YS Book 1&2 Voice Acting
« on: June 05, 2007, 12:21:24 PM »
Ok, remember, I haven't played my turbo games in some time and have only been posting here the last couple months.

I just beat Ys 1&2 for the TG-16 and after the 15 minute ending, I notice the voice acting credits and notice Thomas H. Church.  Nah, it couldn't be the same guy.  Sure enough, it is!  Come on, an Oscar nominated actor doing Turbo voice acting.  Nice.

Yeah I know, I was pretty amazed when I found that out as well. Now and days I can't look at him without thinking of Goban!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

They really pulled out all the stops for Ys 1 and 2.  Or should I say most of the stops... there are still a couple stiff/lame voices here and there.  But the game also has Michael Bell who voiced many cartoons (he was Prowl on Transformers) and has also been in many TV shows.  They had the dude who did Bumblebee from the Transformers.  Also Alan Oppenheimer was in there as well as some other fools.

If it weren't for that god damn Tarf and maybe Keith, it could've been perfect!

Poor Goban is regulated to ADPCM.  Thomas H Church is not good enough for full CD quality!  Someone should let him know, but he'd probably be sad.

I am Thomas Hayden Church, and I do not approve of this!

Expect lawsuits. Many. You'll be able to build a treehouse with all these papers.

The line I quoted was in redbook glory. But you're right, he didn't dserve that muffled ADPCM in Ys I!

"Oh I have heard ab00t your bravery. You are going to Darm Tower for the books of Ys aren't you? If you are truly as brave as they say you are, then the entrance to the tower is just behind this cave. Good luck... you'll need it."

I used to be much better at quoting Ys lines, but I suck at it now :( . My favorite was Darm's speech in the room with the goddesses.

Hey, its that guy. Remember? You know, the one in that show Wings.

I got 4 words for you, Telenet Games Voice Acting. I remember laughing at the acting in some Sega CD games and Resident Evil on the PS1, but damn. "Barry!! Where on Earth have you bean?" Yes, she said BEAN and she isn't from some weird part of the US or another country.

Jill from Resident Evil 1 PS1, Saturn and PC. Damn, I am glad they made the remake on the Game Cube. The GC remake is my favorite oldschool style Resident Evil ever. Resident Evil 4 would have to be the other great title.

You mean "I have suffered ten thousand years of humiliation and I will remember every minnute of it as I avenge my anguish!"?

I always liked Darm's "I am pure evil..." speech and Dalles's "You are a most helpful soul aren't you Adol?" taunt.  :P
