honestly the basic way I can say it about Vesperia's dub is that like... it doesn't sound that bad when it's all you know for context, but then when you just hear it in the original context (not even also having the original context, but hearing it), you realize just how much tone they changed.
it all makes sense in the dub because of the context they changed to make the tone fit with it, but when you hear the original tone, suddenly the dub context starts losing its foundation. basically the only way, in some cases, the vocal tones work in the dub is because they changed the context itself, and changing context/meaning/the message of what's being said is just a HUGE no-no for me.
I've probably mentioned this before but most of the contextual changing happened with Yuri. in a lot of cases for me like with Raven and Karol I much prefer the original delivery and that's a preference, and in some cases there were little to no changes (primarily the first and second visit to Dahngrest were mostly the same). a lot of them just center around Yuri and given that he's my baby boy, I'm just naturally set off by it lol.
#GTF Vesperia Localization Woes#mainly posting this in response to some followers' interest#but it's like. I can't even go back now. and I'm really sad that they did this bc#obviously that's what ppl in the west will play. it's only reasonable that they'd want to play dubbed#so when a dub deliberately changes stuff it just comes off as malicious to me#especially in the case of Yuri and Flynn where they make Yuri so randomly angry at him for NO reason#when they met at Nor Yuri was just... super casual and relaxed. he wasn't even angry#for some reason the dub went from having him talk constantly about Flynn to just ??? being so angry?#like the idea is that they start at 100 and wane and get back to 100#but the dub was like... zero to a hundred. angry and then Hypionia happens#and I think BECAUSE of the way they changed the context it makes sense#and I know I said I'm working on my post(s) about the JP run but let me TELL you#I am making the Nordopolica port scene ITS OWN POST bc that was to me the worst case of context editing#it was framed as Yuri being aggressive and angry and not utterly heartbroken with a shaking voice#and honestly? I think that was what truly cemented me hating what the loc did with Yuri
