The Japanese cast for 12 was mainly a mix of veterans and high profile seiyuu (except for few). I have tried both, the English voice acting was admirably good, but there is no way it can be compared with the superior performance of the Japanese cast (at least for me). After all, as it was mentioned in the other comments, it is a matter of opinions and preferences. Expressing your opinion is always welcomed, but imposing it is the stupidity by itself.
P.S. Some of the Japanese cast (For those who are familiar with Seiyuu profiles): Akio Otsuka Chikao Otsuka Norio Wakamoto Hiroaki HIRATA Rikiya Koyama Rica FUKAMI Mie SONOZAKI |

You just think the Japanese is better for the sake of it being Japanese. The fact that you have to cite how the voice actors are famous and well known is enough to prove that. Even if the voice actors were well known in in the English dub, that wouldn't be the first thing or the reason at all to praise the dub. The Japanese track is of course good , but the English script combined with terrific voice acting that fits the world and setting of the game makes for a far better version.
And no, there are things that are just objectively good. The English localization of FFXII is one of those things. |

When Tom Hanks or Maryl streep would be listed in a movie, we can make sure it is not going to be the type of Van Damme movies. And yes 99% most of the time, the Japanese Voice acting is considered superior within the Japanese media industry. It is a well known profession and they put too much efforts for it, and this is a fact. A good example is Valkyrie Profile, It is like comparing a masterpiece with a trash. and please do not act like you are the only smart guy here on the table. If you are intentionally trying to ignore that because you do not want to accept other people's language, then please blame your ignorance. |

But no Japanese version like in XIII-3??? That is just unacceptable in this day and age.

Either way fine though I don't think everything Japan does is some glorias thing, I never said that the Japanese voice acting is'nt usually better. What I said is in this one example, maybe the only one, that FFXII is better in English. The script is better. The voice acting is better and for more appropriate. All you can say is "oh it has these people". I get it, Japan is always better.

Blame you ignorance
You brought it first on the table through your comments not me
it is a perfect example for a trash VS a masterpiece (i.e. Professionals VS Dumbs )
FFXII is a mix between old Europe and mediterranean culture, so if we want to follow your -stupid- argument we should bring people from Greece or Turkey to do the voice acting in order to match that environment. (not a fake American voice actors).
again, IGNORANCE I said at the beginning that I went through both version, so my judgment was not on one side but it seems you will not be happy until I would say this: Fine, your fake English dub version of FFXII is much better than the authenticated professional Japanese voice acting, which was actually picked by the Japanese director himself during the game creation. I hope this would make you happy now P.S. "Dub -in any language- is faking to make the product more appealing" |

The English dub of VP comes from such a different time. Compare it to at least something modern where English VA has actually gotten good. You're choosing an easy target and using that to make a point especially when what you're choosing has no actual relevancy. At least chose a bad modern dub like SO4. Though even in Japanese the script is awful it's just the Japanese goes with the anime mood that game is going for. But either way, what is your point. Other then trying to prove you're "Only Japanese things are good bias" you seem to not understand that I never said Japanese voice acting was bad anywhere. I just found you're reasoning to be pretty bad, because it really just came off as "thier famous and it's Japanese so it's better". That is not an absolute thing.
Alexander O. Smith the translator and dub producer and a guy Matsuno must really like and trust also really focused on getting quality voice actors, those who had theater experience and what not. But I get it. It's not in Japanese so it's worse right? |

I'm sorry I hate to break it to you, but you are only one being ignorant here. Which you still haven't explained how I'm bring ignorant, though going from this I guess it's because I don't see that Japanese voice acting is 100% always better? Really English voice actors can't professionally dub Japanese media. Ok buddy whatever. |

I do apologize but this the ugly truth, please do not get disappointed.
The good news is ignorance is not disease after all, you can resolve it easily by respecting others and accepting their opinion and culture. I am sure after teaching yourself more you will be cured. Last edited by rpgamer79 on Fri Feb 21, 2014 2:51 am; edited 1 time in total |

All right guys, let's take it outside.
Seriously though, I never get tired of people claiming something is objectively good. It totally never gets old.

Says I'm wrong for trying to sate that something is factually good. Then basically days something similar. Hilarious. Disappointed at what? I know that English dubs can be good and at times better then the Japanese. Sorry, that's the truth.
