I've always wanted to get serious with this game, but my scene doesn't care about it so I've never gotten good. Hopefully it picks up some popularity in the future. (I need to redeem myself after getting bodied in front of Mike Z)

After hearing her as Edea in Bravely Default, I'm totally on board with this!

I'm planning on using Venom as a sub in Xrd, and I have a question. Since I don't see the character used often, I'm never sure about his damage output. Has it been increased from +R? I get kind of sad when I frame trap with c.S and only pull like 120.

Therien lies the problem though. People have been listening to Nakata for over 10 years, anyone would be biased at this point. I think it's important to look at the dub as a separate entity entirely. Sure choose what you like, that's what dual audio is for, but discrediting the effort the actors put in despite being under subpar directors isn't fair IMO. Go listen to games like Extermination and Dynasty Warriors 3, those are examples of truly shit voiceover. This is more of a moral thing for me, and I know I'm in the minority since I do VO work myself. But the VO actors are just people doing their jobs, not a bunch of devils out to sabotage your husbando/waifu.

I'm not entirely on board with all the Sol hate. As an actor, I can tell when someone is hamming it up on purpose, and I think that was what Keith Silverstein was trying to do. No, it's not GOOD acting, by I think it's on the right track given Sol's corny anime protagonist schtick. Not to say I wouldn't have preferred a better performance, I just think people are overreacting a bit. Now Venom on the other hand. Ohhh boy, that's a doozy.

Attention, fellow Canadians. Some retailers are not stocking Xrd on release. Rev up those amazon orders! Aksys fucks Canada over yet again!

I don't mind the absence of weeb-talk. Esxcept for him muttering "WASABI." on air throw.

What, you don't like Original Xbox Potemkin???

From the looks of of it, all she has is somewhat decent normals and damage. Her pressure is laughably basic and her defensive options are very flawed. She's essentially just shitty Ragna.

I'd actually agree that Cabanos being brought on isn't outside the realm of possibility. A few of the VO artists in Xrd are actually somewhat new, and some of them not only worked together through online amateur work, but "graduated" into the professional world around the same time. Lucien Dodge and Kaiji Tang are examples of this. Seeing as how Cabanos moved up around the same time, I would be surprised, especially with the amount of exposure she has been getting over the last few years.

Does anyone know who the hell is voicing Venom? I feel ashamed that I'm unable to tell by ear, but he literally has a different voice every time I hear him due to awful direction. He sounds like Grant George when he says "Let's break.", but every other time he sounds like some weird Spike Spencer/Lucien Dodge hybrid. This is bothering me so much. Pls halp.

You know May is around 20 years old in Xrd, right? I think it fits.

Axl tho.

I still don't understand why people didn't drop BB when 1.0 Kokonoe was a thing. Sure, Nu is dumb. But dropping the game (In which you play a solid fucking character) entirely is an absolute joke. I don't understand people sometimes.

Liam O'brien will usher forth a new wave of Axl players. Shit, I would play him for his voice alone.

I think the quality of acting for certain characters sounds more real than most of what you could find in BB and P4A. Some of it is ultra corny, but hey, anime. I'd say as far as variety and quality goes, it might be the best Arcsys dub yet. The ratio of bad to good is very lopsided.

Yeah, in terms of actually acting quality, this is one of Arcsys' better offerings as far as the games go. A few characters are notably corny like Rammy, Ky, and Venom, but I was blown away by how good some of them are (Axl and Slayer, holy fuck.) They brought on a high profile cast for this game, and as a voice actor myself, I'm going crazy.

So Axl and Slayer sound goddamn fantastic. Like, wow.

Tara Platt as Millia. I can deal.

I just remembered him as Salve Maker Quada in Bravely Default. That's a fantastic choice!

Troy Baker voiced him in overture, so if it isn't him, it will likely be Matthew Mercer. They did the same thing when Baker had to step down as the voice of Kanji in P4.

I guess if Liam O'Brien wasn't available, Not-Liam O'Brien was an apt substitute.

We need to get people who can recognize the VA's by ear. I'd do it myself, but I don't have access to the demo. Cmooooon, Millia. Be Ali Hillis plz.

With the advancements made in not-shit-actor technology, you can rest assured that Xrd will have better VO than this, haha!

I'd say not to sleep on her just yet. She's been nerfed considerably, but she's still an incredibly versatile character with all of her tools still intact. It will definitely take a lot of lab time before we really see where she stands, but for now she looks solid. Just watch Matoi, he's still tagging and bagging with her. Tldr: I'd rather fight her over CP2 potato Ragna.
