Again, waning attention span. Also, I do generally really enjoy the English casting decisions Atlus makes, but it was mostly the convenience. What was originally a way to give my brain a rest, however, has become one of my absolute favourite aspects of Metaphor: ReFantazio, and I honestly don&#8217;t think I would have enjoyed the game as much had I experienced it in any other language.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve played most of my Atlus games in English, mind, but something about Metaphor hits differently for me. The developer has done away with its all-American voice cast that I&#8217;ve become so used to across Persona and Catherine and instead gone for a delightfully eclectic British spread. As a Brit myself, I&#8217;m probably a little biased here, but it&#8217;s been so wonderful hearing so many dialects from all across our little island.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because it&#8217;s not just the usual British guff I&#8217;ve become used to when I play games that dabble with our manner of speaking. You know the ones: the very received pronunciation, the odd gruff cockney or Essex bloke chucked in here and there.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"zMNGNwWGpobYJaNWQbLzX4\" name=\"Metaphor op ed\" alt=\"Gallica and Will look determined, facing the right of the screen, in Metaphor: ReFantazio.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/if-theres-one-thing-i-implore-you-to-do-in-metaphor-refantazio-its-to-play-the-game-in-english.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Atlus \/ SEGA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>British dialects in videogames very rarely venture beyond England&#8217;s capital. So when I emerged in Grand Trad for the first time\u2014the debut city hub Metaphor Re:Fantazio&#8217;s protagonist lands in\u2014I was immediately enamoured with just how many different voices I was hearing. I found myself running up and down Sunlumeo Street over and over just to hear one Welsh man proclaim &#8220;I love it!&#8221; over and over again, with sprinklings of northern and classic Queen&#8217;s English ringing in my ears.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s something I wasn&#8217;t expecting considering that the protagonist and his fairy companion Gallica\u2014voiced by Caleb Yen and Alejandra Reynoso\u2014sound very American, two of the only characters who actually do.<\/p>\n<p>I know I dogged on quintessential English accents a couple paragraphs ago, but after meeting Strohl I immediately fell in love with Stewart Clarke&#8217;s performance. He does a bang-up job as an intelligent and thoughtful noble while also bringing some fantastic emotion to some more melancholic moments. Similarly, Joseph Tweedle&#8217;s early villainous speeches as Lord Louis quickly cemented him as someone I knew I would love to hate, providing the perfect voice to someone who is somehow equal parts beautiful and deeply evil.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"5hFUnR5ThchRym8h64fnQC\" name=\"Metaphor ReFantazio - Launch Trailer - \u201cBurn the Witch\u201d Radiohead Cover PS5 &#038; PS4 Games 00-00-56\" alt=\"Metaphor: ReFantazio\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/if-theres-one-thing-i-implore-you-to-do-in-metaphor-refantazio-its-to-play-the-game-in-english-1.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Sega Atlus)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s Metaphor&#8217;s first villain: Zorba. Seeing\u2014and I mean this with all due respect\u2014an androgynous, slightly twinky, pretty-boy necromancer who suddenly blurts out the gruffest Glasweigan accent I&#8217;d expect to hear in a pub at 3AM on a Saturday night was the most delightful case of whiplash I think I&#8217;ve ever suffered in a videogame.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into Metaphor&#8217;s second town of Brilehaven and I found myself greeted with even more Scottish accents, though with a markedly softer brogue. Albino bat Heismay joins the party during this part, and while Philippe Spall&#8217;s accent is more European than British, his performance is genuinely award-winning for me. Eventually, I get to meet the likes of Junah, who voice actor <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MetaphorReFantazio\/comments\/1gfmgu4\/so_o_asked_junahs_va_about_her_accent_and\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emma Ballantine said<\/a> has a &#8216;light West Country&#8217; accent, and come across Eupha&#8217;s soft Welsh speech (thanks to Emily Burnett) as the penultimate party member.<\/p>\n<p>Neuras is another highlight of mine, serving as the gauntlet runner&#8217;s pilot. David Monteith nails every &#8220;tally ho&#8221; and &#8220;eh wot&#8221; he throws out in a way that somehow makes his antiquated speech patterns and quirks seem completely natural.<\/p>\n<p>Then, there&#8217;s Fidelio and Basilio, voiced by Matthew McQuinn and Matt Whitchurch respectively, who are arguably the two characters who inspired me to write this entire thing in the first place.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"it-s-one-a-them-inni-6\">It&#8217;s one a&#8217; them, inni&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Now, I definitely think I would have loved these two paripus brothers even if I hadn&#8217;t played Metaphor in English. They&#8217;re kinda dorky looking with their mod 60s getup, Fidelio&#8217;s bowl cut and Basilio&#8217;s untucked shirt. They start off as Louis&#8217; lackeys, but develop into incredibly likeable characters as the narrative unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re both also Scousers\u2014someone from Liverpool, for my pals across the pond\u2014an accent that is so very rarely heard in gaming. Again, perhaps I&#8217;m biased here as someone who has a deep fondness for the Liverpudlian diction, but both Fidelio and Basilio&#8217;s performance brings so much more heart to both of their characters.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re even localised with a sprinkling of Scouse slang\u2014Basilio frequently refers to his brother as &#8220;our Del,&#8221; the replacing of &#8220;my&#8221; with &#8220;me,&#8221; adding extra flavour with words like &#8220;proper&#8221; (that&#8217;s proper good, that), &#8220;dead&#8221; (he&#8217;s dead sound, like), &#8220;like,&#8221; (he&#8217;s always worryin&#8217;, like). I could go on forever, honestly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"t3emh46PkyJ6uHqL9Ps38h\" name=\"fidelio and basilio\" alt=\"Fidelio sits casually on a sofa with his arm up on the backrest while Basilio stands next to him, hand on hip.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/if-theres-one-thing-i-implore-you-to-do-in-metaphor-refantazio-its-to-play-the-game-in-english.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Atlus)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There&#8217;s been something special about seeing such underrepresented voices finding their way into Metaphor: ReFantazio, which in itself is essentially a game about just that. There&#8217;s hardly been a moment where I&#8217;ve found myself wincing or cringing at the English voice casting choices\u2014maybe that&#8217;s down to the fact it seems Atlus plucked from the same studio as Larian did for Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, with a lot of the credited actors having work in both. And as we all know Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 is a very, very good game with some cracking voice work.<\/p>\n<p>I definitely would have enjoyed Metaphor: ReFantazio regardless, but its English cast has catapulted the game to one of my favourites of the decade. Voice performances can truly make or break a game, and they can have huge emotional effects on us. There&#8217;s a reason there are awards for best videogame performance, and the voices behind those are often why we become so attached to these bundles of pixels.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t played Metaphor yet, or haven&#8217;t played it in English, I implore you to try it. Especially if you&#8217;re British. Though I will give Atlus one note: Where the hell were the Brummies? I will be taking this very personally and expect an entire city dedicated to Birmingham in the sequel, thank you very much.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/if-theres-one-thing-i-implore-you-to-do-in-metaphor-refantazio-its-to-play-the-game-in-english\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up an insufferable weeaboo, I was a staunch believer in consuming media &#8220;the way the creator intended.&#8221; Whatever the hell that meant.
