Idk, from my perspective as someone who has a PNW accent where we drop endings and parts of words to make them flow faster I am jealous of the syllable-based construction of Japanese But also yeah, the VAs are awesome too
While the Japanese Witness is good, there's something so imposing about the English Witness. That deep male voice mixed with the higher pitched female voice, it's awesome.
I kind of prefer English Witness. Their voice is more neutral, like you hear male and female reverb, which lends itself to the Witness being something beyond our comprehension. Plus English Witness has such a nihilistic tone, until they get angry. JP sounds evil right out the gate, but not as ominous.
Actually, it does sound like a good premise for shonen series. I mean, we have an army of gun-toting space wizards who have fought and killed gods, time-bending robots, pirates, giant honourbound warriors, a defeated villain turned hero and the Witness and it’s Disciples just being so…extremely dramatic at all times.
Dude the Japanese VA ALWAYS nail the villains and characters so god damned well. Try halo in Japanese for instance the VA always blows my mind to oblivion and back.
I like how the Witness sounds more alien in the Japanese version as opposed to the English version. From the English version, I got a sense of both suffocating fear and mysterious calm, and this sounds like the Witness truly is something different from everything we've seen before.
Calus I think sounds fine, though I prefer his OG English. His English VA I feel has the lovecraftian horror voice nailed down to a T. The Witness on the other hand, I quite like its Japanese voice. Witness's Japanese VA just has this inimical edge to it that I feel the original English was missing. No shade towards the English VAs at all of course, I just wish the Witness had less of a calm demeanor when speaking, and more of an air of inimicality to it.
The Witness isn't really supposed to have that characteristic though. It isn't a villain, it's a cold, ancient entity. It doesn't appear have ill intent towards individuals, otherwise it likely would have wiped out the Vanguard with a swipe of its fingers at the battle in orbit. It simply has a goal of achieving the Final Shape, and sees us not as enemies but as obstacles.
@@evanwilley4064 that’s an interesting way to look at it. Especially with what it said to the Traveller at the end of Lightfall. Plus it claims to be our salvation, here to answer our “cries for help”, so it likely does view us as a race that was meant to give way so a stronger one could live, all working towards the Final Shape.
I don't have that clip. I accidently deleted the recording with the second Calus and Witness cutscene. I've already played threw the campaign with my two other guardians.
They should have worked in a fenale voice actor into the Wintness' vocal layers. I feel it would have matched what they were going for in the english dub more.
The reason why the English version sounds better is the same reason why English dubs of anime sound worse. The script was written in another language so it will always sound off.
in truth it is quite the opposite, it's not easy at all and in fact it came out badly in the Japanese dubbing; it's too aggressive intonation, totally out of character
interesting, but i prefer the english VAs. Though, The Witness' Japanese VA sounds familiar, ive heard him in some high profile stuff... though cant put my finger on it.
@@evidant I'd honestly say the English one does this so much better. It has a variety of voices. You can hear masculine, feminine, high, low voices in the Witnesses's echoes. Check out the Lightfall reveal trailer, you can really hear it there
As somebody who watches Japanese media a fair bit. English witness is just fine. Neither is better it’s just a different language. And for that matter LIGHTFALL WAS GOOD CRY ABOUT IT
I hope people realize that the language doesn't make this scene better. Its the actors that voice them.
look no further then Nezzy himself. that VA delivered some fuckin passion in those lines
@@voidrendx6601 ha, well Nezarec was voiced by an animd actor (English dub), who else can be that hammy?
English Callus killed it, perverted his for sure, but this witness is creepy af
Yes it does

pretty sure it's just the one voice of brett dalton, pitch-shifted
@@IQDESTRUCTORyeah kinda; it’s multiple recordings laid over in different pitch, and speeds
@@CRCADAN wrong. its multiple english VA's alongside dalton
@@IQDESTRUCTOR Dalton is the main voice but the collective voice is the majority of the VA's.
Vastly prefer English Witness, but Japanese Calus and Nezarec are both pretty great.

I’d watch that
Kingdom Hearts
I’d definitely watch that! I know the OP would be epic af!
Yes
Thats the same sound I make when I look down and my drink is empty
Something I love is Japanese and English/ American voice actos always knock it out of the park with each others respected media
Dude the Japanese VA ALWAYS nail the villains and characters so god damned well. Try halo in Japanese for instance the VA always blows my mind to oblivion and back.
Jap VA is, most of the time, overacted af, the only thing they nail is screaming with unnatural voice.
Yeah sure you haven't heard Rhulk in Japanese 😂, and I honestly wouldn't advise you to do so.
They always suck
Bro the witness va actually sucks

I like how the Witness sounds more alien in the Japanese version as opposed to the English version. From the English version, I got a sense of both suffocating fear and mysterious calm, and this sounds like the Witness truly is something different from everything we've seen before.
Calus in Japanese sounds almost exactly like I would imagine.
I prefer the english VA's for them tbh. The english version of the Witness is much more haunting and intangible sounding.

Yeah calus needs a bery deep voice which this one kinda doesn’t have
the calm and apathetic behavior of the Witness is something wanted. I don't think you really understood the character

Was really expecting these to blow the English out of the water but damn, the English VAs really fucking nailed it.
Japanese Nezarec is much better than calus or the witness imo. For these two I prefer the english version
japanese rhulk is awful
Can we get their second scene where Calus pisses himself in Japanese? Thats gotta be good
I don't have that clip. I accidently deleted the recording with the second Calus and Witness cutscene. I've already played threw the campaign with my two other guardians.
Oh my god the kanji for the Witness has such a criminal-proceedings-undertone to it that I absolutely adore!
Bing Chilling
Calus is indeed bing chilling on his throne
Bing Chilling is chinese, not japanese.
@@Netdweller dude that’s litterally why it’s funny to say bing chilling in this situation
@@umbra.2942 Bingu chillingu
Japanese witness sounds like a splatoon character
They should have worked in a fenale voice actor into the Wintness' vocal layers. I feel it would have matched what they were going for in the english dub more.
1:51 *growls in Eigo*
Jojo calus be like
It’s so much cooler when you can’t understand that they’re yapping about the veil.
Japanese witness sounds like a anime villian
lul japanese calus sounds just like common villains in anime. He doesn't sound like cabal or alien at all.
what are you even saying, your implying that the EN cabal VA sound like aliens
And let me do the voice, I can get the effect down for the witness
Destiny 2 is my favorite anime.
The Japanese voice of The Witness reminds me of Dormin from SOTC, maybe is the same VA
Holy shit same lmao
Seems like one of the few times the Japanese actor is a higher pitch than the English actor
There isn't a Japanese equivalent for Darin de Paul unfortunately it seems.
Nope Darin De Paul is undefeated here.
The reason why the English version sounds better is the same reason why English dubs of anime sound worse. The script was written in another language so it will always sound off.
The witness sounds like the spirit voice from shadow of the colossus
Now in german
demato anko goko nanya do goka de ana
The eng witness is nice and really amazing I’d say it’s the best but after him comes jp for sure
Bro like the eng sound send shivers down my spine
Japanese dub sounds cooler, not because it makes the scene better, but because we're a bunch of weebs :)
The Witness and Calus turn funny on japanese
Boss fight how many health bars does this guy have what phase is calus on
The witness was probably easy to dub
in truth it is quite the opposite, it's not easy at all and in fact it came out badly in the Japanese dubbing; it's too aggressive intonation, totally out of character
@@Giacomo_Montanari yeah but they got the lip flaps perfectly
@@noofthecorn3380 oh yes, that is true 😅
Samurai Calus
That sound like 50% more badass then orginal
latin spanish and japanese calus became my favorite, but witness sounds quite a bit better in latin spanish, but just for a bit only.
Huh I don't know what I like better the witness English va or japaneses
english is by far the better, version, the voices fit the character much better. especially calus
True, I expected the Japanese language to add something to their lines, but sadly they didn’t land at all
L take
@@DR_REDACTEDwhy? Japanese better always anime simp?
They’re not bad, I definitely see the appeal in the Japanese version. But I still like the English one more.
Destiny 2 anime confirmed?
interesting, but i prefer the english VAs. Though, The Witness' Japanese VA sounds familiar, ive heard him in some high profile stuff... though cant put my finger on it.
90% sure it's the narrator of Kaguya Sama. The tone has also similarities with Muzan from Demon slayer
I prefer english Calus and Witness, but I quite like Jap Nezarec and Rhulk.
English - :/
Japanese - :O IT AN ANIME
English is still better for both Calus and ESPECIALLY The Witness
I really like how The Witness sounds in japanese, Calus... not so much xD
We need anime
I wish they had a setting in destiny 2 to change the language to Japanese that’ll be dope.
You can change the language in Steam, though I forget exactly how.
La primera escena del video se parece mucho a una escena de Halo 2 xd
1:37 THE ECHO IS DOPE AS FUCK WHY CANT THE ENGLISH VERSION DO THIS
nevermind it does have the echo in eng but its a lot better in jp dub
It does its just a lot more subtle
@@evidant I'd honestly say the English one does this so much better. It has a variety of voices. You can hear masculine, feminine, high, low voices in the Witnesses's echoes. Check out the Lightfall reveal trailer, you can really hear it there
@@evanwilley4064 i did notice yeah its a lot more of a crowd of people talking not just a dude like in the jp dub
This definitely ain't it chief
Veiluwa
Everything better in Japanese
Can you change the dub in game?
I changed the language on my Xbox
english calus way better
I don't like the Calus voice. The Witness is good, but the English voice gives me chills, and this didn't.
The English is better tbh
As somebody who watches Japanese media a fair bit. English witness is just fine. Neither is better it’s just a different language. And for that matter LIGHTFALL WAS GOOD CRY ABOUT IT
Japanese witness sounds terrible holy shit.
rare japanese dub L ts is ass
While ENG calus is undefeatable, JAP witness is absurdly creepy
Nah, these just didn’t land for me - the originals are much better
L😂
I like English Witness better, but JP Calus sounds sounds incredible
