This second English trailer for Bravely Default looks and sounds a lot better than the first

You could say that the first English trailer for Square Enix's Bravely Default didn't impress me much.

Actually, that's being a bit harsh. The game certainly looked great, as it always has. It didn't sound so great, though--or at least the English voice acting didn't.



Do the voices featured in this new trailer (above) sound any better? Surprisingly, I think they do, at least a bit, although it's possible my ears are playing tricks on me again.

Regardless, I'm still looking forward to this 3DS game more than I am any other. If only we North Americans were getting it early next month like they are in Europe...

In this post: proof that the English voice acting in Bravely Default is all sorts of painful

Throughout the following, just-released trailer for the English version of Bravely Default, it's stated that players can choose between either English or Japanese audio.

I hate to say it, but after watching said trailer (which can be seen below), I'm definitely going with the latter, as the English voice acting seems ... well, let's just say it's not the best I've ever heard.



Who cares, though, when everything else sounds and looks so wonderful? I especially love the character designs and the backdrop art. Oh, and Revo's dramatic soundtrack, of course.

By the way, according to a recent Nintendo UK tweet, Bravely Default's still due for a 2013 release throughout Europe. Lucky bastards.
