded more fitting because that's what we were used to listen at the time
i love his new va so much he really pulls off the sassy fox that is tighnari
How? His voice is so flat
@@mrminecraftcubeable i personally think he does i dont think his voice is all that flat
@@CallMeEchoNow ooh, same opinion. I like the new one better, maybe because I'm a new player and have never heard of his voice until the drama starts, but I really like the new voice.
He was mika-fied 💀
@@Kisune. what's wrong with sounding like a nerd? It's not even really a nerd voice, his voice is much more calmer. TBH, it fits him IMO. Isn't he is supposed to sound like that?
I have always used to Japanese version to the game, never heard the English version of Tighnari so I think the new one sounds well and he adds more emotions to his lines!
I prefer new tbh he sounds better and more clear to me
He also sounds more nerdy and it fits him really well!
I also feel like the old one keeps the same tone the whole time while with the new voice actor he gives tighnari more life and stuff love the new one wayyy more!
I honestly loved the old one. he sounds like a smart sarcastic asshole. the second one is basically just benette role playing as tighnari
i feel tighnari being a good boy with soft heart than before 😂
Old guy sounds like hes reading lines, new guy is a bit more in the role. Cool
Although I think Elliot definately made a perfect voice for Tighnari his voice might make a lot of people uncomfortable. Maybe the new va could put in a bit more sass
He sounds so much more cute and cocky and silly now hehehe I love him :3
New VA sounds like Mika reading quotes from Tighnari
Completely forgot how his old voice sounded like lol
The old voice sounds wiser and calmer, too bad the VA wasn't :(
Being a new player to Genshin Impact, I'm used to Tighnari's new voice, so it gives me a different picture from how the old players see Tighnari as. I like his new voice better. I don't get why people think it didn't sound mature, but to me, it sounds mature enough, but had a little bit of youth and life in it. The old one was bland and stuffy, I wouldn't even enjoy playing Tighnari with that voice whether he was voiced by the old VA or not. He sounds like he has confidence in his knowledge and actions with his new voice. That's just my opinion.♥️
Never played with the old one but hearing this I feel like nothing of value was lost.
Welp bad news you may have to make another version
WDYM
@@EmergxcyLayla_xxdiluc i think
@@Dollettepaws diluc did nothing wrong I watched a video abt it the person was on 18+ web
@@EmergxcyLayla_xx nope his new VA is a Zionist
@@Kurukurukuruin.what does that mean?
I prefer the new voice because of the combat lines. For hearty lines that need to be delivered with lots of emotion like, “I’ll uproot you!” The old VA didn’t do a great job.
I like the old va's "I Hear EVERYTHING" more than the new one's "i hear everything"
If you’ve heard the song about Kaveah being jealous…I wished they used the va from that for new toghnari. He sounds perfect and has the sassiness we love. New guy is fine but Zachery Piser is better
At first I didn't like what I heard of the new VA. It just sounded so different. The reason I fell in love with Tighnari in the first place was because of his voice. It had such a pleasant tone. I loved it. I loved the sass, but also the gentle mentoring. But of course the old VA HAD to go. No questions asked. I remember Cyyu saying fans should give it some time to get used to it, because it's only natural for it to feel off after such a change. He was quite right. Now I actually quite like the new VA. The tone isn't as pleasant to me, but the performance grew on me. I really like the nerdy part. He gets sooo excited when being in a situation he can absorb himself into. Yeah. It was a really really good change and I still love Tighnari ^^
the new voice is good, but I don't know about the voice direction his cadence doesn't give me sassy collage drop out vibes.
(I now he graduated from the academia and just refused to stay as an alumni, but he gave off drop out energy)
I really liked the old va's voice it suited tighnari oh well I think I the new va did a great job too
The new va is nice and adds more emotion to tighnaris character but for me the old va suits him more because i see tighnari as a more calm person
He sounds like grown up MIKA😂😂
TRUE
Exactly what I thought 😭
Old:I HEAR EVERYTHING!!!!
New: i HeAr EvErYtHiNg 🤓
0:45 Tighnari
0:47 Sonic
Yep
Sigh, though I do understand and I agree with the change in VA... The fact that the old VA had a nasal quality in their voice gives me the image that Tighnari is in fact a researcher and scholar and not just a BOI TM.
I really miss old Tighnari. His voice was perfect for a good and mature leader and teacher. This new dub makes him feel like he's a 20 years old dude who's new at his workplace but studied more than others so they can't complain about his position
its pretty close most of the time, but i think the old VA had better sounding combat phrases, while the new one has a better dialogue sound.
2:14 y’all are saying this one is better ??? hell nah
I don't care what y'all say. I'll accept Tighnari played by Greg Heffley every day of the week.
(Zachary Gordon played Greg in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies)
Ngl definitely liked the old voice better for Tighnari, but I do like the new one here n there. If Genshin was to just go over some of the lines again with him on certain parts, he'd totally nail Tighnari the character! It feels like the old Barbara situation again, but definitely can be fixed. I especially like the new VA's voice lines for "nip it in the bud", "I'll bury you", & "can't see" a lot (gave me a slight Chat noir vibe). xD He's definitely doing his best, that much I can say for sure & look forward to listening to his voice lines. : )
I got Tighnari like 3 weeks ago and I just now found out that he used to have a different va but I like his new one better!
Хм мне кажется новый слишком игривый для его характера.
2:20 the way he said dry 😭😭😭
I COMPLAINED SO HARD ABOUT THIS
idgaf what everyone thinks about old VA, his voice is so much better. I wish that there was a mod that could return his old voice, at least combat voice lines.
Why is no one mentioning the fact that the new VA is literally Greg Heffley
The old voice actor kinds matched his personality more
man, still sucks to this day. his old voice helped a lot in making me like his character. i keep thinking how i could never get tired of listening to him. it's so distinct and it just sounds like how someone like tighnari will sound like.
no hate to the new va, but hearing his voice just felt like he sounds like a typical anime boy. he kinda lost that charm of having such distinct soothing and sassy voice.
I miss the old Va he sounded like a young adult and a intellectual. New one sounds like a child it’s odd and off putting. It made me like his character less and completely changes him as a character and his personality . It’s just way different. Like new one just doesn’t know the character well enough or decided to do his own thing?
I’ll never get over fact he sounds like a kid now
I do adore the newer VA better. Zach did an amazing job. I did read up on what happened to the older one since I was mostly focused on school, not paying attention to the drama and stuff. Man was I disappointed. I’m so glad I was able to hear Zach’s voice when I first arrived in Sumer🙂↕️✨ Tighnari became a new INSTANT fav
I feel warmer aura from new voice actor
Seeing the comments I might be the only one, but I really, really like the new voice!
You are not the only one. I really like the new one too
Agreed I really love the new voice and it fits perfectly with what I imagined him sounding like in my head!
me too
Я ДУМАЛА Я БОЛЬШЕ НЕ УСЛЫШУ СТАРОГО ТИГНАРИ ААААААААААА 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
After so long, I love the new VA so much more
The new voice... 🗣🛐🛐🛐
Honestly I keep hearing Hayner lol. Zachary did a great job!
ROXAS!
