I... liked it. I mean, it's far from perfect, but I feel much, much better about the voices than before. Shame about the general voice direction and some choices here and there.
Noctis' is pretty good. Granted, his JP equivalent is better at conveying range and emotion, but the scene with him talking about his father sending him off with a smile was actually really good and weighty: really suits him, loved it. Cor's is pretty good as well, although I prefer the graver tone in the JP version. Ardyn's is great and incredibly fitting, and the actor seems to love playing the part, very endearing!
Regarding Luna's, although it lacks a little weight sometimes (when she's talking to Levi about Noctis' worthiness), is pretty good; I vastly prefer this one compared to the JP one. I just don't like the tone female characters more than usually use in Japanese, but that's entirely personal.
Now, the three bros... I'm warming up to Prompto's, but still, there was never a chance that I would like a character like that's voice, in any language
(but seriously, I'm starting to find him endearing, even!). Gladio's voice is alright, but lacking in emotion and range, too anime-y. Ignis has a good voice but the accent is sooooo fucking forced and snobbish. I don't get it, the actor's normal voice is great in itself :/
So yeah. I'll be playing the JP version, as I always usually consume media in the native language and the actors in the original version are top notch, despite my hate for the relatively usual awkwardness and exaggeration of Japanese acting. But, despite its many flaws (mainly direction), I don't really have that many complaints about the voices themselves.
Haha, I thought the same. I overall prefer the new colours and, obviously, the busier scenario, both of which look noticeably better. The lighting looks flatter, though, but in a general sense this looks cleaner.
