YS Book 1&2 Voice Acting

offsidewing · 06/05/2007, 07:21 PM

Ok, remember, I haven't played my turbo games in some time and have only been posting here the last couple months.

I just beat Ys 1&2 for the TG-16 and after the 15 minute ending, I notice the voice acting credits and notice Thomas H. Church. Nah, it couldn't be the same guy. Sure enough, it is! Come on, an Oscar nominated actor doing Turbo voice acting. Nice.

Yeah I know, I was pretty amazed when I found that out as well. Now and days I can't look at him without thinking of Goban!

Joe Redifer · 06/05/2007, 07:37 PM

They really pulled out all the stops for Ys 1 and 2. Or should I say most of the stops... there are still a couple stiff/lame voices here and there. But the game also has Michael Bell who voiced many cartoons (he was Prowl on Transformers) and has also been in many TV shows. They had the dude who did Bumblebee from the Transformers. Also Alan Oppenheimer was in there as well as some other fools.

If it weren't for that god damn Tarf and maybe Keith, it could've been perfect!

"You know well that I cannot let you do that! YS IS NOW BACK WHERE IT BELONGS! Don't you forget about me; I am the bandit, Goban!"

Joe Redifer · 06/05/2007, 09:21 PM

Poor Goban is regulated to ADPCM. Thomas H Church is not good enough for full CD quality! Someone should let him know, but he'd probably be sad.

I am Thomas Hayden Church, and I do not approve of this!

Expect lawsuits. Many. You'll be able to build a treehouse with all these papers.

The line I quoted was in redbook glory. But you're right, he didn't dserve that muffled ADPCM in Ys I!

"Oh I have heard ab00t your bravery. You are going to Darm Tower for the books of Ys aren't you? If you are truly as brave as they say you are, then the entrance to the tower is just behind this cave. Good luck... you'll need it."

Joe Redifer · 06/05/2007, 11:53 PM

Uh, well, almost. I demand that you listen to it again and update your quote. NOW.

Keranu · 06/05/2007, 11:57 PM

I used to be much better at quoting Ys lines, but I suck at it now

. My favorite was Darm's speech in the room with the goddesses.

SNKNostalgia · 06/06/2007, 01:57 AM

Hey, its that guy. Remember? You know, the one in that show Wings.

I got 4 words for you, Telenet Games Voice Acting. I remember laughing at the acting in some Sega CD games and Resident Evil on the PS1, but damn. "Barry!! Where on Earth have you bean?" Yes, she said BEAN and she isn't from some weird part of the US or another country.

Keranu · 06/06/2007, 02:40 AM

Haha, what game is that from? Final Zone II? That's hilarious, I don't remember hearing that anywhere.

SNKNostalgia · 06/06/2007, 02:54 AM

Jill from Resident Evil 1 PS1, Saturn and PC. Damn, I am glad they made the remake on the Game Cube. The GC remake is my favorite oldschool style Resident Evil ever. Resident Evil 4 would have to be the other great title.

You mean "I have suffered ten thousand years of humiliation and I will remember every minnute of it as I avenge my anguish!"?

I always liked Darm's "I am pure evil..." speech and Dalles's "You are a most helpful soul aren't you Adol?" taunt.

"Hey, just cut the conversation. And watch out for my whip".

Those were always my favorite speeches too. People usually hold Dark Fact's speech with the highest regards, but I just can't get enough of Darm's and Dalles' speeches. Dalles and Darm are the most badass villians around.

Michael Bell made the Dark Fact speech. Without him, DF wouldn't have been nearly as cool on Turbo-CD.

I like how they recorded a gameplay tip as part of the final boss's taunting speech.

Alright, look out Char!

Yeah, several of the VA's in Ys 1 & 2 were from TF's & GJ Joe. And I know one of the chicks, Debi Derriberry, was somebody in Tenchi Muyo. And ofcoarse, Lowell from Wings!

Keranu · 06/07/2007, 02:59 AM

Some chick in Ys made a guest appearence in Three's Company from what I found out on IMDB years ago. I really want to see that episode! I've probably seen it and just didn't know it was her at the time.

TR0N · 06/07/2007, 03:13 AM

Ys 1&2 shows what you can do when putting the effort, into having a game dub right.

Still not much... has change since some companys put the effort in while others don't.

Btw even afther "watching the videos on youtube for the remake i still feel the 'music on the PCE/TG16 version is perfect.

It didn't make sense for falcom to change it in the frist place.

CrackTiger · 06/07/2007, 08:15 AM

I think that Ys had decent voice acting more so because they used a real actual pro voice director than just because they hired real actors.

Lilia is She-Ra. I believe that Dalles is Nemesis on Saber Rider. Maria is Darkwing Duck's daughter.

The narrator/Darm of course is Skeletor and I remember episodes of TNG with Alan Openheimer and Michael Bell(both guys are in everything). I always think of Michael Bell as Duke from GI Joe before anything else.

I don't think I've ever looked up their history on imdb or anything before though.

Joe Redifer · 06/07/2007, 10:45 AM

Dark Fact should have given a speech about not getting into cars with strangers and then yelled "Yo Joe!" before the fight.

I liked how in the first episode, Duke and Scarlet do some flips to dodge the lazers fired from a Cobra jet and he winds up jumping on top of and rolling on her.

She says "Hey, why didn't you just say 'watch out'?".

His response: "Didn't you read my green sheet? I'm a man of action".

Even as a kid I knew exactly what he was talking about.

Or saying PORK CHOP SANDWICHS!

Still it would be silly if it turn into a psa by gi-joe.

"Feena" pic.... some kinda milf.

Anyway- way back when, I used to prank call people with the audio from Darm and Dalles. The one I did the most (and had the best responses) was the clip were he's taking about ringing the bell's death toll. People would get freaked out by that one.

Thomas Haden Church? I wish I hadn't known that...

That is so radical! You wouldn't happen to have recorded some of these conversations, have you

? If not, perhaps all of us should try this!

Joe Redifer · 06/11/2007, 04:12 AM

But what if you call someone who doesn't know a "girl Maria"? Also Keranu, be sure to call from your home phone. Nobody has CallerID these days.

SNKNostalgia · 06/11/2007, 08:27 AM

Remember Gallion from the Lunar games, whether it be Sega CD or PS1? He had a really good voice that fit with the cocky attitude of the character. He was the same voice actor that did lots of narration in other games from working designs. "Once again, the world will be mine on a delicious half-shell."

Not to mention that he was also Phades in Dungeon Explorer 2.
