The conversation about Tear last post got me curious! Are there any other characters that you liked in one language but found uninteresting in another?

I actually liked Tear a lot better in the English dub of the game, since I don't really care for the tsundere archetype that much (and I feel like Jade was a more interesting take on it anyway). I feel like the grumpy awkwardness her English voice actress gave her is a better fit for her age and motivations.

I played Graces in Japanese and found Pascal kind of annoying. Then I played F in English and completely fell in love with her. Her actress completely stole the show.

Pascal in the english version is incredible. Very fun to listen to and definitely full of character! Haven't heard the japanese version so I can't judge.

As someone who imported the Wii version when it first came out, I was dreading the English release for this reason.

Needless to say, that's the most pleasantly surprised I've ever been by Bamco.

Agria. Maybe it's just that Kate Higgins is awesome? I love Maaya Sakamoto in everything else but she just sounded a little grumpy and it didn't really mesh with her outrageous behavior.

Otherwise I tend to like the Tales dubs about equal with the originals, though again, as much as I love Sakurai, I felt like Bryce Papenbrook's higher pitched voice was better for Asbel.

Agreed, I prefer English Asbel to Japanese Asbel. He sounds more like an 18-year-old kid than Sakurai does, as much as I love him.

Ironically, that's also why I prefer Richard's voice in Japanese - because he sounds younger and gentler. I think it fits his personality better.

David Vincent is a really cool dude IRL though. Eh VAs a bunch of blond obsessive fabulous bastards and ain't afraid of anything. This anon is biased because he signed my copy of Graces

Oh, I've met him too! He's an awesome and hilarious guy and I'm really glad he was the choice for Richard's English VA. I like them both for different reasons, but overall I just prefer Namikawa Daisuke's version. (I totally admit to having a NamiDai bias, though. I knew I was going to like Richard from the moment I saw who was voicing him.)

I can dig that

I admit I like english Jade because I can't unhear Kururu with his Seiryuu, not to mention The English VA hits it out of the park.

Makes me wish there was voice-acting for the skits.

Okay
