I disagree with miquella's voice actors deliverance being bad. The character is supposed to be gentle/kind and not tragic, furios or euphoric. However the rest you said about it is true. Btw you should have mentioned the grab-voicelines, because (for me) they are more memorable.
@@Doinkinator69I still think in comparison it's not the best by any means though. The actor portrayed him as he was supposed to but it just doesn't hit nearly as hard as "mongrel intruder".
way too critical on Miquella, and Rykard's voice acting is great. It sounds like he is struggling to speak and choking on the corpses he's ingested. Other than that, good video. Fun to watch.
@@Doinkinator69 That's cool and all but like he's clearly based on Vlad the Impaler??? Like, they did very similar things, and literally share a title. Its kinda freaky how u saw a tyrannical genocidal king and said "must be hitler"
The craziest part about Messmer is that it’s his VA’s very first role in a video game. And he delivered what might possibly be the best performance I’ve ever heard in a FromSoft game, a studio that is known for having some of the best voice acting out there
Holy shit its his first time?? Fromsoft def should hire him more becuz as you said its one of the best if not the best performance in any of the fromsoft game.

I thought Miquella’s voice was really good. I don’t really think there are any bad voice lines in Elden Ring. I feel like if anything it’s more like comparing good to fantastic 🤷🏾♂️

Emboldened by the FLAME of ambition", "Have it writ upon thy meagre grave" and "The thrones, stained by my curse, such shame I cannot bear"
Sorry but i gotta give it to Godfrey. Badass monologues must run in his family because him and Morgott are by far the bosses with the most character and best writing. He has a sweet moment with his son and then places him down to talk to you, with a voice fitting of a true king. Not to mention the fact that Godfrey and his army were the origin of the tarnished, it is likely that we ourselves were part of his army as in the intro we also come back from outside the lands between. That is why he treats you with respect, you probably was one of his warriors. Serosh also roaring in specific moments to emphasize his emotions and delivery on the lines was great. Also if you were aware of how Serosh suppressed his bloodlust before the bossfight, seeing him give Serosh his thanks before slaying him is one of the best lore reveals in the game.

BTW I read your replies in the comments and can I just say you seem like a genuinely great person. You’re so respectful and always try to find the strengths in others arguments even when they’re being rude to you keep up the good work
Wow thank you !! never really thought about it like that. But yeah everyone is entitled to their own opinions so I'm never gonna get mad when someone disagrees with me. I enjoy the conversations that disagreement creates
I fully disagree with the take on miquella. I feel like your hate for his voice lines is just pure grude-filled copium for the boss likely having given you a very hard time to beat him. There is no way they're as abhorrently bad as you exaggerated, as they are completely in line with the character and his lore, his writing into the story and his developments up until that point, and how he was meant to be portrayed with the voice actress's solid delivery. So it makes no sense how you heard his voice lines and somehow thought they didn't meet any of the criteria you provided other than you just being spiteful. But oh well, opinions over facts ig 🤷🏾♂️
very fair and valid points you've made here. I did go to town on him a little bit too hard. Voice lines aren't as easy to measure as something like how hard a boss hits you or how many openings they have or whatnot. It's about as subjective an opinion as they come. I just remember feeling very disappointed on my first playthrough and I haven't been able to get rid of that feeling
@@frapapeto please don't confuse yourself with most people. While there were a lot of people who felt that the boss was unfair(mainly with that double cross slash bs), that didn't mean he sucked. Plus he got nerfed pretty recently and most people love him way more than they did originally. Just cuz the boss is difficult doesn't mean it sucks 💀. Second, Miquella's voice wasn't mid. I'm not saying it's the greatest thing ever, but It fit him perfectly and the voice actress did a wonderful job with her delivery. You're just hating because the boss kicked your ass and made you mad. And lastly, The lore is not that confusing at all and honestly one of the more well-crafted lore verses of fromsofts games. You just seem to have trouble taking in information that the game gives you I guess 🤷🏾♂️
Radahn defenders are hilarious always bringing out the same argument of “oh, you’re critiquing this boss? Must be bad lol” this fight is easy if you know what you’re doing, as is every fight in every fromsoft game.
@@Timebomb_19 this isn't even a case of "ha ha Radahn defenders 🤪", it's just that recently I've been seeing people hate on the most random and out of the blue aspects of the character or the game in general, and I mostly feel it's just because the fight kicked their ass. There's a fine difference between having genuine criticism and then just blindly hating it to the point of spouting nonsense, cuz almost everyone I've come across who "critiques" The boss never provide any actual substance to their complaints, and it just comes across as butthurt copium. Of course a fight is gonna be easier the more you understand it, that is the most bare bones basic obvious knowledge when it comes to anything in any game ever. But just cuz you understand something doesn't take away from the initial challenging factor that the boss provides, and it will still make you have to try pretty hard if you want to win.
Messmer is a victim too, which makes his defeat line heartbreaking. He did that war under Marikas orders, and was abandoned after because Marika was afraid of the abyssal serpent within him
Nice video and perspective might I add. Make a video ranking the best cutscenes in Elden Ring and probably from the other Soulsbourne series titles (but first Elden Ring). Thank you for sharing this video. Cheers mate.
Ok I'm finished, great video man! I just think miquellas delivering and voice acting performance wasn't as bad as you said, but all in all, I can say that I agree! keep it up you're gonna make it big with this type of quality
Maliketh's voicelines after you've done his questline are easily some of the best I've ever heard. The anguish, the steeling resolve, and his menacing yet sympathetic words to you. And his death lines hit so hard "Marika...forgive me. The Golden Order...cannot be restored..."
I honeslty prefer this bored voice of Messmer, as most of his lines and ost as well as his tragic backstory fits waayy better with this monotone voice. Def my favorite character in the whole game.
About Midra, a little fun fact: the voice actor is also the guy who voiced Gascoigne in Bloodborne, lmao And over there, he did a great job at voice acting, lol
You didn’t mention morgott’s line where he talks about the fact that every demigod is a traitor while saying each of their name . Probably my favourite line in the game
How could you forget SIR GIDEON OFNIR THE ALL KNOWING "I know.. in my BONES, a tarnished cannot become a lord; not even you. A man cannot kill... a god." 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
@@NitakuDragonsoulAnsbach is better imo just because of the delivery of “He wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men. There is nothing more terrifying.” Igon is still a goat tho! :D
@FabioDaFemboy absolutely also there's "General Radahn. A pleasure to see you, after all this time. But those remains do not belong to you. Lord Mohg will have his dignity."
i never heard that line from Messmer since i somehow managed to beat him on my first attempt but now i wish i had lost to him cause that line goes hard
I personally agree that Rykards voice line delivery is very silly compared to everyone elses, its almost like they shouldve put an effect on it like they did Malikeths rather than having him make his voice grovely like that. I also feel the same way about Moghs delivery, his lines are cool but the delivery is a bit over the top and silly to me. If I had to choose I would pick Margit as the best. He had the best lines and delivery to me
you were a bit wrong about messmers whole hypocrite thing. he was a child, manipulated and abandoned by his mother. a mother whom he still loves. in his end he curses her for all the suffering he endured under her rule.
Also not going to lie, Messmer is good. But if you noticed they changed his voice delivery in the game, as in the trailer he sounded different, and in my opinion he just sounded way better. Like the "mother, woulds't thou truly lordship sanction in one so bereft of light" or "those stripped of the grace of gold shall all meet death, in the embrance of Messmers flame" had such an ominous, creepy delivery in the trailer
I gotta say, i disagree with godfrey being so low. He respects you so much because he knows how hard the tarnished had to fight to stand before him, given that he himself is also a tarnished who also once stood against the struggles we had to face. Think of the fight between godfrey and the tarnished as a battle in the ring, sure you can be an ass towards your opponent but if you don't respect them or even underestimate them you could find yourself on the ground and pushed into a corner. That's why i love godfrey. I mean that guy had a fricking army of tarnished that fought alongside him. Also holy f i did not intend this to be so long, sorry.
I disagree with Midra being so low on the list. The emotion in the voice is there and if one takes enough effort to get the lore, which is I admit a bit convoluted re. Midra and Nanaya, it makes for an incredibly painful breaking of an oath he took to contain Flame of Frenzy. Also his line before the fight is actually delivered in so good way that I can feel the pain he feels when he tries to stop the player from interfering. Midra, in the end, contained Flame of Frenzy to keep it away from the rest. And now you enter his manse and try to force him to release it, well he does in the end but with incredible level of disappointment with his own weakness, and with terrible regret he couldn't keep promise he gave to Nanaya, and also with a touch of relief and despair. Those lines alone "Enough... I have endured... more than enough..." are full of barely contained desperation, sadness and yet a promise of great power ready to be released. And yes, Midra is my favorite boss :D
Miquella is supposed to sound like that and putting how he is described in lore obviously he wont scream his voice lines or deliver them with anger I think people just keep finding new ways to hate on the boss itself
I feel you were biased against Miquella and a lot of your anger was just because you dislike the boss, and you didn't give the voicelines a fair chance. I think the voice actor did a great job (just like every other voice actor in the game). I particularly like "My loyal blade, and champion of the festival. Both your deeds will forever be praised in song." Considering how the majority of bosses are super evil and diss us, I think it's a nice suprise when a boss is respectful. It's also why I love Chadfrey "thy strength befits a crown." Also Margit easily has the best death voice line in the game: "I shall remember thee, tarnished. Smouldering with thy meagre flame. Cower in fear, of the night. The hands of the fell omen shall brook thee no quarter." Not only does it foreshadow Morgott's return later, but considering Margit is the first boss many players will face, it sets the game up perfectly. He basically tells us that we may think we are hot shit for beating a boss, but we are still in for a world of hurt. Perfect line for the first boss Idk if you left him out intentionally or just forgot, but I think Gideon Ofnir's voice actor kills it. I am jealous that my voice doesn't sound this cool. Every time he speaks its music to my ears
Good video but the excuse for Godfrey being that low makes no sense. Him showing respect when no other does is not only as a first in elden ring, but the first time in the series for a boss to do that
I'm surprised you didn't highlight the line "I've given thee courtesy enough," from Godfrey. IMO, no single line in the game goes quite as hard. Otherwise extremely based vid!
I agree with most of your takes but I would swap miquella and dancing lions placements.The dancing lion literally has zero voice lines. But that’s just my opinion.
@@celest_art GREAT QUESTION. I think Rellana's or Romina's is my favorite in Elden ring but I gotta say sister Friede's is my favorite in all the souls games
First of all, i enjoyed the video. But it feels weird how you set baselines for how you'll be juding the characters and just get them wrong or have like "yeah dude this doesn't sound badass" levels of judgement Mikella voicelices are a perfect fit for his character, his delivery is as neutral as it can be, he got rid of every human aspect he had, he's chalenging you to fight him and yet we can't get any will to fight or to cause harm. Rykard should invoke a grotesque feeling, after all he lost himself to glutony, if anything he lacks more SFX during his deliverys to sound more disgusting, the VA did a great job Godfrey sound like a generic anouncer for MMO RPG trailers and Hora Loux lacks the sevagery it should have Midra is a bad version of everything good about messmer. Maliketh is aweasome but you get him so wrong dude WTF? his voice is trying to hide an eternal remorse and guilt over godwins death, he doesn't sound badass, he sounds sad. Divine Beast is one of the best fights in the game and it feels so bad to talk about bosses without having a way to include him. But even if you'd consider the old lady delivery. Her announcement is way too weak compared to Ranni's message before Renalla 2nd phase
Valid points. I tried to make a baseline for what I think is good but at the end of the day it only came down to which ones I liked the most. Sometimes it's hard to give well articulated reason on why you like something when all you know is that you like it
@@Doinkinator69 i totally get it. at the end of the day the topic of the video got me and a bunch of people engaged enough to leave comments. Tier lists always do amazing content idea btw, this is the kind of idea that make channels blow. Keep it up
I kinda wish the list itself wasn't from "worst to best" but rather just "most memorable"? I understand you have your own opinion and I have my own, biased as it is too, but I feel like all the acting in the game is pretty damn solid man. For instance, calling Miquella's comes off as a little rude and disrespectful. I personally don't think it's bad at all. He is Miquella the Kind after all, and though he's not being kind to our asses at that point, it still fits with the character. I do wish though that they did that memory scene better, but still to put down the acting seems a little immature. Regarding Godfrey, you seemed to have strayed from your own three categories as well. Lore wise, there's a reason he respects you at this point. You're basically his final challenge. I understand it's not as satisfying perhaps to put down a boss that isn't as smug as the others, but still he delivers the respect of a warrior well and the writing is superb as he sees you as an equal. As for Rykard's voice acting, though understandably it is memey, I think it's still solid writing. I mean look at the guy, how the hell does he speak to begin with? The delivery is solid for a guy who let a snake devour him. Lore implications, he clearly shows his intent to devour the gods, which shows why he's seen as a traitor or heretic. That all aside though, again, though perhaps you did not mean to come across as harsh and critical, that's kinda the feeling I got from it. These are all pretty solid voice actors and I think, personally, good lines. To call it bad or the worst even I think is far too negative and critical of the actual talent these VAs have. Again, I doubt that's your intention, but that's how I felt and see it throughout the early parts of the video. If it was most memorable boss lines to you then I think that would be a more positive kind of video at least, or if nothing else, neutral. Sorry for the long paragraphs, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on it. Cheers fellow Tarnished, I hope you do well man! 👍
@@bigdpaxco I read the entirety of this comment and I’m pretty sad I didn’t do it like that. After making this vid I realised I don’t like making ranking videos and I probably won’t make another one 😂 but yeah just wanna let you know your comment was very well thought out and it wasn’t attacking me in anyway and I thought you made some very strong points.
Great video and cool concept; for me personally I absolutely love everything that has to do with Miquella, he is in my opinion from softwares best main villain. Due to his ambiguous nature, his genuinely great morals, and insanely evil methods. I personally found the end cutscenes/memory to be the most satisfying end reward to any from software boss. The sheer earnestness with which he says “I’ll make the world a gentle place” unironically gives me chills just thinking about it. This man a no doubt that he is doing the right thing, and his actions all stem from his dream to make the world a gentle place. Anyway voice acting is kinda mid, minus that one line. Great video
Miquella being 13 and Rykard at 12? Really… I genuine feel you are letting your hate for Miquella as a boss impact your own judgement here. Miquellas voice fits his character perfectly, a calm, warm and kind sounding voice where he after finishing his plot becoming a god at last offers you to contemplate your action. You who has seen the sins of the world, the horrors and death are offered a better world, that you should surrender and let Miquella follow through his plan. It makes sense, is thematic and delivered exactly in character as you defy his act of selfish kindness. With Rykard his voice is the perfectly showing his deteriorated state, his struggle to speak after consuming so many and losing himself in the serpent. Like there are many gripes I have but these are the two big ones for me especially Miquella at lowest is to me just unthinkable.
I see what you're saying but at the end of the day it's almost impossible for a video like this to be objective since there is nothing to be measured. My hate for Miquella definitely impacted my judgement. I always liked the fight but I couldn't help feeling disappointed when I heard miquella speak and it's hard for me to see any other point of view. But I do appreciate your feedback and you make some good points about rykkard! could've definitely argued that he deserved a better spot
@@creeperYT9824 I can actually no hit him pretty confidently 😌 I enjoy the fight itself but I was very disappointed at its presentation and felt like it didn’t live up to the rest of the dlc. The video was about the voice lines only and the fights were not relevant ! I’m happy for you if you enjoyed Miquellas character but I did not. This video was never meant to be objective

very fair and valid points you've made here. I did go to town on him a little bit too hard. Voice lines aren't as easy to measure as something like how hard a boss hits you or how many openings they have or whatnot. It's about as subjective an opinion as they come. I just remember feeling very disappointed on my first playthrough and I haven't been able to get rid of that feeling
The boss sucks and the voice is kinda mid. I means most people don't care about the lore of the game since it's super confusing
@@frapapeto please don't confuse yourself with most people. While there were a lot of people who felt that the boss was unfair(mainly with that double cross slash bs), that didn't mean he sucked. Plus he got nerfed pretty recently and most people love him way more than they did originally. Just cuz the boss is difficult doesn't mean it sucks 💀. Second, Miquella's voice wasn't mid. I'm not saying it's the greatest thing ever, but It fit him perfectly and the voice actress did a wonderful job with her delivery. You're just hating because the boss kicked your ass and made you mad. And lastly, The lore is not that confusing at all and honestly one of the more well-crafted lore verses of fromsofts games. You just seem to have trouble taking in information that the game gives you I guess 🤷🏾♂️
Radahn defenders are hilarious always bringing out the same argument of “oh, you’re critiquing this boss? Must be bad lol” this fight is easy if you know what you’re doing, as is every fight in every fromsoft game.
@@Timebomb_19 this isn't even a case of "ha ha Radahn defenders 🤪", it's just that recently I've been seeing people hate on the most random and out of the blue aspects of the character or the game in general, and I mostly feel it's just because the fight kicked their ass. There's a fine difference between having genuine criticism and then just blindly hating it to the point of spouting nonsense, cuz almost everyone I've come across who "critiques" The boss never provide any actual substance to their complaints, and it just comes across as butthurt copium. Of course a fight is gonna be easier the more you understand it, that is the most bare bones basic obvious knowledge when it comes to anything in any game ever. But just cuz you understand something doesn't take away from the initial challenging factor that the boss provides, and it will still make you have to try pretty hard if you want to win.
Messmer is a victim too, which makes his defeat line heartbreaking. He did that war under Marikas orders, and was abandoned after because Marika was afraid of the abyssal serpent within him
Nice video and perspective might I add. Make a video ranking the best cutscenes in Elden Ring and probably from the other Soulsbourne series titles (but first Elden Ring).
Thank you for sharing this video. Cheers mate.
I just started the video ad it's already great! I'll leave my final review down below when I'm finished
Ok I'm finished, great video man! I just think miquellas delivering and voice acting performance wasn't as bad as you said, but all in all, I can say that I agree! keep it up you're gonna make it big with this type of quality
Maliketh's voicelines after you've done his questline are easily some of the best I've ever heard. The anguish, the steeling resolve, and his menacing yet sympathetic words to you. And his death lines hit so hard "Marika...forgive me. The Golden Order...cannot be restored..."
I know this is just the bosses but the "CURSE YOU BAYLE!!" will be forever be my most favourite line
Messmer sounded great in the trailer and bored in-game. Still mad they used a different take.
Maliketh is a bass. They are built different. XD
I think Messmer is supposed to sound bored because he’s said that line thousands of times during his crusade.
I honeslty prefer this bored voice of Messmer, as most of his lines and ost as well as his tragic backstory fits waayy better with this monotone voice. Def my favorite character in the whole game.
And number one voice line goes to...

MY NAAAAME IS GYOBU MASATAKA ONIWAAAAA!!!!!!!1!
LOL I actually recently started playing sekiro and this made me laugh
ROBERTTTT takes a close second
ME LLAMO
About Midra, a little fun fact: the voice actor is also the guy who voiced Gascoigne in Bloodborne, lmao
And over there, he did a great job at voice acting, lol
Had no idea! pretty cool
Cn we talk about how good the transisions between Bosses is? Why does bro not have more Subs?
You didn’t mention morgott’s line where he talks about the fact that every demigod is a traitor while saying each of their name . Probably my favourite line in the game
Guys is it gay that I like getting grabbed by radahn because miquella starts rizzing me up or no
Miquella is a femboy, and femboys are essentially women. So I’d say it’s only a little bit gay.
We all knew the true number 1. “CURSE YOU BAYLE!!!“
“You’ll witness true horror” not mentioned??
How could you forget SIR GIDEON OFNIR THE ALL KNOWING
"I know.. in my BONES, a tarnished cannot become a lord; not even you. A man cannot kill... a god."
🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Not putting Igon’s voice lines in for Bayles fight whilst putting Grandhams lines for Dancing Lion is crazy
my fav line is mesmers last line when he dies cursing his mother
messmer cursing his mother in his final moments its peak to me.
7:05 "Tarnished warrior... thy sttength befits a crown"
Igon though not a boss deserves an hinerable mention for that voice actors ability to scream from his very soul
@@NitakuDragonsoul lmao, was thinking of eventually doing an NPC version of this and you best believe he’d be high up on that list
@@Doinkinator69 him and Ansbach I imagine being high up, there's a ton of great one liners though
@@NitakuDragonsoulAnsbach is better imo just because of the delivery of “He wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men. There is nothing more terrifying.”
Igon is still a goat tho! :D
@FabioDaFemboy absolutely also there's "General Radahn. A pleasure to see you, after all this time. But those remains do not belong to you. Lord Mohg will have his dignity."
Disagree Godrick it’s top 3 best line of the game “for fathers one and all bear witness” with the grafted dragon was hard as hell
Can't forget "A Crown Is Warranted With Strength...!"
Midra is a 10/10 bro what 💀 its perfect. His Nanaya line is literally the best line bro
morgot has the best lines and its not even close
Putting miquella in 13 is criminal💀 it’s the best lines in the game😭🙏
very good video keep it up
Holding out for the coming of the MOGwyn dynasty 🧏🧏🧏
i never heard that line from Messmer since i somehow managed to beat him on my first attempt but now i wish i had lost to him cause that line goes hard
Personally:
13. Rykard
12. Divine Beast
11. Midra
10. Miquella
9. Rennala
8. Mohg
7. Godrick
6. Malenia
5. Chadfrey, First Gym Lord
4. Margit
3. Messmer
2. Morgoat, The Chad King
1. Chadiketh, The Giga Blade
I really wish Rellana and Romina didn’t have their voicelines cut, so this list could be longer
Mongrel intruder, thou’rt tarnished it seem’eth hits hardest for me
For me no one can top Maliketh's last line "witless tarnished, why covet destined death... to kill what?"
Its funny how people start to hate on Miquella because the boss itself causes too much rage 😂
You the guy who they nerfed radahn for
hell yeah
Nerfed? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿 Bitch, they just fixed a broken frame trap and reduced the brightness of his light beams
Takes are hotter than Midra
NEVER cook again 🔥
I personally agree that Rykards voice line delivery is very silly compared to everyone elses, its almost like they shouldve put an effect on it like they did Malikeths rather than having him make his voice grovely like that. I also feel the same way about Moghs delivery, his lines are cool but the delivery is a bit over the top and silly to me. If I had to choose I would pick Margit as the best. He had the best lines and delivery to me
How to spit amazing lines. Step 1: be manipulated or used by Marika.
23:10 Bro Whattt💀
you were a bit wrong about messmers whole hypocrite thing. he was a child, manipulated and abandoned by his mother. a mother whom he still loves. in his end he curses her for all the suffering he endured under her rule.
Radagon: "🗿"
Also not going to lie, Messmer is good. But if you noticed they changed his voice delivery in the game, as in the trailer he sounded different, and in my opinion he just sounded way better.
Like the "mother, woulds't thou truly lordship sanction in one so bereft of light" or "those stripped of the grace of gold shall all meet death, in the embrance of Messmers flame" had such an ominous, creepy delivery in the trailer
Malenia's voice is way too iconic not to be top 3 as I still sometimes hear her in my dreams
I gotta say, i disagree with godfrey being so low. He respects you so much because he knows how hard the tarnished had to fight to stand before him, given that he himself is also a tarnished who also once stood against the struggles we had to face.
Think of the fight between godfrey and the tarnished as a battle in the ring, sure you can be an ass towards your opponent but if you don't respect them or even underestimate them you could find yourself on the ground and pushed into a corner. That's why i love godfrey. I mean that guy had a fricking army of tarnished that fought alongside him.
Also holy f i did not intend this to be so long, sorry.
Was Hitler really necessary 💀
@@Mitsurugi-Ryu yes. No regrets
I disagree with Midra being so low on the list. The emotion in the voice is there and if one takes enough effort to get the lore, which is I admit a bit convoluted re. Midra and Nanaya, it makes for an incredibly painful breaking of an oath he took to contain Flame of Frenzy. Also his line before the fight is actually delivered in so good way that I can feel the pain he feels when he tries to stop the player from interfering. Midra, in the end, contained Flame of Frenzy to keep it away from the rest. And now you enter his manse and try to force him to release it, well he does in the end but with incredible level of disappointment with his own weakness, and with terrible regret he couldn't keep promise he gave to Nanaya, and also with a touch of relief and despair. Those lines alone "Enough... I have endured... more than enough..." are full of barely contained desperation, sadness and yet a promise of great power ready to be released.
And yes, Midra is my favorite boss :D
lowe’s this is a clapped list
Sad that Gideon’s dialogue was forgotten to be ranked. He would have been #1.
Miquella is supposed to sound like that and putting how he is described in lore obviously he wont scream his voice lines or deliver them with anger
I think people just keep finding new ways to hate on the boss itself
Igon has The best voice line
Rykard is goated though
I feel you were biased against Miquella and a lot of your anger was just because you dislike the boss, and you didn't give the voicelines a fair chance. I think the voice actor did a great job (just like every other voice actor in the game). I particularly like "My loyal blade, and champion of the festival. Both your deeds will forever be praised in song." Considering how the majority of bosses are super evil and diss us, I think it's a nice suprise when a boss is respectful. It's also why I love Chadfrey "thy strength befits a crown."
Also Margit easily has the best death voice line in the game: "I shall remember thee, tarnished. Smouldering with thy meagre flame. Cower in fear, of the night. The hands of the fell omen shall brook thee no quarter."
Not only does it foreshadow Morgott's return later, but considering Margit is the first boss many players will face, it sets the game up perfectly. He basically tells us that we may think we are hot shit for beating a boss, but we are still in for a world of hurt. Perfect line for the first boss
Idk if you left him out intentionally or just forgot, but I think Gideon Ofnir's voice actor kills it. I am jealous that my voice doesn't sound this cool. Every time he speaks its music to my ears
Good video but the excuse for Godfrey being that low makes no sense. Him showing respect when no other does is not only as a first in elden ring, but the first time in the series for a boss to do that
The lion dancer’s voice lines change slightly if you kill Grandam beforehand, so for me it goes higher on the list
Tbh I was agreeing with you until except for messmer Godfrey and Malekith I think 1. Malekith 2. Messmer and 5. Godfrey moving the rest down one
Maliketh is goated
@@Doinkinator69 Frfr
I'm surprised you didn't highlight the line "I've given thee courtesy enough," from Godfrey. IMO, no single line in the game goes quite as hard.
Otherwise extremely based vid!
THE DEPTHS OF YOUR FOOLISHNESS!
In the embrace🔥
I agree with most of your takes but I would swap miquella and dancing lions placements.The dancing lion literally has zero voice lines. But that’s just my opinion.
yeah I considered even including him at all but i liked the cutscene so I just went for it.
I disagree with the whole thing the best voice line is yours! Because remember when you face a boss and defeat him YOU ARE THE BOSS yourself! 😁
LOL i love that
@@Doinkinator69 Also, I'm glad about the way you mentioned Maliketh.
Btw what is your favorite boss music ?
@@celest_art GREAT QUESTION. I think Rellana's or Romina's is my favorite in Elden ring but I gotta say sister Friede's is my favorite in all the souls games
@@Doinkinator69 "my flail bring me my flail" 😘 I love Sister fried and father Ariandel in everything
W vid idea
Igon #1 if he was a boss
First of all, i enjoyed the video. But it feels weird how you set baselines for how you'll be juding the characters and just get them wrong or have like "yeah dude this doesn't sound badass" levels of judgement
Mikella voicelices are a perfect fit for his character, his delivery is as neutral as it can be, he got rid of every human aspect he had, he's chalenging you to fight him and yet we can't get any will to fight or to cause harm.
Rykard should invoke a grotesque feeling, after all he lost himself to glutony, if anything he lacks more SFX during his deliverys to sound more disgusting, the VA did a great job
Godfrey sound like a generic anouncer for MMO RPG trailers and Hora Loux lacks the sevagery it should have
Midra is a bad version of everything good about messmer.
Maliketh is aweasome but you get him so wrong dude WTF? his voice is trying to hide an eternal remorse and guilt over godwins death, he doesn't sound badass, he sounds sad.
Divine Beast is one of the best fights in the game and it feels so bad to talk about bosses without having a way to include him. But even if you'd consider the old lady delivery. Her announcement is way too weak compared to Ranni's message before Renalla 2nd phase
Valid points. I tried to make a baseline for what I think is good but at the end of the day it only came down to which ones I liked the most. Sometimes it's hard to give well articulated reason on why you like something when all you know is that you like it
@@Doinkinator69 i totally get it. at the end of the day the topic of the video got me and a bunch of people engaged enough to leave comments.
Tier lists always do
amazing content idea btw, this is the kind of idea that make channels blow. Keep it up
@@EricksonSRS Thank you!! appreciate the feedback my friend. everyone loves a tier list, myself included
@@EricksonSRS and yeah like you said, this vid is getting lots of engagement which I can't complain about !
I think Mohg has the best voice line, and Margit/Morgott second
I kinda wish the list itself wasn't from "worst to best" but rather just "most memorable"? I understand you have your own opinion and I have my own, biased as it is too, but I feel like all the acting in the game is pretty damn solid man. For instance, calling Miquella's comes off as a little rude and disrespectful. I personally don't think it's bad at all. He is Miquella the Kind after all, and though he's not being kind to our asses at that point, it still fits with the character. I do wish though that they did that memory scene better, but still to put down the acting seems a little immature. Regarding Godfrey, you seemed to have strayed from your own three categories as well. Lore wise, there's a reason he respects you at this point. You're basically his final challenge. I understand it's not as satisfying perhaps to put down a boss that isn't as smug as the others, but still he delivers the respect of a warrior well and the writing is superb as he sees you as an equal.
As for Rykard's voice acting, though understandably it is memey, I think it's still solid writing. I mean look at the guy, how the hell does he speak to begin with? The delivery is solid for a guy who let a snake devour him. Lore implications, he clearly shows his intent to devour the gods, which shows why he's seen as a traitor or heretic.
That all aside though, again, though perhaps you did not mean to come across as harsh and critical, that's kinda the feeling I got from it. These are all pretty solid voice actors and I think, personally, good lines. To call it bad or the worst even I think is far too negative and critical of the actual talent these VAs have. Again, I doubt that's your intention, but that's how I felt and see it throughout the early parts of the video. If it was most memorable boss lines to you then I think that would be a more positive kind of video at least, or if nothing else, neutral.
Sorry for the long paragraphs, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on it. Cheers fellow Tarnished, I hope you do well man! 👍
@@bigdpaxco I read the entirety of this comment and I’m pretty sad I didn’t do it like that. After making this vid I realised I don’t like making ranking videos and I probably won’t make another one 😂 but yeah just wanna let you know your comment was very well thought out and it wasn’t attacking me in anyway and I thought you made some very strong points.
Before I watch it: Morgott on first place or ....
A pity. Not subscribing. 😢
@@AlexCatable I did say the top 3 were all interchangeable doe 😉
@@Doinkinator69 true )
Where is my Fire Giant? Why is he not number one?
he really should've been
Valid list
Personally I think basegane radahn has the best with the opening cutscene
Great video and cool concept; for me personally I absolutely love everything that has to do with Miquella, he is in my opinion from softwares best main villain. Due to his ambiguous nature, his genuinely great morals, and insanely evil methods. I personally found the end cutscenes/memory to be the most satisfying end reward to any from software boss. The sheer earnestness with which he says “I’ll make the world a gentle place” unironically gives me chills just thinking about it. This man a no doubt that he is doing the right thing, and his actions all stem from his dream to make the world a gentle place. Anyway voice acting is kinda mid, minus that one line. Great video
CUUUUUURSE YOUUUU, BAYYYYLEEEEE!!!!!
#1 had better be either godrick or maliketh
What bout Count Ymir and Gideon shouldnt they also be included
Miquella being 13 and Rykard at 12?
Really…
I genuine feel you are letting your hate for Miquella as a boss impact your own judgement here.
Miquellas voice fits his character perfectly, a calm, warm and kind sounding voice where he after finishing his plot becoming a god at last offers you to contemplate your action. You who has seen the sins of the world, the horrors and death are offered a better world, that you should surrender and let Miquella follow through his plan.
It makes sense, is thematic and delivered exactly in character as you defy his act of selfish kindness.
With Rykard his voice is the perfectly showing his deteriorated state, his struggle to speak after consuming so many and losing himself in the serpent.
Like there are many gripes I have but these are the two big ones for me especially Miquella at lowest is to me just unthinkable.
I see what you're saying but at the end of the day it's almost impossible for a video like this to be objective since there is nothing to be measured. My hate for Miquella definitely impacted my judgement. I always liked the fight but I couldn't help feeling disappointed when I heard miquella speak and it's hard for me to see any other point of view. But I do appreciate your feedback and you make some good points about rykkard! could've definitely argued that he deserved a better spot
I honestly disagree with most of the list only ones I agree with is miquella being low, miquella’s voice lines aren’t very memorable to me
i guarantee the only reason you hate miquella is because radahn beat the shit outta you, nothing you say makes any sense
@@creeperYT9824 I can actually no hit him pretty confidently 😌 I enjoy the fight itself but I was very disappointed at its presentation and felt like it didn’t live up to the rest of the dlc. The video was about the voice lines only and the fights were not relevant ! I’m happy for you if you enjoyed Miquellas character but I did not. This video was never meant to be objective
