When I think of bad vo i always think of Mariah from the old Redguard game
"We can't use this audio jesus fucking christ."
"Why not."
"You know why.."
"It's the actual players though."
"Exactly, PLAYERS, not ACTORS."
StepI was about to be contrarian and post a video of Ys III on PC-Engine but nah
There we are, 3 pages in I was about to post it myself. Nothing will top Arc Rise Fantasia.
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
oh for sure, I just posted cause they were talking about Shaq in Career mode.This is in the wrong thread. This is actually really good shit. This is Carl Weathers level comedy from Arrested Development.
It's bad direction more than anything, FIFA has a mode like this and none of the players sound anywhere near this bad.Aren't those real players? I don't think we can judge their voice performances in that case.
Now, if it was all professional voice actors doing their jobs badly, that would be another story...
There's one directed by Spike Lee. It's wild
I was not prepared for how bad this is. ohhhhhhhhh mannnnnnnnnnnnn

It had to do with Sony' stupid rulling that no game can be release with just a Japanese dub in the Ps2 era.It was actually family members of the CEO of the publisher. It seems like they were just a small studio so they were looking to cut down on localization costs.
Don't worry, they're real NBA players, not some unkown VA trying to make a living out of this.Hmm. I feel bad more than anything. Not everyone can be a decent voice actor, and some people have an extremely hard time reading aloud, regardless of their overall reading ability. I suppose they agreed to do it though...
Yeah, I know. Whether or not they're trying to make a living out of voice acting is not what makes me feel badDon't worry, they're real NBA players, not some unkown VA trying to make a living out of this.
Still not as bad as ffx. Considering the size/context of the game.

Mostly the FFX comments are from the dweebs who still cite the laughing scene as bad VA. Bad dubs mostly exist because of the voice director either not giving a shit or just being legit terrible at their job (and there are a lot of the latter). See: a lot of 90s anime, particularly from ADV.Oh come on. FFX is fine- with professional VAs- and is not even in the same galaxy as shit like 'family members of the CEO' Chaos Wars or professional athletes that did a single take for sports games.
There's always someone bringing up games like FFX, Metal Gear Solid 2, or hell, even Horizon: Zero Dawn in these threads. I'm convinced it's just to dunk on popular games, but maybe they are vocal experts that consider that kind of work legitimately terrible?
If that's the case, this must be a very difficult medium to deal with on a regular basis.

TBH, I always forget DiMaggio is Wakka (and Kimahri) because most of the time he disappears into a character. You have rather obvious stuff that you can tell its him between Bender, Jake the Dog and the like, but he's got more range than a lot of people would expect. But, again, it goes down to the directing being good.Exactly.
FFX's voice direction was done by Jack Fletcher, who has a long, successful career in the business (even VA directing for Hayao Miyazaki dubs). FFX's was ambitious because it was done on a scale that hadn't been attempted yet in the console JRPG realm. The amount of voice work is staggering- and although his main cast varies in overall effectiveness, I consider none of it to be anything worse than simply average (with some, like DiMaggio's Wakka, McKenzie's Auron, and Julia Fletcher's Yunalesca, being exceptionally fantastic).
6 pages in and no mention of that scene in Final Fantasy X? Shame
