You will listen to the poorly recorded voice lines made with a laptop microphone and never re-recorded because go fuck yourself and you will read the poorly done translation so they can be "with the kids" and you will be happy.

English translation done by twitter freaks I guess. Don't multiple animes have this exact problem?

Jokes on you, I play with Japanese voices. I'm not about to subject my ears to sub par acting or unfitting voices (Genshin suffers a lot from this I hear. WuWa also got moments like Danjin sounding twice her age and I'm not entertaining English HRS)

That said, it protects me not from the shit localization. On occasion though it is funny. Like Boothill randomly saying HOLY BABY between Japanese and there's nothing in the subtitles that syncs with that.

ZZZ's dialog is full of brainrot as well.

God makes me think of the first time I heard English Billy Kid speak in an ad and it was the absolute worst. Evidently he's not as bad in game as he was there and thank God.

E: not to mention the English VAs being irritating SoCal cucks or creeps on Twitter and getting themselves fired in cases or quitting because Mihoyo is wacist which in turn leads to frequent replacements.

Which VA's have been replaced?

In HSR Argenti/Tail, Huohuo and Moze have been replaced. The first two for unknown reasons, but Moze was because the first VA was a former sex pest and they didn't suck enough girldick to be allowed make a comeback.

No new replacements in Genshin but Sucrose's VA is sperging out on twitter so they are probably the closest.

In addition to the post above, Soukaku and Lucy from ZZZ also got their English voices replaced.

It's interesting to note that Lucy was voiced by Courtney Lin who also voiced Huohuo.

Billy Kid also got his voice actor replaced at launch.

Side note: Wasn't a bunch of Chinese voice actors also replaced form Genshin?
 
Noticed last time I got on how there's now a button that marks where shit is on maps so I don't have to look up a guide of every location ever and then mark it with labelled pins. Like that, but it also kind of makes the small skills some characters have of marking certain region's items when the items are nearby a bit less useful, but only a bit because the thing is a radar circle and not a pinpoint like those skills are.

Is it just me or has the translation quality been getting a lot worse lately?

I saw this shit hit out of nowhere while playing and was like "oh no they're slipping into the eternal current year style translation". The rest still seems to be normal but there's always that chance now that the door has been opened. Also noticed some weird shit with one of the NPCS in a main story quest. I think it was the same one as the "doomer" line, too.

Seriously what the fuck? The audio and none of the other dialogue is like this, It's just this one line. Had to scour a bit of various people's uploads of gameplay for this till I got one that talked to the actual characters, glad I didn't hallucinate this shit.

Only one I remember is the Chinese VA for Oz was replaced early on because they cheated on their wife with a bunch of fans, which is why Fischl was MIA for so long.

Kind of funny that the guy that voices the "straight man" of the duo was the one with the VA who got up to nasty shit.

Surprsed Paimon's VA didn't get replaced given the reception to the fucking voice online and also them pulling eternal current year revisionist shit like claiming paimon was non binary o trans or some shit like that for a bit. Weirdly the knowledge of the VA being an even worse obnoxious piece of sht on social media made the voice less painful to me, or at least funnier. Might also just be because the dialogue has leaned more into the "annoying dumbass helper" aspect of paimon since launch... Maybe it's stockholme syndrome. I don't know.

Yeah if your name is not Joshua Moon with irrational hatered for JP dup, it's usually just better since nips' VA industry is very big and respected. They are kinda treated there as celebrities so a lot of people go into VA trade schools giving very reliable results.

You see, you have to spend your gems on character that has the exploration passive and then use them together circle shows you where to look and then passive reveals individual items. Also unfortunately not all items are searchable some of those required for new reputation quests are pretty sparse and had me looking it up on interactive map anyways.

I remember seeing that too, stuff like grammatical errors used to happen in side quests in the earlier versions like in Inazuma, which would take them ages to fix. You'd think they'd have better testing to make sure these things don't happen.

Grammatical errors aren't anything compared to this weird placeholder text shit. I also remember buggy stuff from earlier versions like the audio/cutscenes clearly meant for the female character playing instead of the male's so you'd end up with characters seeming like they're gay till you realize your guys being referred to as "she" lmao. That only happened a few times and was a clear bug but still funny.

You don't have to spend shit, the radius for the radars is so small that unless you are only looking at the mini map you're gonna see where everything is. Also the items that are sparse you CAN search tend to be in little clusters all over the place. If you collect all the ones when it's selected in one searchable area it auto-detects another area. I got Kinich's level up shit really fast thanks to that. Really fun and weird gimmicky character in how he attacks, glad i unlocked him when I got around to rolling with all the free shit I got from doing almost all the recent story missions. I REALLY like how his shitbag companion just insults the shit out of you constantly.

EDIT: You reminded me unintentionally that the way the game frames saurians as friends thought killing them would lead me to get punished for it. It's the only way to gather level up supplies for characters so you need to attack/aggro and then kill them.

Well both are lack of QA/responding to QA issues. But also missing such a jarring mistake is pretty damning.

I think in this case it's the combo of the placeholder text shit for the one NPC and the doomer addition that makes it worse than prior times. Prior times it was just small grammar errors or something happening in the game that randomly and inconsistently caused the wrong audio to play. This is different.
 
To Kinich havers: how is his exploration gimmick/mechanic outside of Natlan? I don't have Emilie, nor do I want to pull for his weapon, but I'm tempted to try to pull for him if his spiderman slingshot is on par with Kazuha/Cloud Retainer in terms of making exploration a lot more fun/easy even when not in Natlan.

he gets one less grapple IIRC, it's not as severe of a nerf as the character before him. I tested him out in some areas outside of natlan after seeing something in his actual listed moveset was supposedly tied to the nightsoul blessing (the high damage move/megabuster cannon thing) but then it worked outside Natlan anyways so I guess the "nightsoul points" it mentions aren't the same thing as the normal nightsoul shit exclusive to Natlan. The grapple thing though yeah he gets one less of those outside natlan. Definitely gonna make climbing easier.

As mentioned above 1 less grapple but also you cannot switch into him while sprinting or gliding which reduces his mobility quite a bit. But still if you like his gameplay its pretty nice since you keep a lot of momentum while doing his swing kinda a worse version of cloud retainer.

Also if you are inside Natlan you could glide on someone else -> switch into Kinich doing 1st swing and then hold 2nd swing to regain stamina.

That's not placeholder text, that's just a bug where NICKNAME is supposed to be $NICKNAME and mean whatever you called the traveler, and merged the gender specific dialogue. "cool today" = aether, "pretty today" = lumine.

Honestly for a company that cranks out updates every 6 weeks in multiple languages and platforms I'm surprised the game isn't more broken. It's mostly just been minor things with the odd serious bug here and there. Genshin/HSR are the only AAA games outside of Nintendo ones where I haven't run into any bugs or issues.
 
Reading through this thread was like a lovely time capsul reminding me of all of the highlights that this silly chink game has had throughout the years. I wouldn't have thought there would be this many actual fans on KF.

Has anybody actually attained the Platinum medals in the Thorns and Crowns event because it feels overtuned as a motherfucker and had me swinging at air earlier when trying to max it out
