Is anyone else afraid that Ubisoft might screw-up the voices like Working Design?

Yeah, I really don't think there is any voice acting. In fact, that's what GameSpot preview stated.

I don't think there will be voice acting. I've never read anything about it in previews.

None so far in the import, but all I've done is collected Lucia into the party. But you'd expect the scene of meeting her to have voice if anything will, and it doesn't.

Oh you have the game, Sweet! That's better then reading it from reviews.

That girl isn't a voice actress for Lucia. She's some Japanese celebrity who'll visit you as a courier dressed in Lucia's clothing if you win some contest that they're having over there. The main site has a translation of that portion of Marvelous' site.

You should probably think about winning before you start packing. :wink:

For the recods, I'm very fond of Working Design's voice acting, at least for TSS, EB and EBC. Ghaleon himself was worth it - in fact, I hope they do it again if a next version of Lunar is released on a more powerful system.

Eh . . . I like most of Working Design's VA. However, even though Ghaleon was really good in EBC, I thought he was really off at times in SSSC. I dunno, though. Maybe that's just me. The in-battle stuff was usually really good. My only other complaints are the flatness of the "Luna jumping aboard the boat" scene and the fact that Hiro's voice just sounded strange and overly forced at times. Aside from that, though, I would agree that they did at the very least a satisfactory job with the VA.

You guys must be really big fans because even Working Design admits that their translations suck.

From their website:

http://www.workingdesigns.com/contact_nav.htm

Hate Mail - hatemail@workingdesigns.com

You don't like our "Americanized" translations? You thought that the jokes in Albert Odyssey went way overboard? You were annoyed by the Clinton joke in Lunar: Eternal Blue? You dislike the dubbing of the voices in Magic Knight Rayearth? Or, do you just have a long list of mean and awful things to say about our company and/or games? Well, we really want to hear it all! Just send us an e-mail by clicking on the hate mail link above. And remember, all we are saying is give peace a chance.

Er, that IS their "hate mail" link. Of course it's giving examples of things people might want to -Borgan- about. If they'd said "Want to tell us how wonderful we are? Loved the Wheaties joke in Lunar 1? Think John Truitt is the best voice actor ever? Then let us know at..." you'd be complaining about their ego, no? What that text is about is that not everyone has the same opinion about everything. I don't care for Jenny Stigile's style in the Lunars much myself, but a lot of people do.

Although WD did say that the Clinton joke was so gone from EBC in some letter response.

It's verbal irony. You know what sarcasm is, right? This is similar to that. They're being self-deprecating as a joke, but also in order to encourage people to speak freely about any complaints they have. It's hardly saying "our translations suck".

Let me know if you didn't understand any of that. KF

Oh, you were talking about Working Design. I thought that you meant that someone previously replied in such way and I missed it.

I agree with what you’re saying, but you have to realize that if a company is presenting something like this, it’s because there’s some truth in it.
