Genshin Impact, a beloved game in the gaming community, recently sparked a vibrant discussion acknowledging the talent of its English voice actors. Originating from Driannos’ post, it was certainly buzzing with positivity. He praised the work of the English voice actors who, according to him, elevated their performances to such a level that the characters felt alive adding a whole other dimension to the game.
The Lingual Lens
- Driannos praised the English voice over, particularly noting that the performances were so immersive he felt more invested in the story.
- Many players shared their preference for the English voice actors thanks to their emotional delivery that far exceeded expectations.
- Some players expressed an appreciation for the different language voice over options, yet leaned towards the English version for its emotional depth and relatability.
Mid-Game Ovations
There were quite a few comments that jumped on the praise wagon as well, voicing their preference towards the English version of the game. Staryshine noted how the ‘EN cast’s dramatic performance’ was ideally suited to the theatrical, musical-like nature of the Fountaine arc. Crusherbolt0282 expressed hope for the comedic element, wishing for more roles for a particular voice actor.
‘Real’ Performances
XogoWasTaken made a special mention of Wriothesly’s voice actor for his delivery, calling his performance during the climax of the Meropide arc ‘utterly perfect.’
All in the Voice
In defence of all voice over options, Chengelao reminds us how perspectives on which language voice over is ‘best’ are ultimately subjective to the player, and praises all versions for ‘knocking it out of the park.’
To cap it all, the Genshin Impact community’s bond seems to extend beyond appreciation for the game itself. Viciator-Liandry9921 cited instances where English VAs participate in group gaming sessions, creating a cohesive and engaging platform for inside jokes, fun, and ultimately, building a stronger player community.
