Why I like undubs

[roundtree]

I always kind of passed over undubs until I tried one recently that just changed my mind. I tried the old skies of Arcadia undub circa 2021. What sold me was the voices in the fight scenes. The battle cries sound so much better in Japanese. I think also a lot of times in the games that the Japanese voice actors are more talented than the English voice actors. To me they sound better and more convincing. And I only know a few words of Japanese myself. I just wanna know what other people think about undubs and why you prefer them or not.

Unless the English voices are terrible I don't really care that much. Sometimes I download undubs just because the file sizes are smaller. In a few cases I actually think the English dubs are better than the original. Mischief Makers for example is pretty annoying in English but the undub is even more annoying. The constant 'shake shake' is bad enough but the Japanese one's high pitched and aggravating.

UNDUBS FOREVER

In some cases, Undubs are critical. When the English delivery lacks passion and quality, for example, or when voices keep changing between installments. All in all, though, I prefer playing games without voices at all, if given the choice.

I don't remember a single time when english voices were better than the original.

If the game was made by its preferred place then i use the intended dub.
Like Stellar Blade, i set the language to Korean.
Even games like MGS i play in Japanese, although the English dubbing is great. Same with God Hand and Viewtiful Joe
