I prefer listening to the original VAs rin
:D

Like if it's a JRPG= japanese track w/ english subs tapos if it was originally released in English then English lang talaga.
:agree:

It's also fun to try and figure out the dialogue/on-screen text if you're playing a jrpg. Dream ko kasi mag-aral ng Japanese e, haha~
:bigmouth:

Personal preference ko lang naman yan :ashamed:

For me if japanese game and may available na japanese audio and english subtitles yun nalang sana since pag english dub parang yung sa "Hero Channel" masyado trying hard yung mga tao to act like the ones sa japanese so wag nalang sana :sweat:

Same rin pag japanese games catering western taste by adding one american guy just hire nalang sana an english actor for the role para mas authentic :sweat:

Sa video games, ok lang sa akin ang japanese voice + english subs kung every line pipindot ka ng x or o para mag move sa next line.

Pero kung continuous, naiiwanan ako ng subs tsaka hindi ko na mashado nakikita yung nangyayari kasi sa lower part ng screen ako nakatingin.

para sakin kapag naglalaro ako ng mga japanese games na katulad ng Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 naka Japanese dub ako with English subtitle.

pero pagdating sa mga English dub, Valkyria Chronicles kasi gusto ko yung boses ni Welkin and Alicia doon astig :agree: (sayang wala akong psp para sa sequel nun :facepalm: )

ngunit mas nangingibabaw parin ang mga games na nalalaro ko na may Japanese Dub as long as may English Subtitle kasi kung hindi then ill just get the english version of that game or ill just watch some walkthroughs with commentary

Depende sa theme nung game....

Kung mukhang mas bagay ba ang Japanese voice sa look at feel ng characters then japanese voiceovers ang gagamitin ko. Ayoko kasi minsan ng Japanese voice tapos western ang look ng character.

Depende sa game or anime. (e.g. FF13, English. Valkyria Chronicles, Japanese. Cowboy Bebop, English)

May iba naman, hit or miss yung voice acting. Sa ibang characters, ayos ang boses sa English, then yung iba miscast for the role, nagiging cheesy? (e.g. Star Ocean 4)

English, kaso kapag hindi ko gusto yung English names ng mga characters, hinahanap ko pa rin yung original version. Tulad ng One Piece, hindi ko gusto yung English names ng ibang characters at locations. :bigmouth:

kapag sa games, english ang gusto ko mas convenient kase nilalaro mo eh. ayoko ng japanese version.

kapag anime,movies o kahit na ano pa mas gusto ko yung original language nung movie kung di man sya english then may subtitle na english.

pero kuminsan dipende sa pagkakagawa ng subs kung matino naman, sa anime kase sablay kapag funifuck#nmation ang gumawa ng subs eh, may kasabay pang crap music.

Japanese, with eng subs preferably. pero may mga panahong no choice talaga, katulad po nung PS2 era. unmodified PS2 po ang meron ako, akalain niyo po bang naending ko ang Final Fantasy X ng hindi ko naiintindihan ang storya? :lol:

So pano ko nalaro ng maayos? medyo natandaan ko na yung itsura nung mga characters so na associate ko na siya doon like "Fire, Water, Thunder, etc" (Trial and error sa simula) pero may daya po ako ng konti, medyo nakakabasa po ako ng kana. (konti lang ang naitulong, kasi karamihan ng characters eh kanji na talagang sinubukan ko lang tandaan para makpaglaro ako ng maayos.) :lol: pero most of the time hindi ko naiintindihan yung meaning nila not unless english loanword siya so medyo nahuhulaan ko.

Anime, ganun din. Japanese dub/English sub ang preferred ko. parang hindi na kasi ganung ka "original" pag English dub na, pero personal ko lang yun :)

Edit (OT):
ngayong naka HK PS3 ako at puro english ang menu medyo nakakapanibago nung una. masaya rin palang maglaro na naiintindihan mo yung storya. hahaha. malungkot lang kasi hindi "Moon over the castle" yung opening theme ng GT5 R3 :(

Dubs suck. Sabi nga ni Jessica Chavez of xseed games, they exist to torture the public daw.
