Actually, “the devil must be beating his wife” is actually a really old and outdated phrase for when it’s sunny and raining at the same time. It’s really obscure and doesn’t make up for the voice acting though, lol.
This has gotta be one of those times you leave the English VA on, it's, not bad average, it's bad hilarious. If you turn it off, you'll be missing all the funnies
Man this game is old. However despite this games really bad voice acting, it truly is a diamond in the rough. Great characters, story, game mechanics, music, excellent boss fights and badass specials and summons. The only thing holding this game back greatly is the voice acting.
Wow, the voice acting in Persona 3 and 4 is NOTHING in comparison to this, you can tell how much effort and soul they put into this dub, get on Arc Rise Fantasia's level Atlus.
Kanny Boy Junpei voice actor voiced so many characters. He's a legend and same for Mitsuru's voice actress. Fuuka and Aegis' voices are so annoying though.
"Strange...it's sunny, but it's raining." "Ah. The devil must be beating his wife." Yeah. Sure. And when there's a thunder storm, it means God is eating a ham sandwich. What the hell is this game?
@@garomastervideos yeah, they didn't add on the last part. The devil must be beating his wife because she burned the cornbread. It's wild. I'm guessing the rain is supposed to be her tears.
This VA work reminds me of Way of the Samurai 2. Makes sense considering this was one of those "dubbed in Japan by local native English speakers" dubs.
One of my favorite jrpgs of last gen. The voice acting is only really bad for Ryfia, L'arc is a little bland but tolerable and I find Niko kind of endearing. Some of the voice acting is actually pretty good, like Rastan, it's just kind of a mixed bag. I strongly recommend anyone trying it, it has a good story, good music, and a very addictive battle system.
Jeremy Hervieux I strongly disagree. Ryfia’s voice actor is perfect for her because her awkward dialect shows just how socially awkward she was deliberately designed to be.
Random exec 1: "Oh shit, the games almost finished and we forgot to hire anime voice actors like you're supposed to do for these things!" Random exec 2: "It's too late to call Yuri Lowenthall...hold on I have an idea!" *returns in an hour* "I found these people hanging around outside the building, they said we can use them!"
Cool fact I dug up while seaching For the voice actors in this game. L'Arc's English voice actor also voiced a character in Pokken tournument. Quite interesting to say the least
My word. Between this game, Chaos Wars, and Trouble Witches Neo, I have endless laughs through gameplay. Though honestly, I think Arc Rise Fantasia is the best of the 3 evils. Resident Evil and R.A.D are always good for a laugh as well. XD
The voice acting is hilarious. My favorite is L'arc and his "killing you dead" one lol. VA's aside, this game is absolutely fantastic, gameplay AND story-wise. No matter how much the voice's are bashed and made fun of, the fact is this game is so great that it even deters these silly voices. ;p
This is completely true. Although the voice acting starts to become bearable as you play through for the most part. And there were some decent voices in the lot as well. The game itself, though, is really enjoyable, and there's a lot to do in it. If people can ignore the bad voice acting, they'd find a good game beneath all that.
@Bushiey Agreed. The Japanese voice acting is actually very well done, as it uses well known Japanese voice actors who have previously worked in popular anime (including Clannad, Gundam, Macross, etc.), whereas the English version uses completely unknown voice actors with no previous voice-acting experience (probably to save costs).
I don't like to express myself how I feel about things but this game man,this game... Even with the a bad voice acting (That I realized until I watched this xD) was the game that introduce me on the JRPG genre and even helped me to improve my english by a lot! It only brings me good memories and I remember all the hours I expended on %100 the game Oh boy, I played this game every single day when I was younger and I miss it I miss the old days :')
"Oh no!They have broken through the seal, and that horde of skeletons will probably rip me and Alf to shreds and literally bone Ryfia to death, and I'm so overcome with fear as you can tell from my perfectly monotone voice!"
@HouseTalents No dual voice in this game oddly enough. There are tons of other Wii games that have dual language these days... Even Sonic Colours and Samurai Warriors 3
Only the PAL version has that option I think. The NTSC or "American" version doesn't But you can mute voices altogether and play with just silent subtitles if you want.
"The devil must be beating his wife" O.o Honestly wasn't expecting that.
mechanoid2k That's actually a real American idiom
Either way I fucking died when I heard it XD
It's the phrase for when it's both sunny and raining.
Yep, that phrase from a man gets me all the time.
It’s a real thing In the south
To be fair, I'm not sure how someone could say a line like "Aagh! Help me! I don't diiie! Help me, Mr. L'Arc!" in a way that could be taken seriously.
I swear Jerry Seinfeld voiced that character
@@thedrydown4329 Holy shit I see the similarity now.
Nico: "...Help me: I don't diiie..."
Mr. L'Arc: "For the f**k sake your immortal, now you quit bitchin around and help your f**king self."
Well, they could make it sound like when Spiderman dust scene. I don't feel so good line is a meme but everyone shed a tear for first time
Japanese voice actors: *aM I JoKE tO yOU*
Actually, “the devil must be beating his wife” is actually a really old and outdated phrase for when it’s sunny and raining at the same time. It’s really obscure and doesn’t make up for the voice acting though, lol.
I dont understand
@@Darklustmoonchild Meaning the phrase is very outdated and would not fit with the voice acting.
@@filip6994 what is the meaning of the original saying though? it doesn't make sense to me
Ive heard a newer ish version which says a witch is getting married
@@danielstar8517 but why would his wife be in heaven?
I watch that one horrible voice acting vid from 2010 and now youtube is recommending this to me
Sania Mirza Exactly what happened to me lmao.
Sania Mirza SAME
Same
ikr!!!!
SAME
I heard the undubbed version, it made this game a serious one. But the dubbed version made this game like a comedy jrpg :D
Well duh.Running on a budget does that sometimes
It is called english dub. But don't take it personally, any other language but japanese would look like this or worse.
GAHHHHHH!
i was like "this isnt so bad" until i heard that lol
bugs Yeah same here XD
gaaaaaaaaAa
More like gahhhhhhhh
I was reading this at the same time of the video lol
1:43
This part here has killed me.
*_YES PLEASE_*

Aargh i don't wanna diiiie
Help me mr.l'arc
You sould... Pretty blasé. You sure you're in mortal peril?
Help me Mr. Stark!
MunkeyBeans1082 I don’t wanna go :’(
I just came from a Chaos Wars video so this seems... Mostly fine
Chaos Wars makes anything sound like the best dub in existence.
@@LizzieShiroUp to and including Chaos Wars itself.
Same story for me, but seven years later.
From the same team that brought you the Bible Black dub.
CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN
+williamthebrit Nah, see, that had character. And Dan Green. They clearly don't even give a fuck for whatever the hell this is.
+The Wizzzard
uhhhhhhhhhhh that was Temptation, not Bible Black.
from the same team that did the voices of games like Resident Evil,Castlevania Symphony of The Night and Megaman X7.No joke.
Thats not an information i expected lol xD
Bad voice acting is the greatest gift a man could offer in life
HELP ME MR.LARC.
"You're hurt! Let me heal you with MAGIC!"
"Yes, please."
It's like the characters are screaming: "WTFunimation?!"
This has gotta be one of those times you leave the English VA on, it's, not bad average, it's bad hilarious. If you turn it off, you'll be missing all the funnies

Heeeere's the solution chum: nicoblog.org/wii-iso/arc-rise-fantasia-undubbed-edition-usa/
Wow, the voice acting in Persona 3 and 4 is NOTHING in comparison to this, you can tell how much effort and soul they put into this dub, get on Arc Rise Fantasia's level Atlus.
Persona 3 is just as bad lol, mostly porn voice actors in it. You can't say you don't want to strangle Yukari when she opens her mouth.
+Kanny Boy I'm afraid that's all on you, lmao.
Kanny Boy Junpei voice actor voiced so many characters. He's a legend and same for Mitsuru's voice actress. Fuuka and Aegis' voices are so annoying though.
Yukari is fine. The hell you talking about?
Most Atlus games I can think of has star power, hence why Persona, Catherine, Odin Sphere and others have solid voice acting.
Screw acting classes. I can learn everything about good acting right here!
0:57 perfect audition for Rafiki from The Lion King
Clerk: Do you want mayo with that?
Me: 1:48
"Strange...it's sunny, but it's raining."
"Ah. The devil must be beating his wife."
Yeah. Sure. And when there's a thunder storm, it means God is eating a ham sandwich. What the hell is this game?
Apparently, that's something they say in southern USA.
but yeah, that shit doesn't make any sense
Yeah i actually heard that before if its sunny but raining its because the devil is beating his wife.., (? )
Whoever comes up with that is weird
It's japan dude, 2 nukes were not enough
@@garomastervideos yeah, they didn't add on the last part. The devil must be beating his wife because she burned the cornbread. It's wild. I'm guessing the rain is supposed to be her tears.
Just ordered this game on Amazon. I regret nothing.
I almost died laughing at the GAAAAAAGH LMAO
1:56 "aagh! Hwelp me! I dowanto DAAAAAI!"
Hewwo, Mistew Obawma?
Aw woo dere?
Arc Rise Fantasia is one of my favorite games.
"Yeas Pleeesee"

Lol
What's the deeeal with this voice acting?
Omg lol
Kramer! I'm dying help me!
Damn, Nicole's Pefume de Zigitaris is getting to everyone.
I WATCHED THAT VID LMAOOOO
Me: This isn’t that bad...
GAAAAHHHHHHH
Also me: Never mind.
This VA work reminds me of Way of the Samurai 2.
Makes sense considering this was one of those "dubbed in Japan by local native English speakers" dubs.
The first guy was honestly fine when compared to stuff later in the video.
2013 and this is still gold to me.
As a man who grew up on anime from the 80's to 90's, this game's dubs are NOTHING compared to what I've made myself sit through.
how is "devil must be beating his wife" considered "sexual innuendo"?
Who? Beating his what?
Noel Vermillion LOL
The Legendary Super Saiyan Troly because there is a term beating your meat as in masturbation
The Legendary Super Saiyan Troly The Devil's wife is into that obviously
It’s actually a real saying in some places in the us
1:54 Jerry Seinfeld
I believe the “devil is beating his wife.” Is referring to Persephone and Hades having a domestic.
One of my favorite jrpgs of last gen. The voice acting is only really bad for Ryfia, L'arc is a little bland but tolerable and I find Niko kind of endearing. Some of the voice acting is actually pretty good, like Rastan, it's just kind of a mixed bag. I strongly recommend anyone trying it, it has a good story, good music, and a very addictive battle system.
I think Serge and Weiss had the best voice actors honestly.
“Yes please.”
Jeremy Hervieux I strongly disagree. Ryfia’s voice actor is perfect for her because her awkward dialect shows just how socially awkward she was deliberately designed to be.
I never did finish playing this ... I wonder if should restart~
1:54 wtf actually sounds like Seinfield in Bee movie
0:45-...To be fair, I would be way too stunned at that phrase to be able to emote anything, too. WHO SAYS THAT!? XD
0:14 Didn't know Mordecai the simp was voicing in an anime game. XD
Random exec 1: "Oh shit, the games almost finished and we forgot to hire anime voice actors like you're supposed to do for these things!"
Random exec 2: "It's too late to call Yuri Lowenthall...hold on I have an idea!"
*returns in an hour*
"I found these people hanging around outside the building, they said we can use them!"
If that's what they did, then this didn't actually turn out so bad lmao
Oh my goodness Yuri Lowenthal actually rocks
1:55 had me laughing my ass off. Now all we need is the full cast of Seinfeld doing vo work on a JRPG. Can you imagine the lols?
1:48 "Hey sweetie, you want some ice cream?"
Niko sounds like he's voiced by Nicolas Cage
...oh wait
Edit: holy heck I really commented this five years ago???
That would require trying to have an emotion.
I thought he sounded like Jerry Seinfeld
@@cheeseking2825 I think I commented that because of the similar name?
As in Niko-las Cage
😭
8 years😮
@SmashPadTV Thanks! The song is called Spanish Flea and as DeadlyMuffin said it was released for the Wii a few weeks ago.
For a second I thought that was related to Eureka Seven because of the chara designer
1:42
This one was the best.
Hmm idk.. 1:55 and 0:51 is MUCH worse lol.
Cool fact I dug up while seaching For the voice actors in this game.
L'Arc's English voice actor also voiced a character in Pokken tournument.
Quite interesting to say the least
My word. Between this game, Chaos Wars, and Trouble Witches Neo, I have endless laughs through gameplay. Though honestly, I think Arc Rise Fantasia is the best of the 3 evils.
Resident Evil and R.A.D are always good for a laugh as well. XD
The voice acting is hilarious. My favorite is L'arc and his "killing you dead" one lol. VA's aside, this game is absolutely fantastic, gameplay AND story-wise. No matter how much the voice's are bashed and made fun of, the fact is this game is so great that it even deters these silly voices. ;p
Damn, i used to watched my brother play this thing back then. The only thing i remember is the beating his wife line
this still doesnt beat Chaos Wars
Chaos Wars is the postmodern equivalent to Citizen Kane.
Kirby McKirby 😂😂😂
I pull this game out when I'm feeling sad, because laughing at other people's failures always brightens my day! : D
"Gaaghhh!!"
R.i.p Guy was punched Rediculously high into air.
2019-2019.
The funny part is the way the dialogue is written
the best part is that you need the voices on because this game does not fuck around
This is completely true. Although the voice acting starts to become bearable as you play through for the most part. And there were some decent voices in the lot as well. The game itself, though, is really enjoyable, and there's a lot to do in it. If people can ignore the bad voice acting, they'd find a good game beneath all that.
This video was way ahead of its time
Fortunately they nailed the VA on Baten Kaitos: Origins. That was nearly flawless.
@thapoint09 Oh Gods, you made me watch this again. My ears are close to falling off of my head.
I want to be just like them one day. I feel so enlightened.
someone should replace all the voices with microsoft sam.
It would sound better
*W H O ? B E A T I N G H I S W H A T ? !*
1:58 WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH BAD LOCALIZATIONS???
Whenever I play tf2 and I'm about to die, I'm yell out 1:56.
Damn, this game has nice portrait art
@Bushiey
Agreed. The Japanese voice acting is actually very well done, as it uses well known Japanese voice actors who have previously worked in popular anime (including Clannad, Gundam, Macross, etc.), whereas the English version uses completely unknown voice actors with no previous voice-acting experience (probably to save costs).
Asides from the voice actors, the person who wrote the script probably had a seizure while writing
1:48 L'arc acting like she just offered him a warm beer
@DarkWolfDeltas
Oh? Does Trouble Witches Neo also have plenty of hilarious voice acting? I'm going to have to check that out at some point. Thanks!
Finally, a Recommendation that worth watching
Honestly, I loved the voicing in this game.
If it wasnt for YT recomend me this i would know the existence of this "Game"
I don't like to express myself how I feel about things but this game man,this game...
Even with the a bad voice acting (That I realized until I watched this xD) was the game that introduce me on the JRPG genre and even helped me to improve my english by a lot!
It only brings me good memories and I remember all the hours I expended on %100 the game
Oh boy, I played this game every single day when I was younger and I miss it
I miss the old days :')
Im happy that you did enjoy despite the awful english dub
Is kinda hard when a videogame becomes your favorite soo enjoy the much as you can!
I love how I can make out the cast of Grafitti Kingdom with some of these characters
Back when localization was pretty rough.
Arc, while bleeding copiously from every orifice: *y e s p l e a s e*
"Who? Beating his what!?"
When she learned about masturbation...
My favorite line was from the beginning. "Look out you two...."
Baby, this aint even the worst of it by a long shot.
Honestly the character models don't look too bad. I'd say they're kingdom hearts quality.
The game itself is pretty good too!
@@Gravistry Seeing as my wii's been softmodded since the early 2010's I'd definitely give the game a try then
A shame because the game was super good.
It deserved better
Did anyone ever played Chaos Wars? This is indeed master-level voice acting after.... that!
Imagine if this game came out today "the devil must be beating his wife" [TRIGGERED]
Did you just assume the Devil's gender?
Goldman: Farewell, friends....
0:57 He got hit so hard his brain failed to process any emotions
"Oh no!They have broken through the seal, and that horde of skeletons will probably rip me and Alf to shreds and literally bone Ryfia to death, and I'm so overcome with fear as you can tell from my perfectly monotone voice!"
@HouseTalents There is a patch you can apply to the game iso to make it run with japanese voices, but you need to mod your wii.
This is why Undubs exist.
As bad as Niko's VA is, it does seem to fit his character.
#3 made me scream in pain. It sounded better than the actual voice actor.
I was scowling, then I lost it at "Yes Please."
“Yes please 😄” meanwhile bleeding to death lol
And UTV Ignition turned out to be the Indian office of DISNEY
I can't believe that this game was never released in PAL regions...
"Lemmuheel you with magic!"
Uhh.
@HouseTalents No dual voice in this game oddly enough. There are tons of other Wii games that have dual language these days... Even Sonic Colours and Samurai Warriors 3
Number 2 is just WHAT. WHAT?
0:59 ...what was that? I mean... what WAS that?
Now I want to play this game just so i can laugh at the dub.
Me too:D
The game is apparently pretty great.
''Yes please'' xDDDD
Only the PAL version has that option I think. The NTSC or "American" version doesn't But you can mute voices altogether and play with just silent subtitles if you want.
