I was wondering why X6 had to be in japanese?I mean X5 and X4 was in english but they made the sound effects in X6 of them talking in japanese?Where the in a hurry to throw it in america or were they too lazy to translate it for us?

They were in a hurry to release X6 to North America before the holidays.

They were not being \'lazy\'. Oh wow, you have to read subtitles instead of hear badly dubbed voices for once in an X game. :rolleyes:

The Japanese voices weren\'t horrible, and the dubbed ones in X4 weren\'t that bad either.

I like the subtitles and I like the Japanese voice actors. It sounds more...correct and less humorous.

Example: In X4 the wording was good, I understood the plot, but they could have chosen MUCH better voice actors. X sounded like a 5 year old boy and Iris\'s accent just had me laughing for god knows how long.

This might just be me, but keeping the voices the way they were FIRST intended to be like seems like a better idea in general.

It would have been worse with English voice actors. Look at X7.

Granted, I know some people prefer English for X7, but I\'m sorry, some of the English cast just sounds horrible. *cough* X *cough*

Don\'t the Japanese learn English in school? Why don\'t they translate it for us, and use the correct voice actors so we can enjoy it to our fullest?

If they really wanted the game to be a success, and for us to understand the plot, they wouldn\'t have it all Japanese! The wording is fine, the Voice Acting, ewwwww.

The Americans voice it the way they think it should be voiced....Morons....

\"Megaman was a kid. X is Megaman. X should be a kid too!\" I almost gaurentee thats what the Americans think!

Back before X6 was announced, many people were complaining on the quality of the previous translations (see Mega Man 8 and X4, who used to be mentionned a lot). I suppose that someone at Capcom heard of this, and suggested to just keep the original voice acting. After all, many fans were asking for that, and they finally got it. If Capcom just wanted to rush the game, they wouldn\'t have included voices at all. X5 didn\'t have any in the cutscenes, so that wouldn\'t have been much of a change for the English version of the game.

They do learn the language, but from what I was told, most of the people over there just can\'t speak or understand English at all. They definitely don\'t have an advantage for translating games.


On another note, no one managed to point out that this topic is in the wrong forum? Shame on all of you :P

I would\'ve mentioned it, Doc..but I didn\'t want to start a spam line of \"yes, this is in the wrong forum\" posts..ya know? o.o

But anyways..me as a voice actor? :lol: I dunno..I\'d make Zero sound depressed I\'d think. I could always make him sound like Patrick from Spongebob.

Why do people prefer the english though? Just so they don\'t have to read the text? I thought X\'s voice was pretty awesome in X6, he sounded like a guy..not a child.

And without the English, we don\'t hear things like \"Bass (I\'m calling you a fish)!\", Dr. Light stuttering \"M-m-m-Megaman\" and Zero\'s infamous \"Stop the coop now!\".

:rofl: Coop... XD

But the chickens won\'t let me!

Honestly, You don\'t like the Japanese voices, you don\'t like the American voices.

Guess what? In X6 you can turn the voices off.

Iris sounded alright, it was General and uhh..Colonel, that had the hilarious accents.

\"We must fight vallhennmetmely, with courage and pride. For weh are the Repliforce. The most powerrrfull army in historeeee!\"

\"YAY! *audience quiets down quickly*\"

And when General was talking to Sigma at the beginning.. \"Perrrrrrrrhaps.\"

MEGA X, STOP THE COOP NOW. It needs to be stopped, chickens or no chickens.

Let\'s see...

When I played X6 in English, the voices were in Japanese, but the script was in english. Now, as for comments on what X and Zero sounded like, it was close to hearing a re-run of Sonic X. X sounded like a Japanese Sonic, and Zero sounded like a Japanese Knuckles. It was a little weird for me, but I got over it.

How in the world does Showtaro Morikubo sound like Junichi Kanemaru? Their voices aren\'t really that similiar.

Zero by far has a much deeper voice than Knuckles too, but I forget their voice actors names.
