Seriously, this takes voice acting on an import game to new heights of awfulness! How did it end up so bad? The CEO of the company let his four kids be the voice actors! *shudder*

I can do better voice acting with my ass. These kids suck…
They are seriously putting this into a game? That’s terrible.
I can’t help but wonder if the kids were beaten before or after recording.
They all have that Lisp.
Why do you need Voice Acting for a game with Subtitles anyway?
Voice acting seems kind of pointless in these kinds of scenes. Hell, depicting action seems really pointless in these kinds of scenes. It’s just dialogue, not a book.
Still, it was kind of hilarious.
I know that good voice actors are expensive, but if you’re going to put however many much into game development you don’t need to cut corners like this. I think if you instead rounded up a dozen homeless people they could have done a much better job. Maybe they’ll keep that as an option for the sequel.
if i ever became ballless enough to try this game, at this conversation i would be forced to quit. forever. seriously. what the fuck.
Jesus Christ forget the voice acting… Did anyone notice the guy is named Nicole?
It sounds like every crappy newgrounds flash.
You know the ones, where instead of usin good equipment they just yell into the mic
ROFL, Karen sounds dead
Oh, dear God in heaven! (Firefly reference.) I can’t decide who I hate more, Karen or Uru.
But really, who let that happen? Even if the CEO decides his kids are the next great voices in gaming, don’t OTHER people still have the option of, say, throwing him/his wretched spawn out of a high window? Or his intestines throttling him from the inside in a desperate bid to save us all?
Oh.. God.. Uru and Karen can both die in the lowest pits of hell.
Dear lord, I can’t un-hear it!
And this is coming from someone who isn’t bothered by “You’re too slow!”
I was watching this and waiting for voices,
then i relised the sound was off…
I WISH IT STAYED OFF! >=(
This qualifies as a Parenting Fail.
The guy voicing Nicole is actually not bad, but Karen sounds like a drunk whore they pulled off the corner, and Uru sounds…well, Uru sounds like a penis-loving homosexual they borrowed from an anime con, wearing fishnets and a dog collar.
…So many innuendos…and they were ruined by the crap spewing out of the actors mouths…though, I can’t help but wonder if this is all just a well-planned-out farce…perhaps the guy who made this video wanted it to go this way…ow, my brain just leaked onto the floor…
“JUMP!” -Ten Seconds Later- *Splat* Seriously, pure genius.
I died a little inside, then Cero brought me back. Thank you Cero
That is funny, i just imagined that the green haired girl had just said “What you say!!!” instead.
lol me and my sister couldnt stop laughing when that guy went ‘YEYAH!’
Implied rape in there’z?
if you took out kill and replaced it with a 5 letter word it would be a horribly voice acted porno.
Wow, this video can be sent into the deep flaming pit of shit where they threw the intros to Zelda CD-i and Zero Wing…
Just imagine all of those games talking to eachother…. “Someone has set up us the bomb!” “I totally didn’t see that coming” “MAH BOI”
Y’know, with that epic battle music playing in the background, I get the feeling that taking the Tengaio away is slightly more important than the voice actor is letting on.
YOU CAN’T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT! YOU COULD RU-IN YOUR REP-U-TAY-TION!
Ruining a game by having your kids do the voice?
FAILURE ENSUES
LOW SALES ENSUE
Lulz Uru sounds really gay
AAAAAGGGHHHH! Why there voices have become my inner thoughts!! *falls to the ground in agony*

Lol that part made me crack up too. This was sooooo bad… 5/5 stars for the epic parenting fail.
Is this some sort of sick joke? I can’t imagine voice acting being THAT bad in a game….
The Uru guy has a lithp. Its kinda funny. I didnt even watch this all the way though, my ears were trying to run away.
oh. oh god! why?!?!
That was fscking awful. And I thought Baten Kaitos was bad…
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
The writing was horrible, and the voice acting was suicide.
This belongs in the deepest circle of Gaming Hell, the one reserved for badly executed imports.
I think……nope, they did. My eardrums exploded from the epic fail.
uru sounds like a gay emo kid, seriously
That voice acting is BAD. Seriously, it’s even worse than Starfox Assault.
My ears are bleeding. Truly this is the anti-christ of voice acting.
ahahhaahahhahahaha
Oh gods! I couldn’t stand more than minute of that before i stopped it. But the voices, THE VOICES WON’T STOP!!!
YOU DARE BRING POOR VOICE-ACTING TO MY LAIR!? YOU MUST DIE!!!!!
Wow, I REALLY can’t move my body.
^
What did you do, Nicole?
There is only one way out, Persona style *puts gun to head*
KILL ME!
Are you SERIOUS? That voice acting is REAL?!
…Wow. Just wow. Five stars, though because it was funny. XD
… WHAT!?!
This is a crime!!
I LIKED Shadow Hearts!!
Not only did they translate the names wrong, they didn’t get Joey Capps to voice Yuri (His actual name)!!
ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
I’m so enraged!!!
How could they? How COULD they?
i just liked that one guy that yelled YEAH!
Shizuku sound really weird with her character. o_o
She’s like some american teen voice actor, and she’s voicing some innocent looking person. And Hyoma looks like:
(A) A girl with a mans voice.
(B) A man with a girly face.
=P
My brain hurts bad, I mean really bad… *fade to black*
the man named nicole(?) wasnt too bad on the voice acting.
Damn, I thought Slippy was annoying. I couldn’t even finish the video.
Yeah, okay, the voices are bad but even Robert DeNiro could not pull off that dialogue. C’mon, the writers screwed that over before the readers even got involved.
Ha, wait till you see the voiceovers in “summon nights” :P
Uru says: “FABULOUS”
I was seriously expecting him to say something like that >.>
I do sense child abuse before the voice recordings, though …
Yeah, Nicole isn’t too bad, but the script is pretty awful. And after, 2:40, I feel like it improves, but the last line just… well, not kills it, but smacks it in the face with a solid steel bar.
man, forget the voice acting! (because i know i will!) just the dialogue alone was terrible! i mean,
“Wow! I really can’t move my body?”
“I really don’t want your twisted love. I really don’t.”
WTF!? What The Face!?
“I know you guys are having fun *weird noise* but could you stop a sec and tell me why I’m involved in this?”
I get the feeling this wasn’t really on the script, but they rolled with it.
1:09 -> my question exactly
“Whaaat?! I didn’t see that coming at all!”
I got the biggest laugh there, but the whole thing was lolerful.
are all japs gay?
I think a little part of my soul just died..
That…sounds worse than some of the kids that acted in my theater class…
Dragon Slayer> The voice actors in this were American, not Japanese. Sounds like, by your logic, you should be questioning your own sexuality.
YEA-YUH!
Even I can voice act beter than this
pedobear approves
I remembered from that new Speed Racer show, “Preeeess the green button!”
Why does Uru have a huge Lisp?
Oh…oh god. OH GOD. OH GOD OH GOD.
WHAT. THE. FUCK. WAS. THAT.
SOMEONE KILL ME.
OH GOD.
(caps lock ftw)
Uru is gay, Nicole is a guy, he’s also gay, and has some sort of a Tengaio fetish, Karen sounds mentally retarded, Shizuku sounds like a stupid teenage girl, and Hyoma sounds like a man. That company’s CEO fails.
was this shadow hearts? cos uru looked like yuri…
does anyone know what game this is?
OH GOD PUNCTUATION MEANS NOTHING TO THEM IT BURNS!
