I found this video on Youtube, and has anyone played this game?  The voice acting is just so horrendously bad that I can't believe it really sounds this poor. If anyone has played it, does it really sound this way?

"Nicole" seemed like the only person who cares about keeping his voice in-character, and even he sucks...

Karen sounds bored, or heavily sedated, and I'm not sure what to make of Shizuku.

EDIT: Apparently, the CEO of the company that localized this was so cheap, he made family members record the voices, instead of hiring voice actors.

As for the game the OP's talking about:


Why oh why did they bother with voice acting at all? No one who plays it will want to listen to an english dub regardless of how good it is. Wasted those poor family member's time.

They apparently left the in-battle voices as japanese. Why not the cutscenes? :|

That's not bad voice acting. It's a bad pun.

This is a lie; Those are characters from Shadow Hearts...
No way those are the real voices. Yuri/Uru is much cooler sounding than that and his voice actor is actually good.

"The game was heavily criticized for its poor English dubbing, due to O3's CEO Chris Jelinek getting family members to do the voiceovers instead of hiring professional voice actors."

#18 caught me off guard.

Guy 1: "I guess this means we won't be using the elevator"

Guy 2: "Maybe not. Tom left a message. He wrote it in his own blood."

Guy 1: "In his blood!? Way to go kid!"

Oddly enough... as far as I can tell, that voice itself Belongs to the Wizard character of Zhang Jiao, who normally does a good job of his voice actor in DW3, the Only Dynasty Warriors character that has pronounced Tao correctly, I can't recall that line though, and I played that game to death way back in the day.

sadness can be turned to delight.
A nation destroyed cannot be restored,
the dead brought back to life."
