Is it just me or is Durin's voice really bad? Not just his voice acting, but the voice itself too. He sounds much too old and it's generally an unpleasant voice to listen to.
 
Finally. He took so many pulls...

His voice does not match his visuals at all. He sounds like he thinks the shit he's saying is cringe.
 
Turns out if you start or finish the new AQ your progress in Selenic Chronicles is completely paused and cannot be progressed until you finish the next AQ in the next patch.
It's locked for me and I have yet to even start the quest

Edit: also hearing that Durins English voice sucks ass makes me super happy I still play JP and can enjoy Chiaki Kobayashis voice work

They pulled a +30 british theater and tv actor and told him to voice an anime teen with murican accent and it does not sound good. I watched an interview and the guy speaks normally but with Durin he sounds strained as hell. I assume hoyo forced him to hold back the accent and try to sound young but he can't pull it off, it just sounds awful and forced.

Huge contrast to the jap voice lines where he sounds like average anime teen boy (35y VA) but doesn't yell and his battle lines are short and calm.

btw there was the star rail livestream and some unexpected stuff


codes

CODE 1: PS3QWS3ACGDK

CODE 2: RSJ9EB2TDGC7

CODE 3: MTKQEAJAUZWB

So notable things here is that 1- There was no edo star tease. AT ALL. Nothing. This in contrast to revealing the amphoreus cast before 2.8 (dooming rappa)

and 2-The next patch will last 8 weeks long.

Is this due to japan and china political drama? probably but 2 weeks is still too little to realistically create a new fake planet, they might be waiting for this to die out or changing small stuff like models and names.

There is seemingly no apology or compensation for this either. The patch will also feature 3 double banners so it's clear hoyo is not too concerned and stil wants to milk your money instead. The baners will be Constance (dahlia) + Firefly -> Fugue + Lingsha -> Aglaea + Sunday.

Yes nigga you will get the full firefly team at once and you better like it. Boothill who? Rappa who?

I need Hoyo to stop with the autostart plus forced continuation of quests. There are people who want to take breaks and not be held hostage in special instances followed by cutscene marathons. Let people play at their own pace.

That said, I didn't expect Act VI to end like that. Consider me intrigued.

And I agree with everyone that Durin's EN voice sucks. His combat lines are so grating, they're souring me on his character, which the poor guy doesn't deserve. For me the worst EN VA is still Lumine's, though I admit I'm biased since I can't stand the twins at all and wish I could replace them with the manekins.

But Lucas, didn't you hear from Reddit? He's queer!! Any criticism of him makes you a bigot.

Shitpost aside, it could be it's a similar situation like with the EN voices of Neuvi and Diluc, that being that apparently neither of them knew much about the character they were voicing, and so just did what they felt was appropriate.

I have mentioned how EN Diluc sounds like a prissy LA douchebag, and I believe it was mentioned to me in this very thread that EN Neuvi's VA thought he was voicing some arrogant god figure who needed to judge the stupid mortals and thus tended to yell his combat lines in ways that didn't fit Neuvi at all.

Without having heard EN Durin, I am going to assume it is probably a similar situation. Or it's a case of an actor with a whole different expertise not translating well to VA. There's bit of a difference between voice acting and theater acting and not everyone can bounce between the two.

ACKSHULLY he's 31, not that it makes a difference. But yeh, the guy is pretty good at the calm soft voices.

Which is why it sounded so...interesting for lack of a better word in Etheira Restart, where he tried to sound angry because his character was an angry egdelord and he sounded super hoarse. He still did a fine job, but it was somewhat of a departure from what I am used to.

Also did you know that Nahida/Qiqi's VA (Yukari Tamura) is 49 years old?
The baners will be Constance (dahlia) + Firefly -> Fugue + Lingsha -> Aglaea + Sunday.
Ah well that sounds like an easy patch for me.

Guess I can't get away with skipping Aglaea anymore. Also that bitch is getting yet another rerun, huh? Why couldn't it be Robin?
Yes nigga you will get the full firefly team at once and you better like it. Boothill who? Rappa who?
At least Booty had A rerun. Rappa will forever be fucked. I'm telling you, she's doomed to the dupe shop.
A look into Lahai-roi, featuring not Cyrene.

Any __Mains subreddit is cancer. The PhainonMains subreddit is filled with retarded shipping wars between Phainon/Mydei and Phainon/Cyrene, with the former brigading the latter.

I've heard a theory, that whoever was in charge of writing the story for it made a huge mess, and they are now trying to crunch it into something serviceable. Politics is just a convenient excuse.
Huh. Considering the nonsense that was Amphoreus, I wonder what mess they made for the new planet.
 
Thing is though, I hate shiptards of any colour and I find any age talk in Genshin so fucking annoying. People freaking out about Fischl being old enough to drink or not (to use a non-shipping example that I've come across) because they are shocked that Hoyo could show an illegal activity (because remember, even a fictional world is America where you need to be 21) need to get a real hobby.
Same with the shipping. There's definitely gross stuff out there that I'd nuke from the orbit, but does anyone honestly think that this dumb discussion will stop someone from writing/drawing their degenerate shipping slop? It's pure tumblr mentality if you ask me. No amount of whining will ever stop the shippers, sadly.

I wonder what they say about Diona who's a bartender and can drink, apparently but actually hates the taste of alcohol.

I wonder how they feel about countries where you can drink at age 16.

I'm thinking of that post Lucas showed in the thread where people were equating Rerir to fucking child murder in Israel or some shit. People are fucking stupid.

Diona hates alcohol because her father is an alcoholic, I don't think the game ever mentions her actually drinking the stuff and I doubt she ever will because China is very particular over minors being depicted drinking alcohol in fiction, which is why the Traveler was depicted only drinking "juice" until recently when I think they finally dropped the pretense.
 
Shame, first character i was excited in a long time and he'll have a cancer fanbase.
It's certainly unfortunate but just stay away from those people and you'll be fine. You don't have control over how retards act so tbe next best thing is to walk away. Oddly enough I don't really have much of a problem with Durin's VA (I have a high tolerance for stuff like that). English dubs are kind of hit or miss I'll admit.
 
Brown Dust 2 is coming to steam (16 December)
Game is cool i guess but not for me (also at least for me it was VERY generous with pull materials)
Basically you put 5 niggas in their space and they have their own attack patters like some attack 3x3 or sideways and you apply buffs and shit.

Already did before posting here stalkerless child.
Yeah about that, it got banned appearently

Maybe but I think it's more so they can push 3.8 or 4.0 around Chinese New Year's so they can make an excuse to go back to the Xianzhou
and probably delay Edo Star for any other revisions and/or WIP
