No they don't.
And like I said, the devs don't decide anything about promos.
The game was built for the JP VAs. That's why they hired such huge names in Japan and only hired half assed people in CN and EN.

>>712850897
Furiner my everything

Paimon is just an all around shit character no matter the language.
I skim her lines to get a gist of what she's saying then mash through her voice as fast as possible. Often all she says is pointing out the very obvious, repeating back what's been repeated back already, insulting good fun characters, or going on about food/treasure.

>>712850762
You do know that when you open that link the video that plays automatically on the channel is in JP right?
And for arguments sake, if EN was what the devs intended the game for, why would they pay so much for top shelf JP voice actors and next to nothing for no name EN voice actors?

>>712849961

Would be better wouldn't it. I hate Aether too.

I was planning to skip Skirk because I don't need her and she looks stupid but they're pushing her so hard I'm starting to crack. They'll make her meta as shit somehow won't they? They'll cater all future content to her won't they

When I used to play Genshin I played in Chinese because it's the original language and it's the only version where Venti isn't obnoxious.
Chinese is an ugly language though. Not as bad as Polish albeit.

>>712850671
every single stream/video of a gacha "content """creator""" that i have watched was with jp dub. and i don't watch jap people.
this applies to all mihoyo games.

>>712851772
since I'm at exactly 0 pity because I single rolled for escoffier I might throw 30 or 40 rolls as skirk and if I don't get lucky then I'll skip

Even if you got Escofier already, Skrik isn't the only one she can buff to high heavens.

>>712851772
>They'll make her meta as shit somehow won't they? They'll cater all future content to her won't they
Nothing a normal team can't do. At most they'll pull another arena situation where pretty much the only way to get the event namecard is to have THE meta team. Genshin has never been hard, and the rewards for having the meta team is likem 30k mora at most. Chill out.

I agree, I love her voice.

They're so cute and funny as well as breedable

>>712851642
you dont speak japanese. you're a monkey who's imagining a world class performance in JP because you are actually just stupid.

>>712853547
Anon, stop shitposting. Furina's VA owns her own VA company and has decades of experience. She's among the best out there no matter how much you masturbate to your precious Japanese seiyu folded over 1000 times. You just don't know shit about voice acting.

>>712854003
>I could be listening to a grieving mexican man talking about his dying wife and I'd be laughing because that language is just funny
See this is a terrible argument because the person you are listening to would be crying and have a cracking in the voice.
"You don't understand the language so you can't tell if a dub is good or not" is just flat out wrong.

>>712854003
>if I can't understand what they're saying I can't really get too much emotion out of it
That is called autism. Glad I could help.

So its literally nothing and still bottom shelf bad.

>>712854286
>she's beloved in the shiteaters who couldn't recognize writing to save their life

Paimon is unironically the most work-ruining character ever written in the history of fiction
No work suffer as a much as Genshin does from the existence of a single character

>en dub shilling fag is still here
Its tiresome

>>712854243
While his argument about the Mexican is retarded, you're also a moron if you think you can tell whether a dub is good or bad when you don't even know the proper place the intonation ion a sentence should be or when the emphasis is on.
When you don't know a language you could hear the equivalent of a VA using the wrong tense of read/read and not notice. You could hear them read lines way too fast or too slow and not notice. You can hear them switch regional accents mid-sentence and you wouldn't know the difference.
But as long as it's a Japanese girl and got your penis to stand up you'd be 100% certain it's the best voice acting to ever exist.

>>712854003
I think you're just a psychopath anon

>>712854702
None of that shit you made up has anything to do with the actual acting of the role.
>>712854617

Any word from the previous one about her opinion on the matter?

>>712849249
she got much better, having her do that ears piercing high voice was a mistake

>>712854975
If you read the script wrong, the director will make you redo it.

Everything. She brings nothing of value. She repeats the same shit since the very beginning of the same, the same extremely safe and boring and overdone retarded jokes aimed at inbred redditors, she makes EVERY quest in the game insufferable by her very presence where she does nothing but state the obvious and aggravate the chinkbloat of the game by repeating the sentences of other characters
she's predictable, uninteresting, unfunny, screentime-hogging, atmosphere-ruining, I can't name a worse character from any media. This sack of shit has been dragging Genshin down since 1.0.

>>712855259
You play gacha though why would anyone listen to you

>>712849961

I feared the worst, but she just sounds like paimon in the beta

>>712855221
Show me a bad read making in into games in JP and explain why its a bad read.

>>712851147
furina is weirdly too good for a side character, fun character with a wide range of emotions and amazing VA
no idea how we went from someone like her to Natlan boring cast, everybody outside of Citlali sucks ass, they seem like summer party characters

>>712847536 (OP)
Holy shit! She changed? I remember her making a big deal about staying because it was the only gig she had that meant anything.

How is she? Is she having a meltdown?

>>712855392
Agreed, outside of Citlali and Kachina, everyone is straight up garbage.
Mavuika is the worst offender of them all. She sounded like she's recording while bored the entire time.

Okay, try 90% of ps2 jrpgs

>>712855492

Of course she's having a meltdown.
When ISN'T an american woman having a meltdown?

>>712855492
she had a meltdown over recasting of the people who refused to come back and supposedly quit
we still dont know if its true, she probably recorded lines weeks in advance
also she was pity farming, shes made at lest 150k$ a year according by SAG rates

>>712855615
So you have no examples.
I thought so.

Not a subhuman who cares about EN dubs. Release the skip button and I'll reinstall your shitty slot machine.

Mualani

>>712850897
Furina is not a good example lmao. Her va knows how to voice a character, but genshin voice direction is gay and retarded; furina here, for example, have SoCal way of talking rather than something serene like her counterpart. She got the reason to do that back then, but after fontaine act 5 this style of speaking is wildly unnecessary.

>>712855524
citlali is the only one who isnt "summer party" themed, we literally get a fucking DJ/mechanic and a chick on a surfing board
yeah i liked kachina too, just a brave kid, a good start straight into disappointment

mavuika bigger problem is her writing, shes a mary sue, when before we got an alcoholic depressed bard, a guy who is dying and fucks up his retirement, a psychopath afraid of dying, someone with self worth problems and furina who is just an all around emotional mess and a fraud
they were all very flawed and weak in a lot of ways, you could see why they failed

but here comes the badass mavuika with her fucking bike, stronger than anybody making no mistakes, and her quests is just some voice lines from people she knew centuries ago who are long dead ...

All gacha niggers must hang

>>712853348
Cocky little bastards... they need correction... immediately!

>>712856001
Good voice example is mizuki and lots of people admitted pulling for her purely because of her voice. She's also voiced miquella before

>>712849961
just as bad, tired of baby voices from obese 36 year old women

>>712856376
Is this a rape joke?

>>712849249
Corina eventually did a good job after pivoting from trying to be cutsey to just being a greedy little shit eating gremlin but the bitch is utterly certifiable and torpedo'd the best job she'll ever have out of sheer retardation.

That's not retardation, that's how women function.

>>712855524
Have to defend Xilonen, not because of seggs but for some reason while her character quest was whatever later on she got progressively cooler. Also reliable meta support helps.

>Beloved

One of the worst things about Genshin is that you are permanently stuck with a flying baby who acts as your voice for the entire game. I would no mind Paimon, if she did not stole the whole protagonist of the main character, which is voiceless mannequin.

You can't even use the "self-insert" excuse for Genshin's MC because he is clearly his own character with a personality, motifs and backstory. However, the game refuses to give him voice lines, so you have to spend your whole journey as a mute observer while Paimon, which has the mental capacity of a 4 years old, talks to everyone for you.

OH NO NO NONONO
dubsissies in shambles

>>712857462
I think she's either istaroth and the goddess of time gets power the longer she lives, and using her power spends that time. she spent her power to jump traveler 500 years into the future which is why she's a retarded baby now
or paimon is an acronym like the boss Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network which could have an acronym name of ASIMON

>>712857462
She is probably related to Time because of that island, the Nameless Island, near the starting beach, which is all about the god of time.

Anyway, that's another issue I have with Genshin. It's been five years, and the game has barely tried to develop Paimon backstory at all.

>>712858146
I feel bad for the EN VAs that actually want to do their work
(They since deleted the post)

>>712858381
she gotta be one of the 4, since its unlikely phanes created a fifth shade so long after the other 4, and we already met space in the intro, and death in the game, so only 2 spots left
its just weird to me, its like they written this at the start, and they refused to fallow through, even with the shades of death making an appearance she dosnt comment of one of their own being there?

like they want to eat their cake and have it too, move the plot at snail pace but also not tie things together at all
like they still havent introduced alice, its so weird

>>712859085
I don't feel bad for them at all.
They all act like entitled cunts when their profession is openly mocked in the western world.

We can all agree Kazuha should've been a skin for Aether.

It's almost like /vmg/ was created for a reason

>>712859014
>Anyway, that's another issue I have with Genshin. It's been five years, and the game has barely tried to develop Paimon backstory at all.
yeah, it sucks ass
its weird how casually the shades are mentioned, also the way phanes is refered to heavenly principles is so bizzare, since it makes it seems like its a set of rules not a person, the only time hes directly mentioned is after natlan quest by neuvillette "haha by the way i know the creator of tayvat lol", you what? nobody makes a mention on it, really?

but guess 5 more years they plot will move in some direction

>>712859942
What the fuck does nintendo have to do with a dub VA bitch from Genshin?

>>712851398

>>712860418
Remember people complained about barbara new voice thinking that her va is replaced by other person only to found out that she still have the same va but with different range of speaking because voice director think that it was a good idea to do that in like a year after barbara release

>>712849961
literally Mem

>>712859732
Aether and Lumine should have voice lines and a skin for each region. This is one thing ZZZ got right.

>>712861357
Genshin is a test water for which thing hey should implement/avoid in their other franchise like hsr and zzz

>>712849961
Not bad at all. It's never going to be as good as the JP version because they are masters at doing high pitched voices, but it's alright

What did you want to talk about Anon? Surely you had an engaging topic and didn't think people were just magically holding back their own discussion topics since this thread is about VAs.

>>712861927

>It's never going to be as good as the JP version
Which is why there's no point ever in watching dubs.

>>712862534
i havn't played zzz in half a year but from what i understand they scrapped the TV mode that was like 70% of the gameplay because everyone hated it and retooled the game as a result.

i assume they proceeded to do a ton of additional reworking.

>>712862534
They genuinely don't know what to do with the game's plot after the TV mode was scrapped and your Bangboo became useless since now your chosen sibling can just enter the Hollows whenever they like despite previously being Super-Hollow-Aids patients, they got a magic upgrade that cures them and makes them turbo-resistant to the effects of Hollows.

>>712862562
I'm annoyed nobody has ever referred to her in the game as a flying baby, could lead to a funny reaction from her.

>>712847536 (OP)
What are you talking about? She still sounds like Aoi Koga.

>>712862446
>Star rail is where Genshin's future improvements are tested.
I hope not because I feel like star rail has been a complete disaster since 3.0. Maybe even before then, but the fact that you can't even do endgame content with 4-stars is stupid and making a whole new path with no F2P options is greedy.

>>712862295
I had no expectations for Skirk's character, but I was still disappointed by the trailers.

>>712862716
Otto did and she said she is not baby, then started the nickname right there and since then Otto is Oto

>>712862851
Same, endgame is dogshit so I advice you to ignore it for your own mental health. No reason to waste huge amounts of time just for two or three extra rolls each month nor to fall for FOMO. I was trying to clear PF for my sister who had Anaxa and The Herta (Yes, THE Herta), the lastest Erudition characters and can't even get full clears.

>>712851147

>>712862716
>I'm annoyed nobody has ever referred to her in the game as a flying baby, could lead to a funny reaction from her.
I vaguely recall there being a line from Paimon where she rants about being called all sorts of things during the adventure, one of them being "flying baby".

I think Paimon is cute

>>712847536 (OP)
Chie

Are events with plot development still locked to being time limited without the option to replay them purely for the story?

>>712863750
old one yeah, but I don't think they've done that for a long time

>>712863608
the character *should* have been, the 1.0 voice acting was alright but at some point i'm not sure when she became a screeching harpy until sometime last year when the voice mellowed out a little.

one of the reason why people prefer other versions.

>>712863750
just a few 1.X events fucked up like that, they quickly realized their mistake and sometime during fontaine the devs talked about making events available again but just the more polished ones.

with 5.7 adding the ability to only have the stuff you need installed and downloading quests as-needed it lays the ground work to add the old events back in since the whole reason for them getting removed was to keep file size down for phones.

>>712863608
I think you are cute

>>712849182
English website

>>712864048
Genshin being available for phones was a mistake.
