En dubs, oml lmao… pathway opens for the tourists

so the rumors were right after all: manjuu is delaying the global release of AP because of the EN dub.

No that’s probably not it

They just delayed global cus they’re not ready (especially in the marketing and management department). If it was just voices all they need to do is hire somebody a while ago and it’d have been done, but clearly (from AL) Manjuu’s style is to release in global later

If they are still hiring someone to manage the EN dub how would they just “need to do is hire somebody a while ago”?

I think the fact that OP made this post implies that this was a job position that they’d recently made, and I’m saying that they could’ve opened the job position months (or even years) ago if they weren’t already planning to delay global from the start (because they believed they weren’t ready to do it all at the same time)

Awesome! I really hope they do a good job with this. I know people will complain about the game attracting a bad crowd but I’m just happy I’ll be able to connect with the characters at a deeper level. this really was the my biggest hang up for this game, but now I can easily see this being one of my mains. Although I do hope we can choose the voice settings for characters. In the event that another dub fits a character better.

How much deeper do you need? It’s not like american VAs are themselves being guided by the writers themselves. If anything, the localizers keep changing everything, direction and all, with the stereotypical choice of VAs not helping.

>How much deeper do you need?

I think they mean that they like to know what the characters are actually saying, y’know like what they’re actually talking about instead of just hearing nice sounding words. This wouldn’t be a problem if any of these fucking studios knew what closed captions are when it comes to combat/exploration lines.

> It’s not like american VAs are themselves being guided by the writers themselves. 

Unless the writers are flying out of china, neither are the JP or KR ones.

> If anything, the localizers keep changing everything, direction and all, with the stereotypical choice of VAs not helping.

This only happens when you have bad a voice director who doesn’t understand the project. The role above is the job that could make or break the voice acting, because with a good supervisor you can have good direction, little drama, and good voices but with a bad one you can have none.

When it comes to anime I prefer JP VA anyways, but I don’t like people automatically thinking that “all EN VA bad” when there are some good dubs, and it’s more like it just common for it to bad *because* it’s very common for it to be badly managed.

jp tends to follow the original cn text a lot more closely than en does. en often takes liberties to the point that they change the tone, or even portray characters saying things they never actually said in cn

based on prior experiences, im certainly not holding out any hope that manjuuus going to nail the voice director bit

It would be like having a friend that speaks a different language. I would never be able to understand and connect with them to the degree I could with a friend who speaks the same language. The language barrier would only let us get so close.

There’s subtitles below everything your friend says tho… lol

Connection goes beyond just knowing what they say.

Yeah, how they say it is important too! Which is why EN VA is usually pretty bad at conveying the characters intent.

Not from my experience. I haven’t heard a bad dub in almost a decade.

Try watching any show that is inherently “moé” and say that again.

9/11 for this sub to know EN dub is coming lmfao

Worse than the holly

Im just happy knowing we are actually getting a global server meanwhile ppl are going insane for something they wont use (I wont either but idc tbh)

This is the most likely reason for them delaying this game in global and if you don’t mind it, then good for you.

I’m gonna grab the copcorn, comments will bring the salt

While I have no interest in listening to an EN dub as JP is desirable for me this does look like news to get ones hopes up concerning a global server at some point in the near future.

Why throw money out of the window for trash EN dub

Yessssss English dub

If they are just hiring no shot they will be in time as JP or CN

Oh boy here comes the problematic twitter warior American VA

Also, stuff like “EN VA of [character] streams Azur Promilia”, which often ends up in them offering judgemental opinions on a game they don’t genuinely care about. Or where they end up promoting unsolicited headcanons on characters that an army of simps will try to push as canon just because a VA that had nothing to do with the writing process, said it.

Not all ENVAs are like that; JP, CN, KR, and any other language fans sometimes do it, but most either follow the fandom’s jokey tone and have their own tastes, but they don’t interfere with the plot of the work, even if they take it to the extreme. At least the ENVAs I follow aren’t like that, and they’re fans of the character they portray plus the official game content.

Ok. I am out. NOT because of EN dub. But because EN dub will bring it’s FUCKING EN LOCALIZED SUBTITLES. I wanted proper translation not this fanfic EN changed context to fit wider mases and Ingrish characters persona. FFS I am so mad right now. Its not a problem that tourists will flood the subredit. Its a problem that now character will say “Onee-chan” and sub will display “Abby”.
Merry Christmas? Happy Holidays!
SUBTITLES WILL FIT THE FUCKING ENGLISH INTERPRETATION OF CHARACTER NOT AN ORYGINAL ONE.
Worst news of the day.

I fucking hate dubtitles it’s unreal
The normal subtitles was probably already going to suck but dubtitles is just a whole ‘nother level of dogshit

Absolutely agree. Its because they are made by people who hate our hobby. Also I watch anime and play anime games to feel JP/Asia style culture NOT TO GET A FUCKING EN INTERPRETATION OF IT.

This mistake is being avoided lately, but it depends on the agency they hire and whether the person in charge at the studio accepts it. One step towards preventing it from happening too often is having an internal staff member handle the dubbing, which is what they’re doing. So, the collective paranoia about it is being exaggerated. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, because in several games where I used EN VA, they do a good job and the subtitles are correct.

oh fuck me

en dub, really? cant wait for dialogue to be altered for no clear reason, leading to a jarring mismatch between what characters are saying vs subs if youre using say cn/jp vo with en subs. newer games like nte are already suffering from that as is. and thats on top of the presence of en dub attracting the usual crowd

i understand why but i really dont like this choice. wouldve much preferred they not make such a needless expense

That depends on the dubbing agency and the inclusion department, which is why they’re looking for someone to manage that. It doesn’t happen with all games, but it’s noticeable that mistakes are made in the rush, and you report them to fix them in the next patch.

It’s so over.

It’s honestly better for the game to have no Global server than to have it with come with EN dub.

LMFAOOOO

lowkey real

Really focusing on EN dubs rather than aiming for a simultaneous release smh.

I hope they use Union VAs, it gonna be fun

Arrogant entitled VAs

Ya’ll in here acting like Azur Lane didn’t have massive subtitle differences without an EN dub. Frankly happy to see it getting a dub.

The worst part about this is a potential problem with subtitles. Instead of proper translation we could get a dubtitles that were made to fit whenever EN voice director wanted instead of what the devs intended.

in fairness that kind of shit can happen even without en dub. just look at blue archive and the many troubles that game has with localization lol

fans had to riot every time to get nexon to change

though the en translation differing so much from the jp/kr text and vo made a strong case for itself. if the game has an en vo that its instead referencing, then im not so sure how inclined they are to change that when its vastly different

On the one hand this basically confirms global release which is good, on the other hand get ready for all the “yikes”, “sus”-es and other such cancer that infests the English localization of gacha games.
And it’s never just the voiceover you can choose to ignore, it’s the script changes that with that voiceover to reflect it.
Some games like WuWa do a pretty decent job overall and the JP voiceover tends to match the English subtitles, at least in their gist.
But then you have the absolute disaster that is the NTE localization you have moments where the JP and EN script diverge massively not just in choice of words but also in meaning. And I don’t think Manjuu have Kuro’s budget or oversight to make WuWa level script coordination, especially with the disaster that is the AL story difference across servers as their history.

its really annoying how the dialogue often differs so much between the jp vo and en vo/subs in nte. i also switched to cn to doublecheck, and can confirm jp follows cn a lot more closely than en does

in the grand scheme of things, a lot of what they changed is small stuff. but its only small stuff up until its something major, and by then the damage is already done. i dont get why they make so many of these changes. 9 times out of 10, theres no cultural-specific nuance thats being lost in translation, theyre just changing shit like “ill put my faith in you all” to “i lost heart. that isnt like me”

like ?????

its incredibly jarring and annoying. actual fansubbers back in the day did a better job

With this job, it would be a basic stepping stone for the studio team in charge of that.

AP english dub will be the most divisive topic in the community

You either hate it with a passion or love it to death

I don’t want to even imagine what Abby and Nono would sound like. Probably like English Frieren at best.

Hope it’s not gonna be dubtitles

Oh shit. This just got a whole lot more cringe really fast. Shit-tier voice acting and tourists, it’s actually over.


Second worst mistake after the FMC. I could stomach her, but this will bring the most insufferable assholes and you just know that it will happen. These people literally cannot stomach CN and JP.

If they absolutely must, then the best we can hope is that they go for British VAs like Wuthering Waves did. Far away from
SAG AFTRA shenanigans and all the other controversies the American VA scene is oddly prone to.

Im stupid but what does this mean?

Like global only get en dub or what

No we still get other dubs, but global release will get delayed because they are just starting to hire EN VA right now

\-censored camera angles (character disappears way too fast when looked from below)

\-cardboard self-insert fem mc

\-“wider audience” speak in the promo interview

\-censored designs such as abby and that maid

\-granny panties for most of the characters

and now a shitty EN dub, how can they dig themselves even deeper?

As someone who usually play with jpn and ch dub, i don’t care. But this means the global release is definitely happening a lot later than japan/china.Dubs take a lot of time and if they’re hiring a supervisor now it will only take more time to do the dub… Unless they release the global version with only ch and jpn dubs. Still hope global will release around 1 year after japan/china, I’ll play with the japanese version in the meantime

Why all the whining? In gacha games, you can usually change the voice acting. No one is forcing you to listen to the English dub /:

Because this means we will get the totally inaccurate dubtitles like NTE

Even so, I still don’t understand the point of whining. Without the English translation, it would be possible to play the Japanese version and others. So what’s the point of panicking? Or could there be another “good” dub? It all seems strange

I only see panic about the English dub, but oh well, because of the controversy from a very vocal group in the United States that suffers from a bias towards GRINGOCENTRISMO, making the innocent pay for the guilty. I follow several decent EN VA creators who respect their work and the context of the game without demanding changes, but MANJU laying the groundwork for a department in charge of this is a step towards avoiding the problems that so bother the Asian game fandom in Europe and America. For now, I’m giving the English dub and localization the benefit of the doubt; I’ll judge when the product is released.
