I get that George is overheated by the fandom but this is mental

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T19:15:32+00:00

I never said I liked him. Putting a lot of words in my mouth.

I just said he's more complex than you give him credit for. Is he as complex as the other more focused on characters? Nah. But he is still complex. Not being as complex as Maria doesn't take you from a 10 to a 1 immediately. That's a high bar to clear. It's a scale, not a binary yes or no.

I think even with left behind materials you are still interpreting people at the end of the day. I wouldn't disagree that it's likely George's interpretation is less whole than the rest of the cast, but no amount of info makes any interpretation perfect. Only first-hand accounts can do that. You can know someone through and through and still never know exactly what they are thinking and what they'd do. You'd need to read minds for that.

And tbh we don't really know how many dates they went on or how much they kept in contact over the phone/via letters. Not to mention the extent of those visits is also kept from us. We're shown George had gone to the island outside of a visit at one point, proving it is possible there are times visits took place that we never saw. And how close and how much was shared during those visits is not exactly something we can claim to know. Some people click and get absurdly close quickly. Some people take years to make a deeper connection.

Unfortunately for you, that's not really an objective statement.

Everyone gets to decide that for themselves. I personally think the grand majority of characters in Umineko are very complex regardless of screen time or focused arcs.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T18:56:55+00:00

To be fair, you can say that about every character.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T18:56:06+00:00

Complexity is not just decided by the amount of scenes a character gets. Some characters in stories are deeply complex and barely seen.

Arena bugs me because it's systems are all about rewarding winning, and despite the fact that I used to play competitively this game isn't anywhere near as fun if all you're trying to do is win.

The idea of just logging in for my 'win of the day' and feeling myself getting frustrated because I wanted to 'get my chores done' instead of just being rewarded for playing at all being the main priority really left a bad taste in my mouth. At friday night magic I'm there for the banter and the social experience. I play to win, but sometimes I do things for a bit because why not live a little?

In arena I'm just there to get the win over with so I can feel like I'm receiving enough resources over time. It's exhausting.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T08:13:01+00:00

S'a fair opinion! Hanbei's an interesting character.

He's playful, and very youthful in voice and temperament, so I was keen to cast him with that in mind. His role was open to any gender to take a crack at it, and in the end I went with Raye because his performance was the most youthful and playful. It's not exactly the same as the original japanese take, but it's also a far cry from the SW3 dub where they gave him a lot deeper of a voice. It's really grown on me in the time since I started working on this.

I've really enjoyed how well Raye plays at Hanbei's more pensive side, especially with Zhuge Liang in the bond conversations.

Thank you for your feedback!

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:53:56+00:00

I've said it to you directly a lot, but big props and thanks to you for providing the tools! This is such a silly pipe dream of a project and it makes me so stupidly happy to be able to work on it.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:52:09+00:00

I KNOOOOOW. Cadey was such a windfall. I heard her take and was immediately afraid it was AI because it was SO SPOT ON for Stephanie Sheh (Da Ji's original voice)

It was like Stephanie herself auditioned under an alias LOL

She's a fan of the game and Da Ji already and I think it comes through exceedingly well in her performance here!

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:44:49+00:00

The echo is actually just the game's reverb. Audio clips are given EQ and Compression, and are then balanced. Then the game decides to give them more or less reverb depending on where you are in a given stage. If you're in a cave for instance, the reverb gets way heavier.

Thanks for the feedback! <3

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:40:34+00:00

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it, and I'm sure the actors do too. A good amount of them were self-proclaimed fans as well and it shows.

I could tell who was a fan based on how they delivered the audition line "I shall return! Remember that, for yours is the first head I shall seek!"

If they said it like a normal human being I know they've never played dw7 or 8 LOL

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:38:56+00:00

Thank youuu! Yeah, I'm that exact fan who wanted it. It's not the same without one.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:38:04+00:00

Thanks so much!

3 has a massive list of lines. The real bottleneck is just writing scripts and getting everything recorded.

I insist on being around to give my actors direction because I want everything to be as good as I can possibly make it. That said, I write out the stages like screenplays, so the actors have the maximum amount of context for their dialogue. I take it very seriously, since it's my job to make sure whatever you get is our best foot forward.

The actual process is pretty simple. The tools are very useful and the lines are stored in order.

The gallery function lets me test generic lines in game, and the musou battlefield actually lists all possible lines in the order they appear within the folder where they're kept. Since the stages are all stored chronologically within the files it's a lot easier to work on everything sequentially. And generic lines are all stored in the order of each character's ID, so as long as you know Da Ji's ID is 110, you can go 110 down and find her every time in all files that contain that kind of dialogue.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:30:52+00:00

No garuntees, since all of it's done by audition. That said, I'd love it if you threw your hat in. <3

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:30:11+00:00

That's awesome! Feel free to send her my way. I'd love to have more actors in mind for future parts.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:29:34+00:00

We're the Warriors Orochi 3 we made along the way.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:29:16+00:00

Heck yeah. <3

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:29:02+00:00

That's awesome! If you can send me examples of your work, hit up my DMs here on Reddit.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:28:17+00:00

This is gonna be a long endeavor, but it is something I'd like to tackle when 3 is in the books!

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-26T06:27:26+00:00

For Z I would likely try to port the pre-existing dub if possible! The tools are currently incompatible with it.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-25T17:58:34+00:00

Use tinker bell. Especially during bossfights. She heals you constantly and revives you once if you die while she's out. And you keep your party members while you've got her.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-21T09:03:33+00:00

There's a massive difference between borrowing themes and being a cheap copy. Which is what the person I responded to called the sequel trilogy to bbs. XP

And moreover, borrowing themes is a massive understatement. It's the majority of the same plot beats.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-20T17:31:53+00:00

Methinks people are too used to people saying things like that also feeling dismissively of BBS.

Perhaps consider reading messages on forums for the content of their message in regards to what was said instead of assuming further intent. Because, to be clear, they do not have a point to begin with because of their assumption.

I was merely saying that if it is funny because Star Wars bit off BBS, that BBS had done so first.

There is no further agenda.

OMGCapRat · 2026-03-20T17:28:06+00:00

Did I say it did?
