I genuinely liked Richter's English dub. Guy sounded like he was ready to whip some ass.

>> No.3348798

I liked the voice acting, it reminds me of the voiceovers in legends of the hidden temple that had people speaking during olmec's explanations of the storyline of the episode and the artifact in question. Namely and especially Dracula's voice acting.

Unlike the Resident Evil dub, he actually worked here. his quieter moments with Maria and Alucard in their endings worked pretty well too.

Still, to this day I catch myself saying AWESOME; YOU ARE MIGHTY INDEED at stupid shit for no reason.

Personally I love Dracula's voice. It's corny, but booming a villainous way.

Scott McCulloch probably had the best acting chops of the group; he has just the right amount of ham needed for Dracula.

I unironically have always loved the voice acting. As a kid, I thought it was "The right way to sound" for this sort of environment. Growing up I now understand what ham is, and how tone should be used, but I still think everyone did great for this game. Maria I think had some weak-ish moments personally but overall still think it's great.

It helps that I always thought the writing was pretty good too, in general.

Also considering it came out in 97 the voice acting could have been way worse compared to a lot of other Japanese games with English dubs.

Is symphony of the night the greatest game ever made?

>> No.3349321

Blew my mind the other day when I read that Chris and Richter's dub VA passed away back in 2000, or something. I had no idea.

Richter's voice acting was decent, but I always liked Dracula's dub voice.

The writing is pretty decent, but Jeremy Blaustein is a bit of a dick who thinks he was the sole reason the game's dialog is remembered and gives no credit to any of the cast for making his cheesy ass dialog work.

>McCulloch was Richter
Wait what, I would swear to god both the game and IMDB both listed him as Drac. Like for fucking years. The hell.

Playing SOTN for the first time recently and just got to the inverted castle. Really enjoying this game.

>> No.3351331

It saddens me that there are people in this world who think the dub on this game is "too hammy" or just plain bad. People who've never seen a Hammer Horror film and don't realise that over-dramatic and bombastic delivery is exactly what's needed for a gothic horror themed game.

the only line in the whole game that throws me off is the fucking

line after you get done whipping the succubus ass and is presumably dying. Shit just seems so out of no where.

If this game wasn't so piss easy it'd be one of the best games ever made.

Progression isn't satisfying

I reckon it was fine during most of the main castle. You do get pretty overpowered by the time you're at the inverted castle, though.

As an adult I sorta like it though. You're the son of Dracula you're supposed to be OP as fuck.

But I do agree it'd be a welcome addition to have a difficulty setting.
