Voice acting is HUGELY important to the English audience. We want a person who'll do justice to the character, not some newbie they pulled in out of open casting calls.

). Well I guess I'll still have time to rebeat every game I own(if I actually start playing them again, cuz I dont play PS2 much @ school).
AhemSo, putting both English and Japanese voiceovers was just too hard. However, the English voiceover was done quite well. After all, we are not planning to include the Japanese voiceover into Vol.2 and Vol.3.
1UP: Will all the same voice actors be reprising their roles in Vol. 2? The American version of the .hack//Roots anime has different voice actors than .hack//G.U., such as Haseo being voiced by Andrew Francis instead of Yuri Lowenthal -- is there a reason for the change in voice actors from the game to the anime in the American version?
Brian Glazebrook, localization manager: Ideally, we would have liked to use the same actors. However, since the production of the game started earlier than Roots, we set out to cast Yuri Lowenthal and Co., who are all located in Los Angeles. However, once the anime was brought to the U.S. to be localized, the production was being done by Ocean Media (who has done many titles for BEI, such as the Gundam series). Unfortunately, Ocean Media is located in Canada, so it was difficult to cast the same people for the roles. We have worked together to keep the voices as similar as possible.
Yep were lazy mother F***ers but if this mean vol 2 come out in the summer would that mean we wont see vol 3 in america till next winterk-su wrote:I bet the delay is some kind of marketing ploy. They wait till they get to a month they feel everyone has their funds back up again and then BAM, they hit us w/ the game. If they put it out too soon, maybe not everyone who wants it will be able to get it. (What lousy reasoning...lawl!) I dont know.....Maybe the time for actual production of the games....(but that sounds kinda retarded since the japanese get theirs out faster.....lousy American work ethic...)
