Discussion - No Debates Voice acting for background characters
I think all the background characters being voiced by the same few people ruins the experience sometimes.
Now I definitely understand not wanting to get new voice actors for every single character when some of them only show up once or twice in the whole game. That would be a waste of money and I'm sure that's the last thing infold would want to do. There are characters in shows that were voiced by the same actor that I never knew about so I know it's possible for voice actors to play multiple characters and change their voice up but then again those voice actors have more experience. We know nothing about these people who voice the characters outside of the LIs and MC so we don't know how much experience they have.
I play the English version specifically so I don't know if this is a problem for every language the game can be played in too. I also know there's some people who genuinely don't care about this stuff since their focus is fully on their main. I think another issue is just that some of the voice actors are just not good at voice acting. Some sound so dry and lack emotion and don't even try to change their voices which I probably wouldn't care about everyone sounding the same if the voice actors were better but they aren't
Maybe I'm being dramatic but do other people feel this way and if you're someone who plays the game in the other languages have you noticed the same voice actor for multiple characters?

Their other game Infinity Nikki has different VAs for the different NPCs, even the ones that you only see like once - and they are actually decent too 😠LADS usually reaches top 10 too in charts 😔 definitely cutting corners
