Greil vs. Black Knight (japanese version)

[Omegalucario98]

Lol... The ending is like "Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!"

[starlite319]

Ike, English version: Aww, dad... don't die.

Ike, Japanese version: NOOOOOOOOOOOO FATHER DONT DIE ON ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobbing*

[ApacheMan2K]

Greil was voiced by Takashi Nagasako, who was the original voice of Ganondorf. That's how his voice reminded me of that character.

And I agree -- Ike's voice sounded more bland in our versions of Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I've made fun of his screams when he falls off a stage, and when he flies through the top of the screen (that scream makes me sing, "You are never coming down").

[BAB13100]

@ApacheMan2K Oshit. I just noticed that.

[ApacheMan2K]

@BAB13100 Ike's scream in SSBB? XD

[BAB13100]

@BAB13100 No, the Ganondorf= Greil's voice thing.

[Jompe94]

he kinda looks like charlie sheen

[DiojiCat]

I like the version better. Ike's English voice annoyed me so much. >.<

[nagimohoraman]

in radiant dawn give his axe to boyd it overkill >.> xD

[Mbop28]

i like the japanese Black knight's voice. The english one sounds creepy, kinda like Darth Vader, but this one sounds really human. Which I like. It reminds us that he really is a man under all that armor.

[PaperMarioN64Gamer16]

IKE! KUNA! ^_^ I just adore the Japanese voices. アイクは、バック滞在！Or Vice Versa, Aiku wa, bakku taizai! Which supposed to state Ike, Stay Back! Not good at translating for using the Google Translator.

[Melissa55110]

OMG how sad T.T

[raararara]

In this version i can feel the black knight is like : wtf?isnt he supposed to be stronger? But in the english version i fell the black knight is mocking greil.

reasin why i prefer the japanese version

[whatmatterss]

The black knight actually sounds like he's in armor! I always thought the English version sounded more like some creepy pedo.

[HechEff]

Translation:

Ike: "Damn it! That dad... as if I could ignore this!"

Ike: "DAD!"

Greil: "Ike!? STAY BACK!"

Black Knight: "Use this sword."

Greil: "What do you want?"

BK: "I have been looking forward to fighting you. Let us fight without holding back. Vanguard, Lord Gawain."

Greil: "I was once called by that name, but... it's one that I have thrown away along with that sword long ago. My partner now, is this."

[HechEff]

@HechEff BK: "... are you intent on dying?"

Greil: "That voice, I remember now. Only a few years have passed, and you think you can surpass me? Hah, kid... TAKE THIS!!"

BK: "(This isn't right... This reckless fighting style... why...?)"

[yinyang452]

isnt greils axe legendary?

[Alondite993]

@yinyang452 You could...call it a legendary weapon since its weapon level in Radiant Dawn is SS. But I don't believe that it's blessed by Ashera like Ragnell and Alondite, if that's what you're thinking.

[HechEff]

@yinyang452 It's unique, but never implied to be blessed like Altina's swords.

[GenesisSanctuary]

This sounds much better than the english version. The Back Knight's english voice went way overboeard with the echo effects; you could barely undersatnd a word he said!

[MEGAGUY21]

not that the jap voices are bad

but... i like greil amercan voice better

it seem to fit him more

[pivotguyDC1]

Ike at the end: roseanne!! roseanne! ROSEANNE!!!

[XSexyGirl4everX]

ike sounds like he took too much crack in heroine xD lolz

[SayaFight]

GREIL SOUNDS LIKE HEIHACHI O_O

[msmonarchbutterfly]

Ike's voice is sooooo annoying!!!!!

[NiggeliNG]

this sounds a heck of a lot better than his english voice

[IkeIV1]

Weapons triangle fucked up Greil D:

[25isname]

ya it did but even if he hit im it wouldt hurt him :( epic fail

[yinyang452]

@IkeIV1 his axe has the special effect to not be affected by that.......i think.

[NorfairPrince]

2:28 Ike just repeat «Oyaji», that means 'father'. In the english version they "translated" that with a more dramatic «Father... Don't... leave me!».

Anyway, this time, I prefer an american voice. The Black Knight american voice is better than japanese one, in my opinion.

[psychosiris]

Ugh, I don't like Black Knight here. His voice is too generic and unremarkable. The English version may have been a bit feminine, but it had a more mysterious feel to it. This guy just sounds like an office worker got ahold of some pimp armor.

[HARUHlIST]

@psychosiris Not really.

The guy behind the armor of the Black Knight is "that guy" and the voice actor for this black knight fits "that guy" as well.

[kagoxxx]

ike's voice = sasuke from naruto?

[shrodu]

Jap Ike > Amer Ike

[MechaSonicX]

American dubbing has a 90% fail rate

[ApacheMan2K]

anyone notice that Greil sounds somewhat like Ganondorf, or Cervantes? they were all voiced by the same actor -- Takashi Nagasako.

[Maria30588]

Ha! I did somewhat notice that.

[ReonSukottoKenedi]

The Japanese voice of the black knight is better than the english one. By far.

[rappy101]

I like the black kights voice in japanese better

[ayufartman]

apparently greil's never heard of the weapon triangle

[SaitoIkari]

lol so true guess he skipped the tutorials .

[AnimaxRules]

LMAO

[ShadowDusack]

I blame the game producers for not adding Sword Reavers!

[Margull]

@ayufartman LOL HAHAHA

[HechEff]

@ayufartman OH SNAP.

[Mbop28]

BKs jap voice is better

[Fandetidus]

japanese is better except for the dark knight's voice ^^

[Shinsengumi1324]

Black Knight doesn't sound gay in the English one. After all, how can one sound gay with their...

DARTH VADER VOICE CHANGER!?!?!?!!?

Ike sounded alot better in japanese, I'll say that much.

[josefknight]

BLACK KNIGHT DOES SOUND GAY in the english one

[Ahturos]

It really sounds like the helmet is in the way to speak clearely.

[ShinXari]

japanese dubbers are indeed very skilled...

in anime.. in the videogames etc...

but i've guessed the black knight voice was more deep...

well he's a normal man under a great armour after all..

but very beatiful scene!

[ShadowxxxGod]

Errrr, my little brother pointed out that it sounds like Ike is saying "Holy shit!" when he holds Greil. Does anybody else think it sounds like that?

[Deruseu]

Where is the blood?

[kelbo1rox2your3sox]

E-rated game.

Now then... I miss the BK's Eng. voice. The creepy echoes are cool and he just sounds too...not incased in armor here. Greil was fine, I like him either way. Ike needs his Jap. actor.

[5978888]

Wow the Japanese BK has a waaaaaay more realistic voice. In the English one it's like he has a voice changer in his helmet. In fact, I wouldn't have minded it if America kept the voices the way they were and just added English subtitles, the Japanese are fantastic actors!

[moonlightguardian]

zOMG.... comparing the jap. voice to the eng. voice.. is like comparing heaven and earth...

[josefknight]

so true man

[BlueDaw]

Ike's scream at the end... ROFL xD

[SnakeByte117]

The black knight sounds more realistic in this one, in english he sounds all echoy... makes me shudder every time.

[DragonGodXIII]

The Black Knight sounds so much more badass in Japanese

[NexismGaming]

I know he sounds gay in the american one :P

--Erik

[RyuNoZero]

ok it seams that the european ver. been cutted qq and japanese Voices are better for hearing ^^

[krackofan64]

The contrast between the Black Knight's Japanese voice (a realistic...yet less "evil sounding" muffled voice) to his English one (where ol' Blacky talks in a soft ghastly voice) is astounding.

[Sephiran1]

i think jason adkins did great in the fire emblem games, but he could have been better in SSBB

[thequietone17]

...I feel bad for laughing but Ike's scream is just so funny.

[LuigitheSith]

Interesting to note, the Black Knight's japanese voice in PoR is the same as his true identity's japanese voice in RD. In america, this is not the case.

[Jorfapigo]

The story behind Greil/Gawain, the BK (his true identity) and Ike is very deep and epic... I could play these games time after time just for that

[MasterDest]

I just realized that ike dresses exactly the same in Radiant dawn as his dad before his promotion.

[TrueGamer13]

I like the English Black Knight's voice better. His Japanese voice sounds like its being smothered by a pillow!

[UndecidedRPGplayer]

Of course the voice sounds muffled, he's speaking through a helmet. I'm sure your voice would be muffled too if you were trying to speak while wearing a helmet.

[arcenioxx]

Hoyashe? Hoyashe.. HOYASHE!!!!( donnow how to spell it) XD, that made me laugh so hard :P.

I personally think the japanese voices suck, compared to the english ones. (Though I usually prefer japanese) And everyone is talking about not being able to understand the black knight in the english version, but i heard what he said just fine. (after watching this scene twice, the first time, i was like: WTF?)

[aquanits0]

If you listen to the emotions in the Japanese voices, you can see how much better they are then the bland English ones. This is the only area that I was disappointed on in this (and it's sequel) game.

[DHARMAandOthers]

hahahaha same, that was so funny!!!

[LuigitheSith]

FIVE WORDS.

I fight for my friends.

[LuigitheSith]

Plus, you must think about how Ike's japanese voice actor is ACTUALLY A VOICE ACTOR. For the dub, they almost literally pulled some random college football player off the street and said "hey, here's some money, read these lines out loud for us."

[Tetra935]

He isn't that terrible, I mean really Jason Adkin's (Ike) worked hard. And for a beginner, he isn't too shabby. And I've heard my share of very awful voice work (Listen to Mist in Radiant Dawn, it's like listening to a Cinderella mouse on pure sugar) when it comes to certain video games. I often just mute the TV and read the subtitles to myself. XD

[LuigitheSith]

I dunno. After his work in Brawl, Jason Adkins...I just can't see him as being a good voice actor now.

[Tetra935]

Well, they did just sort of bring him in from no where. XD But I have a feeling (if he does anymore VA work, of course) he'll get better. It's like people who draw, or even write for a living. The more they practice, the better they improve, right?

[LuigitheSith]

When ALL of the VA's in one game are pretty bad, one must wonder if there's some pattern.

Well, all except the Black Knight.

[Sephiran1]

how are the voices bad....i think the voices fit the character, especially in RD, even mist, though it could have been a little better.

[LuigitheSith]

Does anything really need to be said except "I fight for my friends". That really sums it up there.

I mean yeah, he has a good VOICE, but he's a terrible actor.

[Sephiran1]

ok, but this is not live acting, this is just voice acting, so save that for when hes doing it live

[LuigitheSith]

But he needs to put emotion into his voice. Whether or not you're actually a good actor depends mostly on your voice. Your bodily movements mean very little.

[Sephiran1]

while that is true, i must disagree with the bodily movements, they are a huge part. if ur body cant act the part, ur voice alone wont get u to become a respected actor. if u have the voice down, but ur movements are off then that would look stupid

[LuigitheSith]

Alright then.

But in voice acting, your voice is all you have. If your voice sucks, you suck. End of story.

[Sephiran1]

ur right...but i dont think any of the voices sucked, but thats my opinion, anyway what voices didnt u like

[LuigitheSith]

In Path of Radiance? Well, mostly all of them. By which I mean, 3 out of 5. Ike I've voiced my opinion on. Mist was...absolutely terrible. And Greil kinda freaked me out when he yelled "Ike...STAY BAAACK".

[Ragnell789]

Yeah... Mist sounds like she's 20 in the english dub... which is weird because she's between 10-13.

[Ragnell789]

You want to see bad acting? Watch the Radiant Dawn video "Alone"... The one where he walks out of the castle and sees an army turned to statues... THAT'S horrible.

[LuigitheSith]

lol spoilers?

Good thing I finished the game already.

Yes, that was absolutely terrible. And his voicing in the ending FMV wasn't that good either.

[TwilightWolf032]

@arcenioxx i must say, i totally don't agree with you. japanese version is way better. anyway, each person has their on opinion, so i don't blame you. and i think you meant "oyaji? oyaji... OYAJI!!!!!"

(Oyaji means "old guy" or something around that line)

[Kazooiie02]

@arcenioxx haha ik this is a little late but it's oyaji which means father X)

[ApacheMan2K]

@arcenioxx What Ike said was, "Oyaji", which is a way of saying "Father" in Japanese, usually.

[Bigfatjerkface]

The Black Knights voice sounds kinda lame in comparison to the English version. Greils voice is cool though. Ike sounds dumb in both versions unfortunately =/

[NekoxKumi]

Greil's so meme :P

Marth (in the OVA) and Ike both have ear piercing screams. u_u

[HappilyAnti]

IKE STAY BACK

...His dad is a Meme. XD

~Osa

[Jorfapigo]

I think I prefer english over japanese this time... Save for the Black Knight, he sounds kinda...weird

[TokichanReturns]

Oh, I don't. Ike sounds so... flat. *shiver* Especially in RD and Brawl. Argh. Gives me chills. And not in a good way.

[biskitfar]

AAAAA GREIL NOOOOO

[ZeroWingXX]

the only thing i dont get is: how the hell is there no blood?

[Perrine234]

The power of a T rating (B in Japan). ;)

[HalfMoonBlade]

The amount of japanophiles in this video is amazing. Fucking idiots.

[Patrick3465]

Japanophiles? Is that even a word? Fire Emblem isnt even an Anime.

[HalfMoonBlade]

It doesn't even have to apply solely to anime. It applies to all these morons in this video commenting about how "omg english is teh suckz japanese forever!!!!!" I bet they don't even understand a single word of Japanese.

[Patrick3465]

Then go tell that to someone who cares. Your just wasting my time and yours.

[HalfMoonBlade]

If you didn't care, you wouldn't have replied. If anything, the only time that was wasted is mine, by your idiocy and failing to comprehend what I was talking about. Think before you make a comment next time, dipshit.

[LordOfPastries]

Actually, FE has both anime and manga versions. The FE anime was only two episodes long those...(wasn't it? I forget.)

[Patrick3465]

Yeah,they stopped airing it because it didnt have much of a plot or something. They would do much better if they made a FE anime now

[aquanits0]

it was an OAV, which tend to be limited.  I think it had funding issues if I remember correctly. It had plenty of plot (after all it was based off the 1st/3rd game). I wish they would make one off of FE4 (seiesn no Keiffu)

[Patrick3465]

I think I've seen a bit of gameplay of that.. Is it the one with Sigurd?

[aquanits0]

FE4, yes

[Patrick3465]

Greils voice in the English version is pretty Epic :P (Off topic)

[darkzero16]

i agree 100% his was the only one i liked (well the BKwas kinda cool 2) mist and elincia needed better VAs 4 sure and ike.......well yea him 2

[armadilloHD]

sup troll

[WindRiderDotA]

hell you can't even hear the black knight either. japanese voice acting is so much better.

[badendersgame]

turn the volume on your tv up...

i always heard him just fine

[bradchats]

Greil's voice in japanese sounds way better than it does in english. When i watch this in english my ears bleed the voice acting is so bad.

[digitalstarlight]

I AGREE! I AGREE! This is way better in japanese than in english.

[MilayaMilenZeal]

Naturally; the original is usually best.

[Musame09]

Maybe you should do this in reverse like I've seen someone do in the english version and they'll speak heron....

[aquanits0]

The Ancient language is Japanese pronounced backwards, not just said in reverse. so there is no way it could work in English.

[Musame09]

I didn't say reverse it in english....I meant this version. It's not like it can hurt to try anyway.

[honeypeanuts300]

they need to make a prequel game and Greil could be the main character that way he could finally get the respect he deserves and if any body agrees with me give this comment a thumbs up

[mindfreakpro]

Ike sounds he's saying "Oh ya shit!!!" at the end of the video! XD

I'd probably say the same thing if some bad-ass bastard killed my father in front of me like that!

[aquanits0]

please watch you language. also, there are no sear words in Japanese.

[mindfreakpro]

Oh, sorry. I'll watch my toung next time.

[ReiClone88]

Actually there are, in fact at the very beginning of this video Ike utters "Kuso" (Damn).

[supr4]

DOMINATED

[DarkDragonAsassin]

ugh the black knight sounds really baddd in the japaneese version....

[paxpacis2]

The japanese voice of BK is much better. Though it reminds me of darth vader. well in the english you wonder how Greil notices the voice of BK, dontcha? Well after all he is *spoiler* Zelgius *spoiler*

[elmartinescomotaldo]

you really know how to ruin things...you stupid bastard

put more spoiler tags before saying something like that...or dont even say it...

[lokichan2004]

Zelgius is the Black Knight? I didn't know that. I still haven't beaten PoR. Good thing I like spoilers, eh? :p

[paxpacis2]

ike's voice would perfectly fit for Link, if they had more movie sequences for him

[deathballad]

Ike's father is hot!

But Ike became hot too in his Radiant Dawn version.

Like father, like son after all! :3

[positron15]

Note how they have more emotion and actually fit! This is way better.

[Hampus91]

so this is how ike is gonna sound in brawl....

[SL2000]

Indeed, Ike's scream wracked me with raucous laughter

[FeralWolfQueen]

hahahaaaaaaaaaaa lololololol ike's voice is hilarious his scream at the end had me pissin myself 5 stars 4 makin me laugh cause ive had rather a depressin day

[ArgentoSohma]

The black knight's Japanese voice isn't as ominous, but at least I can HEAR HIM!

[Eguerrerofan302]

Whoops said The same person PAris and Ike are the same person. Glad they changed the name. And oh I only actually like Dark Knight's voice in the Original. and Ike's voice they sound realistic..If they copied BK and Ike's voice in japanese and added in Greil's american, european voice it would sound pretty cool.

[Eguerrerofan302]

Wow the only voice i like here is Ike and Paris.

[Auriono]

The Black Knight's voice actually sounds like the person who is inside the armor. I'll give you a hint, watch some FE10 videos. I also noticed that there is more huffing, puffing and grunts than there is in the English version.

[eyeof123]

man when ike screamed at the end i couldn't stop laughing.

[blackshot]

lol they swear in jap thats awesome

[exxucus949]

o_O The japanese BK sounds a lot more like the person inside the armor than the english one.

[MewShaVinBasUra]

I don't like it, its all muffled like, the English one was sounded so good because it was echoey and ominous, I can't really take him so seriously with his Japanese voice. Too bad that the rest of the English cast sucks.

[Kryptopyro13]

I couldn't even hear the BK in the English one... >_> Or it just sounded all muffly...

I like JP Ike and BK, but I like US Greil, but I did like the loud noise he made in the JP one. XD

[Althalus89]

I dunno, I hope he's in SSBB but anyay I think these kind of scenes should be subbed instead of dubbed.

I mean we all know it it's more enjoyable to listen to the original speakings dubs always messes with the enjoyment.

[GUGLETLEX27]

Is Ike in SuperSmash Bros.Brawl?

[FlamingSlayer]

Yes he is. He was announced to be in today

[bobthecoolman]

hahah Ike cusses in Jappenese (i recognized it when he's running-from Naruto) I think its shit or damn...

[aquanits0]

actually, the Japanese don't have such words. That's just what most fansubbers translate it to, but its not really accurate. it's more like he's saying 'shoot' then anything else. it really doesn't have a translation.

[bobthecoolman]

oooh...no wonder why they use it Naruto subs a lot....

[ApacheMan2K]

really? so, the Japanese language doesn't really have any profanity? one word i do know that's that strong is "kisama", which is a very disrespectful way of saying "you", like you're looking for a fight. but, are there really words in Japanese that are considered swear words?

[aquanits0]

no, there are not. they go by levels of politeness, so technically you can be very rude (and thus considered vulgar), but you can't actually curse in Japanese. when they do curse, it is with English, not Japanese.

[NarutoHitsugaya]

technically english swear words came from the french capture of england... Certain words were considered unintelegent and later became vulgar finally becoming what they are today...

[melanimaniac]

i like them but the black knight's voice sounds way more evil in the english version =D

[darkof]

The audio is much better here, the in the pal-version.

[mariobros02040609]

the dark knight sounds like a regular man in japanese

[GCHILE]

GREIL is bad ass eventhough he lost....

[BlackKnight03]

Overall the English Voices are better considering they are the ones constrained to what they can say (For accurate dubbing of the mouth movements)

The only one that was painful to my ears was Elsbeth Nathanson's Mist voice, it just didn't sit right with me. (And I am open to every dub)

[darkdill]

Hehe, I like the voices for Greil and Ike better in Japanese, but in actuality, the Black Knight sounds better in English. Sounds much more evil. XD

[x14113]

...Oh, and you misspelled Greil.  Many more would find it if spelled correctly.

[aquanits0]

Opps, Type-o I was typing it too fast. Thanks for letting me know. It's all fixed now ^-^

[x14113]

...I actually prefer the American voice over this.

However, considering what is now known of the BK, it will be interesting to see how well the US voice will fit his public self.
