i just got wuwa too and im too lazy to change my language so i just play with the sound off lol.. why are the english voices so unlistenable??? especially yangyang?????
oh i wasn’t complaining about the eng voice acting actually, but about the game defaulting to the german translation jshsh
that being said, i did switch to the jp voice acting while changing the text settings, just bc i play genshin and honkai in japanese too and i want to try that first; though i didn’t notice anything too wrong with eng (i also didn’t pay too much attention though so i‘ll have to switch back and compare if i keep playing it)
also it’s important to not direct any dislike of a game’s voice acting at the actors directly, we never know what kind of directions they got
Ok quick head canon of genshin impact, specifically of Aether as the traveller
I think that Paimon speaks more than him because he is not that confident about his knowledge of Teyvat's language. Like I like how the voice line "About Language" in the travelers voice lines, Paimon tells the traveler that they learn really fast (probably because they hop from world to world) and how Paimon is really impressed! And then the remark that she is a good teacher
But like, even like that, traveler like never talks unless they have too in story, like even there is a voice line of Sucrose I think that she says "U don't really talk much"
So I think that Aether just stays quiet because he is nervous to fuck it up with a pronunciation that makes him says something completely different
Bonus points if it's because of other travels where with Lumine he just started learning the languages and continuously had the experience of fucking up and saying embarrassing things, like, he meaning to say "Oh I had such a hard fight the other day, and my muscles hurt because of it" instead says "Oh I had such a hard night the other day, and my ass hurts because of it" and people just start laughing and he is just standing there confused until one of them tells him what he really said, Lumine laughing and teasing him the rest of the travel
Now because Lumine it's not here he just doesn't even want to have that happen because he's already so stressed out he ain't risking it so Paimon takes over when he can't
It's really cute too how Paimon always tries to take care of Aether like mother fucker it's so cute how both take care of each other like a father-daughter type relationship specially with Aether just putting himself on the line for Paimon aaaaa
im honestly convinced that the people over at the genshin eng voiceover recording studio just give out instructions to "make your voice as annoying and stiff and grating as possible" to the vas
Alright, I knew Max Mittelman could sing, but not like that! 👀 I wonder if he’s ever done or considered doing musical theatre before. He’d be good in Phantom of the Opera for sure!
The singing perfomance of Paimon and Itto was so good. Itto sounded so hot while Paimon sounded so cute ! They are almost like siblings to me. Their singing together bringed tears to my eyes
