Unvoiced VNs are better. Some characters just can't have a voice to match their character.

I'm sure you could find a great VA for Rance.

I have a hard time imagining it now, but I'm sure if I'd heard Rance voiced from the beginning, it wouldn't be so strange.

I think my voice matches Rance perfectly.
That being said, nobody has ever heard my voice for the last two years.

That second statement doesn't necessarily support the first. But I agree, and so do KS devs.

>> No.4528811

Like 1/10 of the european male population would fit Rances voice perfectly. That said, japan would fuck it up by choosing a girlishly sounding asian to do it.

>> No.4528835

Sometimes voices can help make some (female) characters more likable, but it's a double-edged sword. Other times I prefer unvoiced--for example, FSN.

>> No.4529013

>>4528835

As much as I dislike most of the heroine voices, I'd have to go with voiced F/SN if only for Kotomine and Gilgamesh. I first played it unvoiced, but when I first heard Gil's voice it was exactly as I envisioned it.

Can't happen with Rance because regardless of the VA given to him it would speak Japanese.

Personally, the only heroine whose voice I don't really like in F/sn is Sakura. Ayako Kawasumi and Kana Ueda do quite well as Saber and Rin, respectively.

I agree. If the translation is good enough or if I'm reading in Japanese I actually tend to turn the voices off.

I've encountered some situations where I hear a character voiced for the first time, and the voice is fairly different from what I'd imagined it to be, but after a while I couldn't imagine the character having any other voice. For example, Beatrice from Umineko. When I first heard the voice Sayaka Ohara was using for her on one of the drama CDs, I was a bit surprised by how deep it was. At this point, though, I can't think of anyone else who could voice Beato. (And iirc, Ryukishi07 himself picked Ohara out for the role, so that's the sort of voice he intended Beato to have in the first place.)

Might as well take my time and properly answer this. My game might not have the far reaching advertising machinery or the hype due to dev sameposting and promoting (which I too am guilty to some extent but I still use my name mind you) but people have played my creation. Sure not too many but as long as there is at least one person who downloaded it I am happy. Anyway TFQ the unarchived version meant to showcase the coding and resources (as of today beginning from Wed Feb 25, 2009 10:51 pm) had 3345 downloads not including the other mirrors not much but that still is a lot of people.

And remember, no tripcode not me.

what does that even MEAN, OP? they "can't"? as in it is complete malfeasance to even PRESUME to hope that somewhere in the world there is someone cut out to voice rance? stranger things have happened.

unvoiced eroges would be so freaking boring. who the hell wants to fap to the sound of their own fapping? that would be like jerking off with a buddy in the room.

Voiced VNs are a lot easier to play since you get the pronunciation directly, and it includes more subtle cues on intention that might not be available in the text. If you don't like voices you can always just turn them off.
