    It came to my attention that some of the information in this video is straight up wrong or missing.
    I'm talking about Shoko & Mama.
    Those two their ENG voices are not confirmed altough it is likely those are their real VAs.
    Another thing I need to add is that Falco's JP VA is Tarusuke Shingaki, who I didn't include because he wasn't listed in the credits and I couldn't find him through research.
    I apologize for the mistakes and I'm hoping you enjoy the video regardless!!

    That moment when you realize Mama's English VA also has voiced Scorpion.

    The woman that voiced Mayumi, Philece Sampler, I've never heard her voice before but she did a fantastic job as Mayumi! During Ota's Route and in the Annihilation Route I could really hear/feel the pain in her voice and the sobs were so heartbreakingly realistic, it caused me to tear up as well. Also I will be forever scarred knowing that the same person that voices Endeavor, Kunikida, and Germany also voices Mama in AISTF. 😂By the way Falco/#89/Hayato Yagyu is voiced by the same voice actor as Date in the Japanese version just so you know. It's so weird lol, his English and Japanese voices are so different!

      She voiced Taokaka in BlazBlue. We won't be getting any more roles from her, since she unfortunately died.

    It's impresive how well some of the voices fit, like, I played first in japanese voice of course this being an anime game and stuff. But I'm surprised how well Mizuki, Date, Aiba and Boss sound, Ota doesn't fit at all, he sounds too much like a man

      Honestly as someone who mainly associates Zach’s voice with teenaged characters considering some of the first roles of his I heard, I’d say he still fits as Ota even if not the best

      @seihaiteamfs7333 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Because Ota is a man, he's 20s something in the game. They probably want to bring a little sense of "natural speech" in the localization too because an English Speaker sounds like a shota is kinda... cringed.

      I. firmly believe that throughout the whole game somehow... it beats the JP dub I didn't think it was possible and also AINI only improves

    cool video :-) are you going to make something similar for aini? i'd love to hear comparisons since imo the english dub's quality is even better in the second game (not that it wasn't already incredible in ai1, of course)

    • @JoloAITSF
      @JoloAITSF  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I made a video a while ago comparing the Character Trailer VAs but I should definitely update it to include Riichi, Mamoru, etc. And of course, to remove the background music.
