This down to Japanese companies and their English studios always casting the same people, and often casting pack a day Andy's and Andretta's to younger characters. Hard to sound much older when you already sound like you have throat cancer. I always laugh at Alisaie from FFXIV for that reason. For female characters especially, I can't help but shake the feeling it's because there's a clique of people in the English client companies that hate the obsession with young female characters in a lot of Japanese games so they strike out with poor casting choices.

I've always been really bothered by the poor quality of writing and voicing in localized Japanese games as compared to Western-made games because these games really deserve a lot better. A lot of love goes into them.
The animation they play depends on what weapon they hold and what class they are. Most characters have a unique one for the class they’re meant to go to - eg ingrid is the only one with unique Pegasus knight animations, sylvain has unique cavalier animations, etc. They play the same animation they play when they’re selected most of the time.

Dedue ;w; That man still has all my love. His Japanese voice is great. I was totally unprepared for how different Ingrid's Japanese voice sounds compared to her English voice, but I think it still fits. Also dat scream from Mercie. That's a healer who can bring the pain. Blue Lions all the way! But for some of the others, I think I prefer Alois' English voice more. Manuela still sounds gorgeous, though. Dunno how to feel about Balthus though... he doesn't sound as rough-and-tumble as he should. Edit: Never mind, his timeskip has that rough-and-tumble tone.
@@SweaterPuppys It's not really a gimmick, she really grows from it and learns to break out of her shell. It's a major part of her backstory and her character development. That it's also funny is kind of besides the point. The seiyuu sounds like she's putting her best into it, at least. I don't feel that from the English VA.
3:40 What happened to Ignatz? He's the same age as the others, was he castrated? I'd swap his and Leonie's voices to be honest! Marianne has such a nice voice, her english counterpart did a great job too.
Yeah. Marianne has a very calming voice in both jp and English. -a random person who I swear is not a bird in disguise. Pay no mind to the odd back shape.
I’m accustomed to EN Hubernaut’s laughter, but I think his JP voice has its own charm - it goes for a soft, amused chuckle (as if you’ve just fallen from your hiding place as he comes to murder you) where in EN it’s more of a triumphant cackle.
whoa, okay some of the time skip voices actually sound so different?? iirc none of the english ones have much of a difference post time skip 🤔 enough people are mentioning bernie's jp voice, but WHAT is jeritza's lmaooooo, my man sounds crazy in english and japanese 😂
ignatz’s voice gets deeper post-timeskip in the english dub! not by too much, but the change is there edit: whoops skimmed over the “much of” in your comment. yes you’re right haha
Because you started with english voices. You should have tried starting the game in Japanese voices, you would understand a lot of substances that were lost in english

Their hp actually affects their voices. Thats why some voices here seem a little different. This is pretty much normal on maddening tho lol
Thanks for pointing that out, that's a neat detail! I play with jp audio but well I'm on normal mode for my first playthrough lol
Always admired those unique animations they do for the crit cut ins like for Byleth, Catherine, Anna, Yuri, Constance, Hapi, etc
The animation they play depends on what weapon they hold and what class they are. Most characters have a unique one for the class they’re meant to go to - eg ingrid is the only one with unique Pegasus knight animations, sylvain has unique cavalier animations, etc. They play the same animation they play when they’re selected most of the time.

He's at 7 HP, what did you expect
Can’t stop loving Yuri’s jp voice. It’s just... perfect🥰
Here is something to believe in!
Leonie's Japanese voice is so COOL! I love how tough and gritty she sounds.
and then if you do her S support, once Byleth shows her the glitch she starts stuttering and her voice goes extremely high pitch. Is cute
It's interesting how many of them change the way they speak during low HP
Seeing Edelgard switch to desu/masu is kind of funny
Been a while since I was last here, I gusse we are going full Japanese this time.

@@slurplie Well, it at least becomes bearable in post time skip
Japanese Bernie be like "iiiiieeeeeiiieieieiiiii"
Sou Hiyori it’s definitely a lot... less in the timeskip
That classic Hime Laugh from Constance!
Here's some Japanese to believe in.
Those Black Eagle classes. The memes have gotten out of control
War master Linhardt is somewhat terrifying
Did they straight up just.....switch voice actors for Ignatz after the time skip??
No its the same voice actor just in different pitches
Pre-timeskip: squeaky and childlike matching his appearance
Post-timeskip: his actual voice
No English voice actors didn't really change voices before and after time skip. This is why you need to play the japanese version in japanese text.
@@youtubedeletedmyaccountlma2263 I mean they were all either 17 or older so their voices not changing much isn’t surprising.
Wow, thanks for doing this! Since the Japanese RUclipsrs won’t do it lol
I love Leonie's battle cry. It's fierce and adorable at the same time
Dedue ;w; That man still has all my love. His Japanese voice is great.
I was totally unprepared for how different Ingrid's Japanese voice sounds compared to her English voice, but I think it still fits. Also dat scream from Mercie. That's a healer who can bring the pain. Blue Lions all the way!
But for some of the others, I think I prefer Alois' English voice more. Manuela still sounds gorgeous, though. Dunno how to feel about Balthus though... he doesn't sound as rough-and-tumble as he should.
Edit: Never mind, his timeskip has that rough-and-tumble tone.
I love the faces of disgust that they all show, it’s great

i see none is talking abt jeritza's voice in japanese...i find it shocking ;--;"
best voice in the game
I want to know what's happening on that Black Eagles run.
idk what gas that dudes on
He hates the eagles so apparently he gave them the worst classes(focusing on their weaknesses) besides edelgard

-a random person who I swear is not a bird in disguise. Pay no mind to the odd back shape.
It is a boy that is voicing Ignatz, its the same as his timeskip voice, so its likely their to match his childlike appearance.
At least he sounds fine post timeskip

Can you be more specific? Since I heard that is Yumiri Hanamori who voiced her
Can you make a video of a unit quote after they kills an enemy? before and after timeskip.
good god pre-timeskip ignatz and ashe sound so young
