And that's why they call her the Ice Queen. (Sorry couldn't resist)

Awesome, now I shall be able to tolerate playing the game with them in it~ Weiss sounds fine in English but I don't understand how Ruby's VA is still employed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EajgCbXB2CU Watching/listening to her fight is like nails on a chalkboard. |

You make it sound as if whether a voice actor can get "fired" from something depends entirely on your personal tastes in voices as oppose to said voice actor doing good work and being good to work with and establishing connections and networking as a result. And yes people, I know Lindsay Jones isn't technically a professional voice actress! I'm just making a case in response to this supposed notion of how creative freelance gigs work. |

I mean that video is of a demo, it's not the final mix and there's two Ruby's on screen at the same time so I it's not really an accurate depiction of the characters voice. |

Why, exactly, is RWBY so damn popular?

Gotta say, Weiss looks to have a lot of potential to be a unique character gameplay-wise.

To be fair to Lindsay Jones, Ruby's english voice actor, she's not a professional voice actor like Vic Mignogna and Jen Taylor who both had training to do voice acting. Furthermore, she voiced her lines for the game not too long after she gave birth to her daughter, which may have affected her performance.

Colleen Clinkenbeard did the same thing, albeit she is a professional VA. You can't really hear a difference with her. The reason why Lindsay Jones is Ruby's VA was because when RWBY started it was an incredibly low-budget thing meant to keep Monty Oum happy while he did other things at Rooster Teeth. Rooster Teeth basically had to find whatever female employees they had to get behind the mic and portray Monty's many female characters, and Lindsay was the choice to play Ruby. No one at RT including Monty expected RWBY to explode like it has. Rooster Teeth started bringing in professional VAs for the new characters since season 3, which accelerated in season 4 with them commissioning a Dallas-based recording studio for all new castings from this point onward. However, Lindsay and company have been voicing their characters for too long, to change them at this point unless it was an amicable departure would be incredibly rude. The closest we've gotten to the Austin VAs being replaced is that their characters as children are being portrayed by pro VAs instead of by the Austin crew, and I suspect that's how it will stay. That being said, Lindsay has the least amount of acting talent of the four VAs playing team RWBY and her voice, which gives the impression of a forced soprano, is about as pleasing to listen to as Bella Hudson's Luffy. Again, though, she's been Ruby for too long, they're not going to replace her at all unless Lindsay opts to stop portraying the character, which I don't think is going to happen either. |

Jesus, I'm surprised by the hate-storm directed at Lindsey Jones. She lacks formal voice acting training, absolutely, but she was hardly chosen simply because she worked at RT at the time of RWBY's creation and was female. Monty Oum specifically chose her for the part; (working on Red vs. Blue, he did in fact have access to other female VAs he could have approached instead).
I'm excited for the game and am glad RWBY gets to reach new audiences in this way. |

As expected. Hazamama joins the fray. Hope Es will be in it soon.
