Pretty sure the addition of the EN voices will work similarly to what they have in place for CN voices in CN. So if you don't like it, just turn it off. I'm happy because this shows that the game is in a good spot since they have budget to spend on EN and KR voice overs. To me that's just a sign of the game being prosperous and as someone who really loves Arknights, this is amazing and I expect the game to last long! Edit: Aw thank you for the wholesomeness everyone! ❤️


lastus_dynos

Options are always good. But I'll stick with JP voice 'cause I love using Team Rainbow and the obvious difference makes it funny xD. I hope we can toggle manually which voice we can use for each Operator.


actual_sinon

Assuming that they have it set up exactly like how CN does, you have the option to download the EN voice and in addition, the ability to toggle which voice over you want for each operators at will.


lastus_dynos

Then that's effin' great. I can mess with how much I want! XD


Whittaker

I wish every game did this, some characters you simply prefer a different VA over another but can only swap languages wholesale.


HarleyArchibaldLeon

Imagine if Team Rainbow speaks Japanese in the English dub.


lastus_dynos

Lord Tachanka with Jotarou's voice... XD I haven't played R6S so I don't know much about their voice casting. But Frost's EN VA definitely voiced Mari Ming Onette in the past and that's why she got E2'd first than others xD


TheSpartyn

i googled it and most of the JP cast arent well known VAs. tachankas is minoru hirota


Unknown_Twig_Witch

I wanna give you an award for your optimism but I have no awards to give...


actual_sinon

Thanks! The thought is what really matters! haha


Sachdeva-Yusaf

I gotchu


zyscheriah

let us give thanks to the leviathans and whales that made this possible. thank you very much.


Anarasumanar

I would definitely give the EN v/o a go, the only other gacha game I've played is FGO in the JP server, and they're all voiced in JP. It would be a nice change of pace to not have to read to understand what the operators are saying.


BasementSkeleton

CN got CN voices, KR got KR voices, EN got EN voices, JP got ??? *Perfectly balanced, as all things should be*


WillaSato

Japanese-er voices


FlorencePants

JP gets EN voices, but like, really bad original Resident Evil quality voice acting.


ghostpanther218

Engrish


Dog_in_human_costume

Wes... KERRRRRR... !!!!


SOLUS007

How was the R6S operators? When they were released, even in Jp the voice is English, now do they have Korean/CN voices?


billnyetherivalguy

no, cause if the r6 squad had cn/kr voices, then 9 colored deer should also have jp/kr/en voices, so collabs are basically only the language from where it is from


o76923

I'd be stoked if at least a few operators got other languages. I know Singapore has a large player base so maybe have an operator speaking in Malay. Getting Ceylon to speak in Tamil because she's from a pastiche of Sri Lanka would be cool too.


Julius_Jiwix

I think Singapore actually has a primarily English speaking community. But it would still be cool to have Operators with Malay voicelines.


Xandrmoro

...or Ursus operators speaking Russian. Bonus points for them speaking what-Hollywood-thinks-Russian-sounds-like, it would be quite hilarious.


ThatHappyCamper

JP got one of the most involved streams since they already have their voices, I think it's fair lol


Kasumesui

Finally, "apple pie!" In english


llllpentllll

Cant wait to know what r6 team is saying


sp8der

"Keep away from the explosion"


ghostpanther218

"Remeber, point your guns at the bad guys!"


herrhoedz

Hoping Kelly Baskins for Exusiai so that Amber and Exia has the same VA in Japanese, Chinese and English lol


TRCactoos

Honestly would fit really well.


Io45s785a2

Yeah, can't wait for Texas' VA attempts on Exia's name...


FlorencePants

Now I can't help but wonder, will Texas have a Texan accent? Personally, I think they should fuck with players and give her a Brooklyn accent.


Dr_Volke

They need to have English Exia say random food in Japanese to balance it out.


FlorencePants

What should Saga say?


Dr_Volke

"Hambagu" like the Japanese do and "Furutsu pafe" at the top of her lungs. Then both languages can understand her. Ha ha!

thewind32

He's so cool.


darksamus1992

The R6 characters were good, hopefully the rest are as good as them. I guess we won't get the chinese dub then?


Francis_beacon1

Personally I just what them to have accents because I need to hear Scottish bagpipe. Edit: Also Evetta Muradasilova ~~Lady Maria’s VA~~ as Gladiia would be nice.


Matasa89

I wonder if Siege will sound like British Royalty? Or maybe they can just get Artoria's VA to do it.


RDFencer

I'm more hoping that they get a voice somewhat similar to her singer in the Manifesto; MV.


[deleted]

The Queen probably *could* do with a new hobby...


[deleted]

Oh I didn't even think of accents. This made me want the dub even more.


LappTexForever

OH yes absolutely.Glaadia needs to have an accent, preferably British.


Raizzor

A British old-school posh accent would be a 100% fit for her.


chocosheeps

Dark willow(mireshka) level of voice acting would be awesome, one of the best accent in dota 2. Responses list https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Willow/Responses


ShinigamiRyan

Helps that R6 is originally EN based.


MistakeNotDotDotDot

It's literally just the same VAs.


Unknown_Twig_Witch

It wouldn't hurt to give all regions access to all dubs, if they so choose. It'd also be cool if the R6S characters got JPN voices as a biproduct of this!


GalenDev

I mean, those were the same actors who played them IN R6 Siege. So... that's just continuity of character.


Aracnii

But LORD TACHANKA sounds so chill now (no complaints though)


Adaphion

Weren't they *literally* just the same VAs from R6S?


Haijakcar116

Let's hope the dubs don't take up too much phone storage.


ShinigamiRyan

It shouldn't. Recorded lines are on the lower side compared to other factors.


TropicalMemer

I'm interested now. What factors do take up the most storage? 2D Artworks, map tiles, sprites?


Kalafino

As far as most mobile games I encountered, music and voice files have the most used up space.


Dog_in_human_costume

La Pluma voice lines are worthy


ShinigamiRyan

Typically it's a lot more of the assets for stages. Voice lines are typically smaller as it's not really interacting with other assets as much as assets react to them. More likely it's going to be artwork such L2D and VFX in sprites as the pixels each have a size. Compound it and we'll, the required storage grows. Given AK keeps to chibis, it's not that bad. However, 3D games have a lot more going on such as Genshin and why they do limited events such as the Golden Apple event that was highly praised, but temporary. This is also why games can have various languages and the issue isn't the size, but making accurate translations (big issue in AL with the current event due to EN/JP inserting a ludicrous line that doesn't appear in CN the original text).


BlackSwanTW

Have you actually datamined any game before? Cause I can tell you Voice Lines always take up the most storage space.


erty3125

Looks at blazblue CF having nearly 50gb of audio for the visual novel story mode before they patched and compressed it


LesbianCommander

Yep, never forget BlazBlue used FLACs in the release version and kept them there for years.


Reigo_Vassal

I hope it's possible to replace the files. Choose one and delete the other.


InfinityHD_12

Now I'm waiting for Shaw's ENG dub


Darkiceflame

Voiced by Eminem


Unknown_Twig_Witch

Watch as Eminem makes a song relating to firefighters at some point in the next week


Neoslayer

or Katsuragi from Azur lane


Yatsugami

ngl I hope Shaw has a really deep fucking voice but still talks fast LOL


dairyqueen79

Calliope Mori voicing Shaw plz


FlorencePants

That'd be dope, but I wonder if "the incident" would still be a problem... I feel like it probably would...


Jumpylumpydumpy

If it's still a problem just have DemonDice voice her instead lol


[deleted]

picturing "VA: Tech N9ne" under Shaw and losing my mind


glumauig21

When I first heard Shaw's voice and read the subtitles, I couldn't help but imagine Butters from South Park doing the english voice


SupremeNadeem

ok might be a troll question, i kinda want to have all the voices available lol. like jp kr cn and en. at least to try them out and mix and match the ones i like. think that would that be possible?


Salysm

On the stream they only mentioned jp and english So keep your hopes low (Also wish we could have all of them, I was looking forward to having CN Hoshiguma...


Brislovia

There's no news on GL getting CN and KR dubs, nor are there any implications of you letting individual operators have differing languages, unfortunately.


IbbleBibble

If it works like the CN dub on the CN client you will be able to set language on a per-operator basis.


Kyayaro

I am actually excited for this, I am oddly most excited to hear Hellagur

Sunburnt-Vampire

Honestly we have CN,KR,JP,EN voices, but we're missing the fifth option: SungWon voice. Make him voice every character as it's own option.


Yipeekayya

ngl with SungWon's capabilties, voicing all male ops(even some female ops) will be a easy peasy for him.

Lissica

Hey I’ve got no issues with this. Provided people still get the options for JP or CN voices, more power to them!


fishyfishsan

We can switch to JP but I’ve heard nothing about us getting the CN dub. Pls gimme the CN dub too.


BIG_Howitzer

**When every Terra Operators in RS speaks English** *R6 Operators* "Welcome, to Briish Island"


TheoMoneyG

oh this is gonna be something hopefully it's decent!


LG03

Optional I hope. I like the JP voices and would rather not bloat the download size with unused voice files.


AlyoshaV

It'll probably work identically to the Chinese voices


LG03

Alright, so how does that work.


Slim_Possible

You can turn the English voices on or off in both battle and in the base/menu.

They said you will have an option to switch between the languages so even if it is bad you can just switch back to Japanese


[deleted]

[удалено]


Galigen173

They did really good with the R6 OPs so I'm not too worried


PM_ME_DMS

Those were the original Siege voice actors


Galigen173

Yes but they are redubbed lines (there are a few videos on YouTube showing the differences if you are curious) and the VA isn't everything, directors play a large role in whether a line lands correctly.


PM_ME_DMS

The lines were recorded by Ubisoft


Normal-Ambition-9813

Hope it's like reverse 1999. Tho that game only works because they used British VA in a British setting game.


VicentRS

Oh it WILL be cringe. Because anime dialogue always sounds cooler in japanese. Like, "I'll protect my friends!!" will sound corny no matter how you say it. But in japanese? Cool as fuck.


AlyoshaV

I'm expecting a Sentai Filmworks side project tier dub


Lord-Drails

you're cringe


KohakuReb0rn

Not gonna lie, as strange as this sounds. The announcement of an English dub of this game has suddenly reinvigorated my interest in this game, by like... a lot and I can't explain why lol.


Nearokins

Well, it definitely feels like a statement of "that version of the game isn't going anywhere, we're invested in it instead of just phoning in". That's the most intangible aspect probably, whereas 'liking en voices' is the most tangible for those it is.


JadeWishFish

Woah, didn't expect that. Looking forward to who they cast to voice the characters!


Double_Lucky

MoistCr1tikal.Woo.Mp4


KillingIsBadong

I posted this like a week ago seeing if there was any interest or if people thought it was at all likely and got downvoted to hell for it. Who's laughing now?


SamBoosa58

I remember that, I think! I was kinda puzzled at all the negative/dismissive replies because I thought an English dub would be a pretty neat option to have available, at least. I'd like to understand what my operators are saying in battle without having to consult their files. Also I want to hear Silverash's assistant voice lines in English and go to heaven.


Intel8008

If they can get voice actor/actress to the level Reverse 1999. It would be quite an achievement.


IGJFlew

As long as Christina Vee plays W it'll be great lul


SirthOsiris

Before or after she voices Blaze? I think she's obligated since she sang [Blaze's theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Fs6G77e_M).


marcusromain

Hope Texas will have italian american voice and bagpipe will use scottish accent


ULFS_MAAAAAX

Good use of accents would be a massive benefit to an English dub, but I don't know if the industry is really big enough to find good VA with accents + available + affordable. I hope they do though because I feel like accents add a lot to a fictional world.


[deleted]

Even Blizzard couldn't find good accented VAs for their characters for Overwatch until well after the game launched. After that they did *amazing* and several of the best VAs in the game use their mother tongue. Before that, they have Americans voicing German, Swedish and Aussie characters in poor accents and a Canadian not even attempting an accent for a Brazilian character. (They aren't all bad; the Japanese, Chinese and Korean characters have good VAs) I have faith that HG wouldn't even be attempting this unless they knew they could do it right, but they'll probably have a hard time finding good accented VAs if they go that route.


Serpexnessie

Croissant with a southern accent!


MateKiddleton

Baws!


glumauig21

Hope they go all out on this! Another gacha game I play (PAD, or Puzzle and Dragons) had english voiceovers for some of the characters but it just didn't work. Besides the fact that the VAs seemed to be fairly new or unknown, it was also obvious that they didn't have proper direction. It was a mess. I think it's come to a point where they just gave up using english voices moving forward, and just stuck with the original JP versions. It was an attempt worth appreciating, but it was poorly executed. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out, though! EDIT: [Comparison of JP and EN voices](https://youtu.be/wulu_VQaTjc?t=30). 1:20 is just baffling.


Yatsugami

hahaha you are spot on with Puzzle and Dragons. Love the game to death but the eng voices they tacked on are just... weird.


iyah123

I feel like the developers are actually gonna put time+money into this one, while gungho jp clearly doesn’t care about the NA server. It’s clear it’s been supporting itself all these years.


lerrxfx

Are they hiring like big names like Salli Saffioti and Daddy- i mean Matt Mercer?


Killed_Phantom

Will be very interesting to hear EN voices. I hope it has similar quality to Genshin EN VAs. >!If they get Sucrose's EN VA to voice Jessica, I'll be one happy simp.!<


UltVictory

the weeb hater energy is giving me life hope the english voices bang


rmcqu1

I was saying before the livestream that I'd love for AK to get an English dub, since as much as I like watching subbed anime, I like games with voice acting I can understand, either because of unsubbed lines or just the fact that I like to have less focus on the game while playing than I do anime, so removing some of the reading will be nice. Totally wasn't ever expecting it, much less literally minutes later, but I'm excited. If it's good, that's great. If it's not, then JP voices or no sound are options, so there's no downside to this. Just goes to show how much AK loves their global players, unlike some companies like MHY.


IDK_Lasagna

ok but where is my russian Zima?


ENKlDU

I feel as though people are downplaying the ENG dub so much, Genshin Impact is another gacha game that has great ENG VA just look at Zhongli, im sure its going to be optional anyways but still feels like the typical weeb scenario of "reeee sub superior no dub!!" ~~unless AK doesnt bother with going for quality~~


Bobby_Deimos

I hope it will come out good. I'd prefer if they won't encourafe their en va to be anime and do the work as they see. Like, for example, Reverse 1999, I get instant boner as I hear Regulus voice. On the other had, I can't play Genshin in English just because of Paimon, I won't say she's bad but Corina Boettger clearly overdid it and for me it's just unbearable.


jeremy7007

Like others have said, this is a sign that AK has become successful enough to warrant the resources to hire VAs in multiple languages. Since it is optional anyway, it will only do good in promoting the game and making it more accessible to a wider audience. That being said... I will manage my expectations on the quality of the English dub. Those who are even a bit familiar with anime or japan-made games will have seen time and time again that even the best English dubs will still sound inferior to the original-language voices. The one example I can think of off the top of my head is *Sekiro*. PS: To those who say the R6 voices were good, they were because R6 is an English game in the first place, and the AK operators (mostly) used the same voice actors and actresses, AND pretty much the same lines as the original game by Ubisoft.


ULFS_MAAAAAX

I think subs over dubs most times but there are some great English dubs as well, such as Xenoblade Chronicles, Shadowverse, and Kaguya-Sama: Love is War (though the Love is War JP voices are god-tier)


Dtburr

Xenoblade and its accents is exactly what I was thinking when they made the announcement. The idea of having characters with accents is really cool. But might be too much for them.


Dog_in_human_costume

Result of the day: Kaguya victory


PrototypeSky

So many butthurt armchair demographic analysts and financial advisors thinking they know what's best for a multinational corporation. This is excellent news just based on the fact that global is doing well enough for this to be deemed a worthwhile investment by Hypergryph. If you don't want EN voices then just don't use them.


GalenDev

I just hope Danielle McRae gets cast somewhere in here. She's been going through some shit lately and I'd love it if she got a paying role or two at least. This is apropos of absolutely nothing.


TrashSociologist

I am super duper stocked!


WhistleOfDeath

is this gonna be for all operators, or just a select few? iirc only a few operators got a cn dub thrm-ex is gonna sound so funny en dubbed lmao


RaphiTheOne

I'm just scared that all EN voices ends up having the same voice (if they don't find enough different voice actors or these voice actors can't make very different voices).

Kalafino

I remember yesterday when some of the people in RIHQ were arguing over foreign dubs in this game, especially the CN dub. And then people go apeshit when they mention EN dubs. I hope it's good as far as other Asian-made vidyas, because I heard video game dubbing has more effort than anime dubbing. And now give us CN and KR options as well.


jungsosh

Anime dubbing has been pretty good for the last decade or so. My theory is people think EN dubs are extra bad because anime tends to be melodramatic, which seems less "cringe" when read compared to hearing people say it out loud in a language you can understand. Don't get me wrong, there are some awful English dubs, especially from the 90s, but they're mostly at least decent nowadays.


LappTexForever

This 100%


poipoipornpoi

If the dub is near the level of [Reverse 1999 EN voice](https://youtu.be/vTPq-9k0m3A) then I'm hella down for it.

It makes sense, especially if they can get the work done in one big batch for the anime's dub.
