Why is the Souls series Voice Acting so fucking amazing?

It just is bruv. It's called acting.
>>
The way oceiros's dialogue and music interweave is so fucking perfect
>>
Don't really like lothric's voice. It feels like I've heard it before and didn't like it then either. Oceiros was some neat shit though, even though the fight was easier when he feral'd out and I'm completely lost what the deal with the baby was.
>>
We all can't forget Sieg's voice!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS3mPs2M-rU
>>
For some reason Lothric's dialogue and voice actor really stick out to me. Probably one of my favourite fights for that reason.
>>
>>335369043
Is Dark Souls 3 worth getting into if I haven't played the previous 2?
>>
Fighting Oceiros always makes me laugh. The baby crying and then the OCELOOOOOOOOOOOTTE and slamming the invisible/nonexistent baby on the ground is memetastic.
>>
>>335372131
It has too many references to the DaS, so you should play DaS first, then 3. Evade DaS 2 tho.
>>
>>335372320

This fight gave me flashback to Max Payne's baby dream level

Because From doesn't hire "Voice actors", they recruit people from Musical Theater and Broadway productions. As it turns out, people who actually learn how to sing and project their voice are significantly better Voice Actors than Voice Actors.

Another production that benefited from this was the original Berserk anime.

I never examined his movements that closely, but I laugh when he cries OCELOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTEEEEEEE and runs across the arena.

I'm not even laughing because I find it funny. It's just such a sad irony that this king became consumed with grief after his daughter died. That, and the music is sooooooo good at that point.

It's amazing how many of the voice actors have been in the British TV show Doctors.
One of them was in it for about 14 years.

Though it does bother me to hear the same voice actor for another character, even more so in the same game. Xenoblade Fiora lady for example was both Milfanito and the pyromancer lady in Dark Souls 2. Hawkwood is the magic dude near Logan in Dark Souls 1 too.
>>
>>335377887
It's like that with acting in general

stage actors and the like are generally a lot better than normal movie/tv actors, since they have to get things right the first time and also in front of a live audience

effort.
>>
You're right, it is amazingly on point. Solaire's brougish voice is basically imprinted on my brain.

And that crazy motherfucker at the fire link shrine "crestfallen warrior" in DS 1. He was just chilling there with a grody heavy-smoker voice and telling you all the shit you need to do, all of it Horrible and not much better than death lol

Yhorm is the most underrated boss in the whole game. His fight is so well executed it's unreal. Legit feel bad for people that didn't do Sieg's quest until that point and just had to cheese him with the sword.

ocelotte is his son from the queen of lothric, his wife. there's some description stating that. if you believe that the queen is gwynevere, and her connection to priscilla and seath; it's not unlikely that her other child from another dragon can also turn invisible when he is afraid.

It's Old Hero (the actual most underrated boss fight in the franchise) with the blindness aspect replaced with Storm King's gimmick which doesn't even make sense here.

This. It would have been better if it was a normal boss fight but if you do Siegwards questline he shows up with the Storm Ruler to wreck shit but there is no second sword in the throne room.

everything i've read says you have to make sure you don't give siegward's armor from patches to siegward until greirat heads out to irthyll
he's the only one that shows any concern for him and in one playthrough when i killed pontiff first instead of old demon king greirat survived
>>
>>335379697
The sad part is that irithyll dungeon is the worst part in the entire game. both from a level design perspective, enemy design perspective, and visual design perspective.
>>
>>335379748
I think you can kill any boss to save him if you've completed the other steps.
You get siegward out, meet him in the kitchen, go to dungeon, then if you send greirat before killing pontiff, you must kill some other boss to continue. this is so that you don't pass through where he dies. if you do, he'll be dead there.
Or you kill pontiff, then do these, then you can kill another boss, again not passing through that area. Same thing can be done with patches as well, but then you lose out on siegward's quest.

Really hope he shows up in the DLC. Honestly, I thought he would be one of the main characters of DS3, considering DS2 basically admits that there's no difference between the fire and dark endings so it doesn't present you with a false choice, and then Aldia comes along and says there's an answer beyond both (which I thought was preventing the fire from ever being rekindled)

the Souls series doesn't have any Japanese VA. That's one reason the dialogue is so good. It isn't translated, it was all written in English from the get-go.

The voice acting is amazing but not all the voices match their characters.

It's kind like the opposite of DMC. Where the voices themselves are amazing and fit the characters, but the actual voice acting/scripts are terrible.

Wouldn't that be the edgelord who gives you the red eye orbs?

Complete Siegward's quest up until you speak to him in Lothric and he will save Greirat.

>>335388227

oh fug I completely forgotten aboud church guy from BB, he and fake iosefka are another amazing bunch of NPCs

it's an awful shame the people in dark souls 3 are not as talkative as bloodborne, It seems deliberate though, since bloodborne was more open with it's openly shared narrative structure, I feel that dark souls has gotten overly criptic over the years and that is hampering the amazing talent of the voice actors they use.

I still shudder at the lines delivered by Aldia in dark souls 2

You don't have to play the previous two games.

3 makes a ton of references to 1 and a few references to 2 so I'm not sure it's a good idea.

Why would you not just play DS1 first? It's a universally acclaimed modern classic and dirt cheap compared to the new game.

>Complete Siegward's quest up until you speak to him in Lothric

Siegward never pops up in Lothric.

He's only in Undead Settlement, Cathedral of the Deep, Irythill sewer kitchen and then the Irythill Dungeons.

Peter Marinker is such a great fucking actor, I wish he did more VA roles.
>>
>>335378860

they ruined the potential of it by shoehorning in the storm ruler, I guess that hacking at his anckles for 10 minutes would've been worse, but it feels too cheap to just "randomly" find the sword right there with a fucking message that blatantly tells you what it does, it's so NOT fromsoftware, they could've done it like with Seath in dark souls 1 where he fucks your shit up on the first encounter and then you go on a mini-quest to find the primordial crystal to fuck HIS shit up, missed potential desu.
>>
>>335381070

actually for him to show up you have to give his armor back in the well then talk to him in the kitchen and finally in the irithil dungeon, that's it

>A lie will remain a lie

Though, I have to say I'm curious, what's up with those female voices going on in the background as part of the echo?

I'm fairly sure he is the one that built the dungeon anon, "giants" seem to be the pawns of the pontiff, you see his "brothers" dead near the giant avelyn ballista that shoots everything that moves in the smouldering lake

Did Oceiros kill his child in some kind of berserk rage or was it just his delusions and magic which made the cries? Pretty sad stuff either way.

Probably the best character in Dark Souls 2 along with the Burnt Ivory King.

>>335390841

nashandra, shalquoir and shanalotte talk in the background with aldia in some lines to provide that cool reverb effect, it's also because the whole dialogue is more meta than normal dialogue so they wanted it to sound cool
>>
How come there isn't a single character that's akin to Yurt or Lautrec in this game?
>>
>>335381715

>coolest dialogue in the whole saga

I can't believe this shit, he better show up in the DLC or I'll muder miyazaki.

no he probably killed the other guy he gave the sword to.

now that I listen to him again I find it very interesting that he constantly addresses you as "hollow", as if that was your true face, maybe Kaathe wasn't full of shit when he said that hollows are the true face of mankind, I just wish they stopped being so shady god damn it, even Yuria sounds like she has a specific plan for you that you just happen to follow.

Vendrick says pretty much the same thing, and you can see that Hollows are what picked up the Lord Souls.
